Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:19-56

3). Jesus is Revealed As The Messiah Who Has Come With Power (8:19-9:36). In this third part of Section 3 Jesus is Revealed as the glorious Messiah Who has come with power but will be involved in suffering and death (Luke 8:19 to Luke 9:36). It may be analysed as follows: a He no longer owns responsibility to His own family who do not believe in Him, and are on the outside (His own do not recognise Him) (Luke 8:19-21). b He is revealed as the One Who is from above by quelling the storm,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:30-56

Jesus Raises the Dead, Revealing His Power and Authority Over Death (8:30-56). Having been rejected by His own family, and having revealed His power and authority by quelling the storm and raging sea, and by dealing with a legion of evil spirits, Jesus was now about to enter a new realm, the realm of death itself. Nature, the spirit world and death are to be seen as under His control. Only man resists Him. In what follows Jesus goes to the aid of a young twelve year old girl who has died, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:51

‘And when he came to the house, he did not allow any man to enter in with him, except Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother.’ When they came to the house Jesus excluded from it all but Peter, John and James, and the parents. He did not want what He was about to do to be in the public domain. The selection of the three was a clear indication that something quite remarkable was going to happen. They were the three that He always chose at such times (compare Luke... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:22-56

Luke 8:22-Titus : . Wonder Stories: the tempest, the demoniac and the swine, Jairus’ daughter, and the woman with hemorrhage ( Mark 4:35 to Mark 5:43 *, Matthew 8:23-Nahum : *, Matthew 9:18-Ezekiel : *).— Lk. follows Mk. with slight changes, e.g. the storm is not definitely an evening one; the demons ask that they should not be sent into the abyss ( i.e. Tartarus, the prison-house of evil spirits, Revelation 20:1-Leviticus :); Jairus’ daughter is an only child, cf. Luke 7:12, Luke 9:38. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 8:41-56

We had both these pieces of history twice before related, by Matthew, Matthew 9:18-26, and by Mark, Mark 5:22-43, with some further circumstances. See Poole on "Matthew 9:18", and following verses to Matthew 9:26 also See Poole on "Mark 5:22", and following verses to Mark 5:43. Christ’s saying, Luke 8:45, Who touched me? and again, Luke 8:46, Somebody hath touched me; for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me; doth not argue that Christ knew not of the woman’s coming and touching him, or did... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 8:49-56

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 8:40. Returned.—I.e. to Capernaum. Gladly received Him.—The word “gladly” is inserted by the translators, but it is implied in the phrase in the original: “welcomed Him” (R.V.).Luke 8:41. Jairus.—In Hebrew, Jair (Judges 10:3). Ruler of the synagogue.—The affairs of the synagogue were ruled by a college of elders, one of whom was president or “ruler.” It is interesting to see that faith in Jesus was not altogether wanting among the official class in Galilee. Come into his... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 8:1-56

Chapter 8And it came to pass afterward, as he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and twelve were with him, and certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene ( Luke 8:1-2 ),She was from Magdala, and because there were many Mary's, she was identified as Mary of Magdala, or Mary Magdalen. Jesus was called Jesus of Nazareth because there were many people by that name also. And so to... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 8:1-56

Luke 8:2 . Mary, called Magdalene. Origen reckons three women who anointed the Saviour. The first, in the house of Simon the pharisee. Luke 7:37. The second, the woman who anointed him six days before the passover. Mark 14:8. The third, the sister of Lazarus, who anointed him in the house of Simon the leper, Matthew 26:6-7. Chrysostom regards the two last as the same person. Out of whom went seven devils. Some of the ancient fathers of the church understand this of the vices to which she... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 8:49-56

Luke 8:49-56Thy daughter is dead--Christian consolation under bereavement by deathNow the great grounds of Christian comfort in times of bereavement are two.One relates to those you have lost; the other relates to yourselves. The first is, that those who have died in Christ have made a blessed and happy change in leaving this world for that where they are now. And the second is, that if you and they be both united to Christ, you have the confident assurance that you shall meet again. And,... read more
