Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:18-34

Jesus Is Revealed As Lord Over Nature, Lord Over The Spirit World, and Lord Over Sin and Forgiveness (8:18-9:9). This subsection from Matthew 8:18 to Matthew 9:9 can be seen as united around a series of travel descriptions deliberately used in order to unite them together: a It commences with Jesus command to go to the other side (Matthew 8:18) b That is followed by their entering into a boat and setting sail (Matthew 8:23). c They arrive at the other side (Matthew 8:28). b They cross... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:28

‘And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, extremely fierce, so that no man could pass by that way.’ When they landed on the shore of the country of the Gadarenes they were met by two wild and fierce demoniacs who ran to meet them out of the tombs, which were in caves in the rocks. Matthew tells us that they were possessed with demons. It would seem that Matthew wants us to know that Jesus... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:28-34

The Two Demoniacs of Decapolis (8:28-34). Having experienced their amazing deliverance the disciples were no doubt pleased to reach a safe haven. Little did they realise that they were going to see even greater things than this. They had learned the lesson that as Jesus’ disciples they did not need to fear the storms and the seas, because He would watch over them, but now they would be faced with an even greater foe, and would see Jesus’ power exercised over him and his minions. It would... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:28-34

Matthew 8:28-Nahum : . The Gerasene Demoniacs ( Mark 5:1-Proverbs : *, Luke 8:26-Malachi :)— Mt. is considerably shorter than Mk.; note his summary of Mark 5:3-Deuteronomy : and omission of Mark 5:8-2 Samuel :, Mark 5:18-Proverbs :. He frequently omits questions put by Jesus. His statement that there were two maniacs may be compensation for the previous omission ( Matthew 8:1-Numbers : *), but perhaps Mk. and Lk. are thinking of the more important of the two. According to Dalman, “ Son of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 8:28

This history is related by Mark 5:1, &c. and by Luke 8:26, &c., more largely than by Matthew. The other two evangelists report it to be done in the country of the Gadarenes; Matthew, in the country of the Gergesenes; they were the same people, sometimes denominated from one great city in their territories, sometimes from another: whoso readeth the story in all three evangelists will easily conclude it the same, though related with different circumstances. Matthew saith there were two of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 8:28-34

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 8:28. Gergesenes.—The readings vary between Gerasenes, Gadarenes, and Gergesenes (Carr). Modern research claims to have ascertained the exact locality of the transaction. The ruins right opposite the plain of Gennesaret, from which they had sailed, bear still the name of Kersa or Gersa. About a quarter of an hour to the south of Gersa is a steep bluff, which descends abruptly on a narrow ledge of shore. The whole neighbourhood abounds in limestone caverns and rock... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:28

Matthew 8:28 Jesus and the Possessed. I. Jesus was met with two possessed with devils. There is an evil and a good which we know to be not of ourselves. There is a devil and there is an angel to every man's life, a tempter and a saviour, and he is now as he has yielded to the one or welcomed the other. Man must be passive before he can become positive, must take before he can give, and must have his becoming before he can have his being either for good or for bad. He is tempted before he sins,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:28-34

Matthew 8:28-34 I. Consider the casting out of the devils. (1) The Gospel narratives are distinctly pledged to the historic truth of these occurrences. Either they are true or the Gospels are false. (2) Nor can it be said that they represent the opinion of the time, and use words in accordance with it. This might have been difficult to answer, but that they not only give such expressions as "possessed with devils," and other like ones, but relate to us words spoken by the Lord Jesus, in which... read more
