Luke 8:26 KJV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 8:26-39

Luke 8:26-39. See the contents of these verses explained at large, on Matthew 8:28-34; and Mark 5:1-17. I beseech thee, torment me not Let me continue where I am, and do not, before my time, cast me into the place of torments. For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man Being moved with pity at the sight of such a miserable spectacle; for oftentimes it had caught him Therefore our compassionate Lord had made the more haste to cast it out. That he would not command... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 8:26-39

58. Demon power overcome at Gadara (Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39)Another place that Jesus visited was the district to the east and south of the Lake of Galilee known as Gadara. The people were mainly Gentiles and were known as Gadarenes (sometimes as Gerasenes, after the chief town of the district, or even Gergesenes, after another local town) (Matthew 8:28; Mark 5:1). Jesus was met there by a man whose body had been cruelly taken over by demons. To release the man from his... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 8:26

And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.THE GERASENE DEMONIACIt is merely a pseudocon that Luke has "Gerasenes," whereas Matthew has "Gadarenes." One author referred to the whole district, of which the city of Gadar was dominant; and the other referred to Gerasa, the more particular location. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 8:26-27

Luke 8:26-27. And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes,— Though we have given, in the notes on St. Matthew, an explanation of the principal circumstances of this remarkable miracle; yet, as it contains so full and satisfactory an account of real possession, and demoniacal agency, I cannot refuse my reader the extracts following from Dr. Ward's Dissertation on the subject, as they not only concur with, but strongly confirm the opinions which I have advanced in the notes onSt. Matthew.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 8:22-56

F. Jesus’ mighty works 8:22-56This section is quite similar to Mark’s account. Luke chose miracles that demonstrated Jesus’ power over nature, demons, and illness and death to show Jesus’ authority as the divine Savior. Again he stressed the powerful word of Jesus. These miracles also revealed Jesus’ compassion and willingness to save people in need. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 8:26-29

Mark and Luke called this area the country of the Gerasenes, but Matthew called it the country of the Gadarenes. Gergesa (also referred to as Gersa, Kersa, and Kursi) was a small village about midway on the eastern shore of the lake. Gadara, one of the Decapolis cities, was a larger town six miles southeast of the lake’s southern end. [Note: Jack Finegan, The Archaeology of the New Testament, p. 62.] This incident apparently happened somewhere near both towns on the southeast coast of the lake.... read more

2. The deliverance of a demoniac in Gadara 8:26-39 (cf. Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20)The raging of this demoniac was even worse than the raging of the waters of Galilee (cf. Psalms 65:7). Demonic power was evident in the Hellenistic world of Luke’s original readers. The fact that this incident happened in predominantly Gentile territory suggests that Luke may have seen in it a preview of the church’s ministry to Gentiles (cf. Acts 26:18). In his account of this incident Luke stressed the saving... read more
