Luke 8:34-39

Geneva Study Bible - Luke 8:39

8:39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published {l} throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.(l) That is, the city of the Gadarenes: and though Mark says that he preached it in Decapolis, these accounts do not differ, for Pliny records in lib. 5, chap. 18, that Gadara is a town of Decapolis: so that Decapolis was partly on this side of Jordan, and partly on the other side. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:1-56

WOMEN PROVIDING FOR THE LORD JESUS (vs.1-3) The grace of the heart of the Lord Jesus must be made known through all the country, though not yet in its fullness, nor as resulting from the value of the sacrifice of Calvary. The Lord did not therefore preach "the gospel of the grace of God" as did Paul later (Acts 20:24), but preached "the glad tidings of the kingdom of God." The kingdom emphasizes authority rather than grace, yet grace was by no means lacking, as seen in Luke 4:17-22. In fact,... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 8:1-56

HIS FAME SPREADING THE CENTURION’S SE RV ANT (Luke 7:1-10 ) Matthew describes the centurion as personally entreating our Lord (Matthew 8:5-13 ), but Luke tells how he first approached him through the Jewish elders and then through other friends. THE WIDOW OF NAIN (Luke 7:11-17 ) THE WIDOW OF NAIN (Luke 7:11-17 ) is a story original with Luke. Note that no appeal was made to our Lord in this case, but that His compassion was awakened by the sight itself. This was probably the first... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 8:1-56

Christ's Sustenance Accounted for Luke 8:0 We have wondered how Jesus Christ subsisted. The explanation would seem to be given here. There are with him not only the twelve, but also "certain women," some of whose names are given, "which ministered unto him of their substance." We are not wholly unfamiliar with that species of action; we have read in the ancient books of a woman who "said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth "by us continually.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 8:26-39

(26) And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. (27) And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs: (28) When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee torment me not. (29) (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:22-40

22-40 Those that put to sea in a calm, even at Christ's word, must yet prepare for a storm, and for great peril in that storm. There is no relief for souls under a sense of guilt, and fear of wrath, but to go to Christ, and call him Master, and say, I am undone, if thou dost not help me. When our dangers are over, it becomes us to take to ourselves the shame of our own fears, and to give Christ the glory of our deliverance. We may learn much out of this history concerning the world of infernal,... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 8:1-99

Luke 8 THE OPENING VERSES show the thorough and systematic way in which the Lord Jesus evangelized the cities and villages. He announced the kingdom of God, which involves God’s authority being established and man’s salvation secured through judgment. It was too early as yet for the Gospel of 1Co 15.1-15.4 to be preached, though, now that we have that Gospel, we can still preach the kingdom of God in its present form. The twelve were with Him, and being trained under His eye. The other Gospels... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 8:34-39

The consequences: v. 34. When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. v. 35. Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the devils were departed sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid. v. 36. They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. v. 37. Then the whole multitude of the country of... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 8:26-39

“Great Things” for One in Great Need Luke 8:26-39 The victim. In referring to but one demoniac the evangelist would probably concentrate attention on the more prominent of the two mentioned by Matthew. There must have been some collusion between the elements of the storm and the demons in this man. Everything seemed to oppose the Lord’s assertion of His right to be obeyed. If demons could possess a man with such power, what might not Christ do if we yielded ourselves absolutely to Him!... read more
