Luc 8:40 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:40

And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned
From the country of the Gadarenes, to the other side of the sea of Tiberias, to Galilee; and particularly to his own city, Capernaum; ( Matthew 9:1 ) .

The people gladly received him;
who were of a different cast from those he had just left; being sensible of the benefits they received from him, both by his ministry and miracles; and which was the reason of their receiving him with so much joy and gladness:

for they were all waiting for him;
on the shore, looking out very eagerly for him, being earnestly desirous of his speedy return to them; having many that wanted his assistance, both for their souls and bodies, of which the following are instances.

Luc 8:40 In-Context

38 L'homme de qui étaient sortis les démons lui demandait la permission de rester avec lui. Mais Jésus le renvoya, en disant:

39 Retourne dans ta maison, et raconte tout ce que Dieu t'a fait. Il s'en alla, et publia par toute la ville tout ce que Jésus avait fait pour lui.

40 A son retour, Jésus fut reçu par la foule, car tous l'attendaient.

41 Et voici, il vint un homme, nommé Jaïrus, qui était chef de la synagogue. Il se jeta à ses pieds, et le supplia d'entrer dans sa maison,

42 parce qu'il avait une fille unique d'environ douze ans qui se mourait. Pendant que Jésus y allait, il était pressé par la foule.
