Lucas 8:2 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:2

And certain women which had been healed of evil spirits,
&c.] Of devils, who had possessed them, and were healed by Christ, dispossessing them; (See Gill on Luke 7:21).

and infirmities:
various diseases of body: some were dispossessed of devils, and others freed from bodily disorders; of the first sort was

Mary Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils:
by the order of Christ, for he cast them out, ( Mark 16:9 ) and which shows, that this is to be understood, in a literal sense, of devils, and the dispossession of them by Christ; and not in a figurative sense, of vices, and the expulsion of them by the power of divine grace; for this same phrase is used where real dispossessions are intended: nor need it be thought strange that seven devils should be in one person, when, in this same chapter, we read of a legion in one man, and which also Christ cast out, ( Luke 8:30 Luke 8:33 Luke 8:35 ) . This woman seems to be a different person from her spoken of in the latter part of the preceding chapter, seeing this looks as if it was the first time of her being taken notice of by this evangelist, and is described by a different character. She is called "Magdalene", to distinguish her from others of the same name; the reason of which (See Gill on Matthew 27:56). She is said ^F4 to be a widow, and so not being bound to an husband, was at leisure to follow Christ.

1 Las mujeres que seguían a Jesús
Poco después, Jesús comenzó un recorrido por las ciudades y aldeas cercanas, predicando y anunciando la Buena Noticia acerca del reino de Dios. Llevó consigo a sus doce discípulos,

2 junto con algunas mujeres que habían sido sanadas de espíritus malignos y enfermedades. Entre ellas estaban María Magdalena, de quien él había expulsado siete demonios;

3 Juana, la esposa de Chuza, administrador de Herodes; Susana; y muchas otras que contribuían con sus propios recursos al sostén de Jesús y sus discípulos.

4 Parábola del sembrador
Cierto día, Jesús contó una historia en forma de parábola a una gran multitud, proveniente de varias ciudades, que se había reunido para escucharlo:

5 «Un agricultor salió a sembrar. A medida que esparcía las semillas por el campo, algunas cayeron sobre el camino, donde las pisotearon y los pájaros se las comieron.
