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 Et l'homme duquel les démons étaient sortis, le priait de lui permettre d'être avec lui; mais Jésus le renvoya, en disant:

39 Retourne dans ta maison, et raconte les grandes choses que Dieu t'a faites. Il s'en alla donc, publiant par toute la ville tout ce que Jésus avait fait en sa faveur.

40 Quand Jésus fut de retour, il fut reçu par une grande multitude; car tous l'attendaient.

41 Et voici un homme nommé Jaïrus, qui était chef de la synagogue, vint, et se jetant aux pieds de Jésus, le pria de venir dans sa maison;

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