Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 8:26-39

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 8:26. Country of the Gadarenes.—Rather, “of the Gerasenes” (R.V.).

The reading “Gerasenes” was formerly... read more

Luke 8:38-39Return to thine own houseThe blessedness of active serviceThe words of this refusal seem to suggest to us its cause; for instead of staying with Him, our Lord bade the lately possessed man go home to his friends, and tell them the great things which God had done for him.And in giving him this charge He did two things. 1. He thus in mercy provided that they who in their blindness had besought Him to leave them, and who would not, like the dwellers in Judea, have other opportunities... read more
