Luke 8:25 BSB

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 8:22-25

(22) Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. (23) But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. (24) And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish, Then he arose, and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 8:25

After Christ had appeased the storm at sea, the disciples, all astonishment at the miracle, began to whisper to each other, saying, Who is this? not that the disciples were ignorant of whom they were speaking, but they wondered at his mighty works, and at the glory of his divine power. (St. Ambrose) 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

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 8:16-25

Hearing; Doing; Believing Luke 8:16-25 Inconsistency, unkindly words and acts, disobedience to our known duty will prevent our light from shining. If Christ has illumined your wick, see that you trust Him to find for you your stand, from which you may emit the clearest rays. You are lighted to shine! The closest relationship to Jesus is not that of nature but of grace. To listen in your heart to God’s voice, to hear it in His Word and in Providence and then to do as it decrees, will bring... read more
