Luke 8:25 BSB

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 8:1-56

Luke here refers to our Lord's journeyings, and reveals the interesting and beautiful fact of how women of wealth provided for him on the material level, ministering to Him of their substance. At this point Luke records the parable of the sower, which forever divides into four sections those who hear the proclamation of the Word: first, those in whom His truth can produce no results, wayside hearers; second, those whose power of hearing is superficial, rock hearers; third, those in whom other... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 8:25

FAITH AND ITS EVIDENCES‘Where is your faith?’ Luke 8:25 Faith is not a mere sluggish acceptance, a mere condescending acquiescence, a mere dead passivity; it is not even a mere abstract conviction. Faith, in the Christian sense, in the sense wherein each one of us ought to say ‘I believe,’ is a possessing principle, an irresistible enthusiasm.Men in myriads say that they believe in God. When men are sincere in the belief, it is easy to show it. Such faith is not dead or nugatory, but... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:19-56

3). Jesus is Revealed As The Messiah Who Has Come With Power (8:19-9:36). In this third part of Section 3 Jesus is Revealed as the glorious Messiah Who has come with power but will be involved in suffering and death (Luke 8:19 to Luke 9:36). It may be analysed as follows: a He no longer owns responsibility to His own family who do not believe in Him, and are on the outside (His own do not recognise Him) (Luke 8:19-21). b He is revealed as the One Who is from above by quelling the storm,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:22-25

Jesus Is Revealed As Lord of Wind and Waves (8:22-25). We first come to three incidents which reveal the folly of His mother and brothers. Each reveals His compassionate power as in His manhood He is revealed as Lord of Creation. In the first He stills the storm and there is a calm. In the second He removes the evil spirits that are causing a storm in the demoniac, so that he ends up seated calmly at the feet of Jesus. And in the third He quietens the storm in the father’s heart over his dead... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:25

‘And he said to them, “Where is your faith?” And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?” ’ Jesus then turned to His disciples and asked, “Where is your faith?” Now under all normal circumstances that would be an unreasonable question. No man has a right to expect that God will protect him in all circumstances. It only becomes reasonable if we see that He is indicating that they should have known... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 8:22-56

Luke 8:22-Titus : . Wonder Stories: the tempest, the demoniac and the swine, Jairus’ daughter, and the woman with hemorrhage ( Mark 4:35 to Mark 5:43 *, Matthew 8:23-Nahum : *, Matthew 9:18-Ezekiel : *).— Lk. follows Mk. with slight changes, e.g. the storm is not definitely an evening one; the demons ask that they should not be sent into the abyss ( i.e. Tartarus, the prison-house of evil spirits, Revelation 20:1-Leviticus :); Jairus’ daughter is an only child, cf. Luke 7:12, Luke 9:38. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 8:22-25

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 8:22. The other side.—The eastern side, which was comparatively uninhabited.Luke 8:23. Fell asleep.—A pathetic touch, indicating as it does how wearied He was with the labours of the day. Came down.—From the hillsides. Recent travellers speak of these sudden and impetuous storms as characteristic of the Lake of Gennesaret. Thus Mr. Macgregor says: “The peculiar effects of squalls among mountains are well known to all who have boated much on lakes; but on the Sea of Galilee... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 8:25

Luke 8:25 The question before us has in it a wild sublimity. The waves had just found their resting-place; the wind was gone back into its treasure-house; and our Saviour stood upon the calm, and seemed to say, "The fierce enemies have been and gone, but where is your faith?" I. Everybody has faith. To have a trust in something is so natural, that I could almost say it is indispensable to human nature. There are faculties and principles of the human heart which must cling. Every man, however... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 8:1-56

Chapter 8And it came to pass afterward, as he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and twelve were with him, and certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene ( Luke 8:1-2 ),She was from Magdala, and because there were many Mary's, she was identified as Mary of Magdala, or Mary Magdalen. Jesus was called Jesus of Nazareth because there were many people by that name also. And so to... read more
