luke 8:40 And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

< Luke 8:39
Luke 8:41 >

      Lu 8:40-56. JAIRUS' DAUGHTER RAISED AND ISSUE OF BLOOD HEALED.

      (See on Mt 9:18-26; and Mr 5:21-43).

      40. gladly received him, for . . . all waiting for him--The abundant teaching of that day (in Mt 13:1-58; and see Mr 4:36), had only whetted the people's appetite; and disappointed, as would seem, that He had left them in the evening to cross the lake, they remain hanging about the beach, having got a hint, probably through some of His disciples, that He would be back the same evening. Perhaps they witnessed at a distance the sudden calming of the tempest. Here at least they are, watching for His return, and welcoming Him to the shore. The tide of His popularity was now fast rising.
