Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
Christ was driven away by the Gadarenes; they were weary of him, and willing to be rid of him. But when he had crossed the water, and returned to the Galileans, they gladly received him, wished and waited for his return, and welcomed him with all their hearts when he did return, Luk 8:40. If some will not accept the favours Christ offers them, others will.
Commenting on Luke 8:40-56
And behold, there came a man named Jairus,.... See Gill on Mar 5:22. and he was a ruler of the synagogue; at Capernaum; and it was the more remarkable, that such an one should come to Christ, and express any regard to his person, or faith in his power, and therefore a "behold" is prefixed to this account; See Gill on Mat 9:18.
Verses 40-56. See this passage explained in the Notes on Mt 9:18-26 and Mr 5:21-43. , and Mt 9:19-26 , and Mr 5:22-43 Verse 40.
