CHAP. VIII.
3 Women minister vnto Christ of their substance 4 Christ after he had preached from place to place, attended with his Apostles, propoundeth the parable of the sower, 16 and of the candle: 21 declareth who are his mother, and brethren: 22 rebuketh the winds: 26 casteth the Legion of deuils out of the man, into the heard of swine: 37 is reiected of the Gadarenes: 43 healeth the woman of her bloodie issue, 49 and raiseth frō death Iairus daughter
2And certaine women which had bene healed of euill spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene out of whom went seuen deuils,2
4¶ And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of euery citie, he spake by a parable:4
7And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprang vp with it, and choked it.
The parable of the seed, expounded.
9And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.11
16¶ No man when he hath lighted a candle, couereth it with a vessell, or putteth it vnder a bed: but setteth it on a candlesticke, that they which enter in, may see the light.16
17For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest: neither any thing hid, that shall not be knowen, and come abroad.17
18Take heede therefore how yee heare: for whosoeuer hath, to him shall bee giuen; and whosoeuer hath not, from him shall be taken, euen that which he seemeth to haue.18
19¶ Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the prease.19
22¶ Now it came to passe on a certaine day, that he went into a ship, with his disciples: and hee said vnto them, Let vs goe ouer vnto the other side of the lake, and they lanched foorth.22
26¶ And they arriued at the countrey of the Gadarenes, which is ouer against Galilee.26
31And they besought him, that he would not command them to goe out into the deepe.
Iairus daughter is restored to life.
36They also which saw it, told them by what meanes he that was possessed of the deuils, was healed.
41¶ And behold, there came a man named Iairus, and hee was a ruler of the Synagogue, and hee fell downe at Iesus feete, and besought him that hee would come into his house:41
44Came behinde him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediatly her issue of blood stanched.
46And Iesus saide, Some body hath touched mee: for I perceiue that vertue is gone out of me.
Iairus daughter is restored to life.
48And he said vnto her, Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole, goe in peace.)
52And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weepe not, she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53And they laughed him to scorne, knowing that she was dead.
54And hee put them all out, and tooke her by the hand, and called, saying, Mayd, arise.
55And her spirit came againe, and shee arose straightway: and hee commanded to giue her meat.
56And her parents were astonished: but hee charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

Lu 8:1 Speaking in Parables SUMMARY OF LUKE 8: Women Ministering to Christ. The Parable of the Sower. The Parable of a Candle Under a Bed. His Mother and Brethren. The Storm on the Sea. In the Country of the Gadarenes. The Devils and the Swine. The Daughter of Jairus Raised. The Woman with the Bloody Issue Healed. He went throughout every city and village. A thorough missionary tour of Galilee.
Lu 8:2 And certain women. That these women should attend the footsteps of Christ was opposed to the custom of Palestine. The admixture of the sexes was not common. The rabbis held that the law should not be taught to women. Mary called Magdalene. That is, of Magdala, a village near the Sea of Galilee. This is the first mention of her, and we know nothing more of her preceding history. We know that after this she was one of the most devoted friends of Christ. Seven devils. See PNT "Mt 8:29", on demoniac possession.
Lu 8:3 Joanna the wife of Chuza. Nothing more is known of her. As her husband held a very responsible position, she must have been a woman of wealth and influence. Herod. Herod Antipas. See PNT "Mt 2:1". Susanna. Not named elsewhere. Ministered unto him. Contributed to his support. They used their means to support Jesus and the apostles while preaching.

Lu 8:22-25 For notes on Stilling the Tempest, see Mt 8:23-27 Mr 4:35-41.
