48 And G1161 he said G2036 unto her, G846 Daughter, G2364 be of good comfort: G2293 thy G4675 faith G4102 hath made G4982 thee G4571 whole; G4982 go G4198 in G1519 peace. G1515
But G1161 Jesus G2424 turned him about, G1994 and G2532 when he saw G1492 her, G846 he said, G2036 Daughter, G2364 be of good comfort; G2293 thy G4675 faith G4102 hath made G4982 thee G4571 whole. G4982 And G2532 the woman G1135 was made whole G4982 from G575 that G1565 hour. G5610
And Moses H4872 went H3212 and returned H7725 to Jethro H3500 his father in law, H2859 and said H559 unto him, Let me go, H3212 I pray thee, and return H7725 unto my brethren H251 which are in Egypt, H4714 and see H7200 whether they be yet H5750 alive. H2416 And Jethro H3503 said H559 to Moses, H4872 Go H3212 in peace. H7965
And G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto the centurion, G1543 Go thy way; G5217 and G2532 as G5613 thou hast believed, G4100 so be it done G1096 unto thee. G4671 And G2532 his G846 servant G3816 was healed G2390 in G1722 the selfsame G1565 hour. G5610
And, G2532 behold, G2400 they brought G4374 to him G846 a man sick of the palsy, G3885 lying G906 on G1909 a bed: G2825 and G2532 Jesus G2424 seeing G1492 their G846 faith G4102 said G2036 unto the sick of the palsy; G3885 Son, G5043 be of good cheer; G2293 thy G4675 sins G266 be forgiven G863 thee.

Commentary on Luke 8 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 8
Most of this chapter is a repetition of divers passages of Christ's preaching and miracles which we had before in Matthew and Mark; they are all of such weight, that they are worth repeating, and therefore they are repeated, that out of the mouth not only of two, but of three, witnesses every word may be established. Here is,
Luk 8:1-3
We are here told,
Luk 8:4-21
The former paragraph began with an account of Christ's industry in preaching (v. 1); this begins with an account of the people's industry in hearing, v. 4. He went into every city, to preach; so they, one would think, should have contented themselves to hear him when he came to their own city (we know those that would); but there were those here that came to him out of every city, would not stay till he came to them, nor think that they had enough when he left them, but met him when he was coming towards them, and followed him when he was going from them. Nor did he excuse himself from going to the cities with this, that there were some from the cities that came to him; for, though there were, yet the most had not zeal enough to bring them to him, and therefore such is his wonderful condescension that he will go to them; for he is found of those that sought him not, Isa. 65:1.
Here was, it seems, a vast concourse, much people were gathered together, abundance of fish to cast their net among; and he was as ready and willing to teach as they were to be taught. Now in these verses we have,
Now from the parable itself, and the explication of it, observe,
Luk 8:22-39
We have here two illustrious proofs of the power of our Lord Jesus which we had before-his power over the winds, and his power over the devils. See Mk. 4 and 5.
We may learn a great deal out of this story concerning this world of infernal, malignant spirits, which, though not working now ordinarily in the same way as here, yet we are all concerned at all times to stand upon our guard against.
Let us now see what was the effect of this miracle of casting the legion of devils out of this man.
Luk 8:40-56
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, v. 40. If some will not accept the favours Christ offers them, others will. If the Gadarenes be not gathered, yet there are many among whom Christ shall be glorious. When Christ had done his work on the other side of the water he returned, and found work to do in the place whence he came, fresh work. They that will lay out themselves to do good shall never want occasion for it. The needy you have always with you.
We have here two miracles interwoven, as they were in Matthew and Mark-the raising of Jairus's daughter to life, and the cure of the woman that had an issue of blood, as he was going in a crowd to Jairus's house. We have here,
