The Ministering Women (8:1-3)The Ministering Women (8:1-3) The presence of these women explains the

manner of our Lord’s livelihood.

Comments about Mary (Marshall pg22)

1. Woman whom our Lord had cast out seven devils. Probably a wealthy woman (8:2).

2. At tomb, early on the resurrection AM (24:10).

3. Near the cross at the crucifixion (Mt 27:56).

4. At the burial with Mary, Clopas’ wife (Mt 27:61).

5. Jesus appeared to her first after His resurrection (Mt 28:9; Jn 20:14-18).

6. Likely the woman who was the sinner at the house of Simon, the Pharisee (Lk 7:37).

Parable of the Sower (8:4-21)Parable of the Sower (8:4-21)

Parable – an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. Hidden from others but revealed to the disciples (8:10-10)Seed – word of GodBirds – devilThorns – cares, riches and pleasuresGood soil – an honest and good heartSimilar to talents & pounds (11:11-27)

Parable of the Sower (8:4-21)Parable of the Sower (8:4-21)Disciples are to use this newly learnt wisdom as a lamp to give light to others.Expectations from the disciples.

Similar to the parable of the Talents & Pounds (11:11-27)

Note: His mother and brothers came for Him (8:19-21).

Sea of Galilee (8:22)Sea of Galilee (8:22)

The Storm (8:22-25)The Storm (8:22-25) Note the account. Another miracle over nature – draught of

the fish (5:1-11) Waves stilled AND Wind stilled

Shown two-fold character of Jesus

1. His humanity – weary and sleeping

2. His divinity – in stilling the storm

The Gerasene Demoniac (8:26-56)The Gerasene Demoniac (8:26-56) Note the incident well. Quite a distance they traveled (see map)

He bears witness to our Lord’s divinity. Other instance – Demoniac in the

synagogue (4:33-44) Reaction of the people Gerasenes

1. Loss of their herds affected more than the healing of the demoniac.

2. Not bothered with the spiritual blessings. The demoniac is to be a preacher!

Jairus’ Daughter (8:40-56)Jairus’ Daughter (8:40-56)

His ONLY daughter cf Nain-ONLY son (7:11-17), Lazarus – ONLY brother .

He touched the dead body (see notes on 7:11-17)

He used the word “sleep” to show He can wake her up.

Woman with issue of blood Woman with issue of blood (8:40-56)(8:40-56)

Some thoughts about this woman… Lk8dc.flv

Woman with issue of blood Woman with issue of blood (8:40-56)(8:40-56)

She is ceremonially unclean by her disease. Affected a holy Rabbi.

Many pressed Him only one with the touch of faith!

Note Jesus has the power to heal. He has compassion on this poor, ill and companionless woman.

A thought – Why He chose not to just kept quiet about this healing?
