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.

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 Jesus1. His humanity – weary and sleeping2. 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 Gerasenes1. 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?
