What Does Luke 8:40 Mean?
Back across the water, the welcome is the opposite of the farewell: the crowd gladly receives Jesus, for they were all waiting for Him.
Two shores, two verdicts; one begs Him to go, the other watches the horizon for His sail. Among the waiting crowd stand a desperate father and an exhausted woman, whose stories are about to intertwine. Those who wait for Him, Luke implies, do not wait in vain.
