³⁵So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.³⁶Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

Summary

Luke 8:36 recounts the miraculous healing of a demon-possessed man by Jesus. The man was restored to his right mind, sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed, and in his right mind. This powerful display of Jesus' authority over evil spirits demonstrates His ability to bring about complete transformation and deliverance in the lives of those who are oppressed. The man's response to this miraculous healing serves as a testimony to the transformative power of encountering Jesus, inspiring others to witness and share about the great things God has done.

John Gill Bible Commentary

Then the whole multitude,.... For it seems, a very large number of people were presently gathered together, from all parts of the country, upon the report of the swine herds, who fled, it is very likely, some one way, and some another: of the country of the Gadarenes round about; of the country that was round about Gadara. The Vulgate Latin reads, "of the Gergesenes"; and the Arabic and Ethiopic versions, "of the Gergesenes": and they all, with one accord, besought him to depart from them, for they were taken with great fear: lest they should suffer other and greater losses, than the loss of the swine; choosing rather that the devils should be retained among them, than Christ continue with them: and he went up into the ship; directly, granted their request at once; not desirous of staying with such an ungrateful people, that loved their swine more than him, yea, than the bodily health and welfare of their countrymen: and he returned back again; to Galilee, at least in a very little time, after some short discourse with the dispossessed man; having staid but a very small time in that place, just landed as it were, and not having proceeded far from the seashore.
