Commentary
Luke 8 is a chapter that speaks to the power of Jesus' ministry and the impact it had on those around him. In this chapter, we see Jesus healing a woman who had been suffering from a bleeding disorder for twelve years, calming a storm at sea, and casting out a legion of demons from a man. These miracles demonstrate the power of Jesus' ministry and the authority he had over the physical and spiritual realms.
