Context of Luke 8:36

34When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and told it in the city and out in the country. 35And people came out to see what had happened.

Those who had seen it told them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed. 37Then all the people of the country of the Gerasenes and the surrounding district asked Him to leave them, because they were overwhelmed with fear.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 22-40Verses 22-40 Those that put to sea in a calm, even at Christ's word, must yet prepare for a storm, and for great peril in that storm. There is no relief for souls under a sense of guilt, and fear of wrath, but to go to Christ, and call him Master, and say, I am undone, if thou dost not help me.
