Context of Luke 8:40

38Now the man out of whom the demons had departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39Return to thy own house, and show what great things God hath done to thee. And he went away, and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done to him. And it came to pass, that, when Jesus had returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. 41And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him that he would come into his house: 42For he had one daughter only, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he was going the people thronged him.

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. When our dangers are over, it becomes us to take to ourselves the shame of our own fears, and to give Christ the glory of our deliverance. We may learn much out of…Read the comment

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 4040. gladly received him, for ... all waiting for him--The abundant teaching of that day (in Mt 13:1-58; and see Mr 4:36), had only whetted the people's appetite; and disappointed, as would seem, that He had left them in the evening to cross the lake, they remain hanging about the beach, having got a hint, probably through some of His disciples, that He would be back the same evening.
