Contextual Overview

1 And when he had come down from the mountain, great numbers of people came after him. 2 And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean. 3 And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean. 4 And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When he was come down from the mountain,.... Into which he went up, and preached the sermon recorded in the "three" preceding chapters:

great multitudes followed him: which is mentioned, partly to shew, that the people which came from several parts, still continued with him, being affected with his discourses and miracles; and partly on account of the following miracle, of healing the leper, which was not done in a corner, but before great multitudes, who were witnesses of it: though some think this miracle was wrought more privately.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

When he was come down from the mountain - That is, immediately on his descending from the mountain. His discourse had attracted great attention, and the fame of it drew together great multitudes, who were convinced that he had come from God. Then follows, in this chapter and the chapter succeeding, a succession of “miracles” not less remarkable than his teaching was; miracles that tended to confirm beyond a doubt the impression made by his sermon that he was sent from God.

Great multitudes followed him - Great numbers of those who had been with him in the mountain, and great numbers of others who were attracted by the fame of that discourse.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VIII.

Great multitudes follow Christ, 1.

He heals a leper, 2-4.

Heals the centurion's servant, 5-13.

Heals Peter's wife's mother, 14, 15;

and several other diseased persons, 16, 17.

Departs from that place, 18.

Two persons offer to be his disciples, 19-22.

He and his disciples are overtaken with a tempest, which he

miraculously stills, 23-27.

He cures demoniacs, and the demons which went out enter into

a herd of swine, which, rushing into the sea, perish, 28-32.

The swine-herds announce the miracle to the Gergesenes, who

request Christ to depart from their country, 33, 34.

NOTES ON CHAP. VIII.

Verse Matthew 8:1. From the mountain — That mountain on which he had delivered the preceding inimitable sermon.
