This phrase indicates a reaction from the local population to the events that had transpired. The context is the healing of the demon-possessed man in the region of the Gerasenes. The people’s curiosity and concern reflect a common human response to extraordinary events. In biblical times, news of miraculous occurrences would spread quickly, prompting people to investigate. This mirrors other instances in the Gospels where crowds gather to witness Jesus' works, such as in <a href="/john/6-2.htm">John 6:2</a>, where a large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He performed on the sick.They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, This part of the verse highlights the transformation of the demon-possessed man. Previously, he was uncontrollable and lived among the tombs, as described earlier in <a href="/luke/8-27.htm">Luke 8:27</a>. The phrase "whom the demons had left" signifies the complete deliverance and authority of Jesus over demonic forces. This is consistent with other Gospel accounts, such as <a href="/mark/1-34.htm">Mark 1:34</a>, where Jesus casts out many demons, demonstrating His power over the spiritual realm.sitting at Jesus’ feet, The posture of sitting at Jesus' feet is significant. It indicates a position of learning and discipleship, as seen in <a href="/luke/10-39.htm">Luke 10:39</a>, where Mary sits at Jesus' feet to listen to His teaching. This transformation from a state of chaos to one of peace and learning underscores the restorative power of Jesus. It also reflects a cultural practice where disciples would sit at the feet of their rabbi to receive instruction.clothed and in his right mind; The description of the man as "clothed and in his right mind" contrasts sharply with his previous state of nakedness and madness (<a href="/luke/8-27.htm">Luke 8:27</a>). Clothing in the Bible often symbolizes dignity and restoration, as seen in the parable of the prodigal son (<a href="/luke/15-22.htm">Luke 15:22</a>). The phrase "in his right mind" indicates a return to mental and spiritual wholeness, a testament to the comprehensive nature of Jesus' healing.and they were afraid. The reaction of fear from the people can be understood in several ways. It may reflect awe and reverence for the power of Jesus, similar to the disciples' fear after Jesus calms the storm in <a href="/mark/4-41.htm">Mark 4:41</a>. It could also indicate a fear of the unknown or a disruption of the status quo, as the presence of divine power often challenges human understanding and control. This fear is a common response to the divine encounters throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/exodus/20-18.htm">Exodus 20:18-19</a>, where the Israelites fear the presence of God on Mount Sinai.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> Central figure in the account, the one who performed the miracle of casting out demons. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_demon-possessed_man.htm">The Demon-Possessed Man</a> Previously tormented by demons, now healed and transformed by Jesus. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_people.htm">The People</a> The local inhabitants who witnessed the aftermath of the miracle and reacted with fear. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_region_of_the_gerasenes.htm">The Region of the Gerasenes</a> The geographical setting where the event took place, a Gentile region across the Sea of Galilee. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_demons.htm">The Demons</a> Spiritual entities that had possessed the man, now expelled by Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/transformation_through_christ.htm">Transformation through Christ</a> The man’s transformation from a state of torment to peace illustrates the power of Jesus to change lives completely. <a href="/topical/a/authority_of_jesus.htm">Authority of Jesus</a> Jesus’ authority over demons demonstrates His divine power and sovereignty over all spiritual realms. <a href="/topical/f/fear_of_the_unknown.htm">Fear of the Unknown</a> The people's fear upon witnessing the miracle reflects a common human reaction to the unknown or supernatural. <a href="/topical/s/sitting_at_jesus'_feet.htm">Sitting at Jesus’ Feet</a> The posture of the healed man, sitting at Jesus’ feet, symbolizes submission, discipleship, and a desire to learn from the Master. <a href="/topical/w/witnessing_to_others.htm">Witnessing to Others</a> The man’s transformation serves as a testimony to others about the power and mercy of Jesus, encouraging believers to share their own accounts of transformation.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_luke_8.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Luke 8</a> <a href="/q/should_you_not_resist_an_evil_person.htm">What did Jesus mean by 'Do Not Fear, Only Believe'?</a> <a href="/q/should_you_separate_yourself_from_them.htm">What miracles did Jesus perform according to the Bible?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_legion's_story_in_the_bible.htm">What is Legion's story in the Bible?</a> <a href="/q/why_do_exorcisms_mimic_psychiatric_issues.htm">Why do exorcisms resemble psychiatric conditions rather than supernatural events?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/luke/8.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(35) Sitting at the feet of Jesus.--This feature is peculiar to St. Luke's narrative.

The swineherds told their story, quickly the news spread; a great concourse from all the country-side soon gathered round the scene of the catastrophe. It was quiet then; the waters of the lake had closed over the tormented creatures, The demoniac, so long the terror of the neighbourhood, now sane, clothed, too, like one of them, was sitting peacefully full of deep, aweful gratitude at the Master's feet; the disciples were standing round; Jesus was no doubt teaching them the deep im - port of the scene they had lately witnessed. <a href="/commentaries/luke/8-35.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>[So] δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. [the people] went out ἐξῆλθον (exēlthon) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_1831.htm">Strong's 1831: </a> To go out, come out.
