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.
