“Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
Everyone denied it, and Peter said,
“Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you.”
But Jesus said,
“Someone deliberately touched me,
for I felt healing power go out from me.”
Luke 8:45-46
…all the people in the region of the Gerasenes
begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone,
for a great wave of fear swept over them.
So Jesus returned to the boat and left,
crossing back to the other side of the lake.
…
On the other side of the lake
the crowd welcomed Jesus,
because they had been waiting for him.
Luke 8:37,40

I will show you what it’s like
when someone comes to me,
listens to my teaching,
and then follows it.
It is like a person building a house
who digs deep
and lays the foundation on solid rock.
When the floodwaters rise
and break against the house,
it stands firm because it is well built.
Luke 6:47-48
