And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 4:14 Returned. After the Temptation.

In the power of the Spirit. Full of Divine strength since his victory over Satan. To conquer evil always lifts to a higher power. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 4:15 Taught in their synagogues. For description of synagogues, see PNT Mt 4:23.
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 4:16 Went into the synagogue. The meetings were held every Sabbath in the synagogues, and Jesus was accustomed, and Jesus was accustomed to attend, as were all religious Jews. Compare with Mt 13:53-58 Mr 6:1-5. Critics differ whether this is an account of the same visit as that of Matthew 13, or a different one. It seems probable that there were two visits.
Stood up for to read. To indicate his readiness to read. It was allowed that any member of the synagogue might read the lesson, and this was the one in which he had been reared. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 4:17 The book of the prophet Isaiah. There were regular readings for each Sabbath, and that of this one was partly in Isaiah. The book was a roll of manuscript.
He found the place. A passage that refers to the Messiah. All will note how accurately it describes his work. Isa 61:1-3. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 4:20 Closed the book. Rolled up the manuscript.
Gave it again to the minister. Not a rabbi, but an officer who had charge of the building and its furniture. And sat down. It was the custom of the synagogue to stand while reading, to sit while teaching. The eyes of all... in the synagogue. The man brought up among them was about to address them for the first time. The report from other places preceded this visit; the passage was remarkable, and doubtless there was something in the appearance of our Lord, especially under these circumstances, which would command unusual attention (Schaff). His mother, brethren and sisters were probably present. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 4:21 This day is this scripture fulfilled. By the preaching to which they were now about to listen.
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? 4:22 Bare him witness, and wondered. As he proceeded with his discourse.
Is not this Joseph's son? They were astonished that Joseph's son, without rabbinical education, could speak with such power and knowledge. And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 4:23 Physician, heal thyself. This seems to have been answered to their whispered words and the thoughts he read in their hearts. They had heard of his fame in Capernaum, but they knew him as a poor young man, and his family was poor. If he has such power as fame reports, let him better his own condition.
And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 4:24 Verily I say unto you. See PNT Mt 5:18. This expression occurs eight times in Luke.
No prophet is accepted in his own country. He replied to their proverb with another, often verified. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 4:25 Many widows were in Israel. He points out that Elijah saved a Sidonian widow, and Elisha healed a Syrian leper, passing by Hebrews and healing Gentiles, and thus he points to the salvation of Gentiles by Christ.
But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 4:26 Sarepta. The same as Zarephatha, a town between Tyre and Sidon. See 1Ki 17:9,10.
And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 4:27 Naaman. See 2Ki 5:14.
And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 4:28,29 Were filled with wrath. They were so filled with bigotry that the suggestion of the salvation of the Gentiles was intolerable, and in their rage they sought to slay him. See Ac 2:22, where a similar suggestion leads the Jews to seek Paul's death.
And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 4:28,29 Were filled with wrath. They were so filled with bigotry that the suggestion of the salvation of the Gentiles was intolerable, and in their rage they sought to slay him. See Ac 2:22, where a similar suggestion leads the Jews to seek Paul's death.
But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 4:30 Passing through the midst of them. With a majesty that overawed them.
And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 4:31 Came down to Capernaum. Nazareth was on the hills; Capernaum in the deep depression of the Sea of Galilee.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. 4:31 Came down to Capernaum. Nazareth was on the hills; Capernaum in the deep depression of the Sea of Galilee.
And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, 4:33-37 In the synagogue there was a man. See notes on Mr 1:21-27. Matthew omits this account.
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 4:33-37 In the synagogue there was a man. See notes on Mr 1:21-27. Matthew omits this account.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 4:33-37 In the synagogue there was a man. See notes on Mr 1:21-27. Matthew omits this account.
And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 4:33-37 In the synagogue there was a man. See notes on Mr 1:21-27. Matthew omits this account.
And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. 4:33-37 In the synagogue there was a man. See notes on Mr 1:21-27. Matthew omits this account.
And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. 4:38,39 Simon's wife's mother. See notes on Mt 8:14-17. Compare Mr 1:29-34.
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. 4:38,39 Simon's wife's mother. See notes on Mt 8:14-17. Compare Mr 1:29-34.
Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 4:43 I must preach... to other cities. See notes on Mt 4:23-25 Mr 1:35-39.
And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. The People's New Testament by B.W. Johnson [1891] Bible Hub |
