When Jesus had concluded His discourse
This phrase marks the end of a significant teaching moment by Jesus. The Greek word for "concluded" is "ἐπλήρωσεν" (eplērōsen), which implies a sense of fulfillment or completion. Jesus' teachings were not random but purposeful, fulfilling the spiritual needs of His listeners. His discourses often included parables and teachings that revealed the Kingdom of God, emphasizing repentance, faith, and righteousness. This completion signifies a transition from teaching to action, demonstrating that Jesus' words were always followed by deeds.

in the hearing of the people
The phrase underscores the public nature of Jesus' ministry. The Greek word for "hearing" is "ἀκοῇ" (akoē), which can also mean "report" or "fame." This suggests that Jesus' teachings were not only heard by those present but also spread widely, contributing to His growing reputation. The people who heard Him were often a diverse group, including Jews, Gentiles, the curious, and the skeptical. This public discourse highlights the accessibility of Jesus' message to all who were willing to listen, reflecting the inclusive nature of the Gospel.

He went to Capernaum
Capernaum, a town on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, served as a central hub for Jesus' ministry. The Greek verb "ἦλθεν" (ēlthen) indicates a deliberate movement or journey. Capernaum was a significant location due to its position on major trade routes, making it a place where Jesus could reach a wide audience. Archaeological findings reveal a thriving community with a synagogue, which Jesus frequented. This town witnessed many of His miracles and teachings, becoming a focal point for His ministry. Jesus' choice to go to Capernaum reflects His strategic approach to spreading His message, reaching both Jews and Gentiles in a bustling, multicultural environment.

VII.

(1) In the audience of the people.--Better, in the hearing, or, in the ears, the older sense of "audience" having become obsolete.

He entered into Capernaum.--The sequence of events is the same as that in Matthew 8:5-13; and, as far as it goes, this is an element of evidence against the conclusion that the Sermon on the Mountain and that on the Plain were altogether independent. Looking, however, at the manifest dislocation of facts in one or both of the Gospels, St. Matthew placing between the Sermon on the Mount and the healing of the centurion's servant, the healing of the leper, which St. Luke gives in Luke 5:12-16, the agreement in this instance can hardly be looked at as more than accidental.

Verses 1-10. - The servant (or slave) of the centurion of Capernaum is healed. Verse 1. - Now when he had ended all his sayings. This clearly refers to the sermon on the mount. That great discourse evidently occupied a position of its own in the public ministry of the Lord. Its great length, its definite announcement of the kind of reign he was inaugurating over the hearts of men, its stern rebuke of the dominant religious teaching of the day, its grave prophetic onlooks, - all marked it out as the great manifesto of the new Master, and as such it seems to have been generally received. He entered into Capernaum. The residence of Jesus, as we have before pointed out, during the greater part of his public life. It was, as it were, his head-quarters. After each missionary tour he returned to the populous, favoured lake-city which he had chosen as his temporary home.
