Jesus went throughout Galilee
The phrase "Jesus went throughout Galilee" indicates the active and itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry. Galilee, a region in northern Israel, was a diverse area with a mix of Jewish and Gentile populations. This setting underscores the universal scope of Jesus' mission. The Greek word for "went" (περιῆγεν, periēgen) suggests a continuous and purposeful movement, emphasizing Jesus' dedication to reaching as many people as possible. Historically, Galilee was known for its fertile land and bustling trade routes, making it a strategic location for spreading the message of the Kingdom.

teaching in their synagogues
The synagogues were central to Jewish community life, serving as places of worship, education, and legal discussion. By teaching in the synagogues, Jesus engaged directly with the Jewish religious and cultural context. The Greek word for "teaching" (διδάσκων, didaskōn) implies a systematic and authoritative instruction. This highlights Jesus' role as a rabbi and teacher, who brought new insights and interpretations of the Scriptures. His teaching often challenged the established religious norms, inviting listeners to a deeper understanding of God's will.

preaching the gospel of the kingdom
"Preaching" (κηρύσσων, kēryssōn) refers to the proclamation of a message with authority and urgency. The "gospel" (εὐαγγέλιον, euangelion) is the good news of salvation and the coming of God's reign. The "kingdom" (βασιλεία, basileia) of God is a central theme in Jesus' ministry, representing God's sovereign rule and the fulfillment of His promises. This phrase encapsulates the core of Jesus' mission: to announce the arrival of God's kingdom and invite people to enter into a new relationship with Him. The message was revolutionary, offering hope and transformation to all who would receive it.

healing every disease and sickness among the people
The acts of "healing" (θεραπεύων, therapeuōn) demonstrate Jesus' compassion and divine authority. The Greek words for "disease" (νόσον, noson) and "sickness" (μαλακίαν, malakian) cover a wide range of physical ailments, indicating the comprehensive nature of Jesus' healing ministry. This phrase highlights the tangible expression of the kingdom of God breaking into the world, as Jesus restores health and wholeness. His miracles served as signs of His messianic identity and the inbreaking of God's power. The phrase "among the people" emphasizes Jesus' accessibility and willingness to meet the needs of all, regardless of their social or religious status. This reflects the inclusive nature of the gospel and the heart of God for humanity.

(23) Preaching the gospel of the kingdom.--As far as regards St. Matthew this is the first occurrence of the phrase. It tells of a vast amount of unrecorded teaching, varying in form, yet essentially the same--a call to repentance--the good news of a kingdom of heaven not far off--the witness, by act for the most part rather than words, that He was Himself the Head of that kingdom.

Healing all manner of sickness.--In the Greek, as in the English, sickness implies a less serious form of suffering than "disease," as the "torments" of the next verse imply, in their turn, something more acute. St. Matthew's first mention of our Lord's miracles cannot be read without interest. It will be seen that they are referred to, not directly as evidence of a supernatural mission, but almost, so to speak, as the natural accompaniments of His work; signs, not of power only or chiefly, but of the love, tenderness, pity, which were the true marks or "notes" of the kingdom of heaven. Restoration to outward health was at once the pledge that the Son of Man had not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them, and often, we cannot doubt, served to strengthen that faith in the love of the Father, some degree of which was all but invariably required as an antecedent condition of the miracle (Matthew 13:58).

Verses 23-25. - The firstfruits of popular enthusiasm. As on Christ's call a few followed him (vers. 20-22), so after his circuit in Galilee did crowds, from all parts of the Holy Land, also follow him (ver. 25), though less immediately and devotedly. As to these verses (23-25), notice -

(1) Nearly all ver. 23 recurs in Matthew 9:35.

(2) Vers. 24, 25 occur in the parallels in different connexions. St. Mark places them in Matthew 3:7, 8, after he has recorded details of many miracles which are found later in Matthew. St. Luke places them in Matthew 6:17, 18, immediately before the sermon on the mount (as in Matthew), but after the call of the Twelve.

(3) St. Matthew, therefore, did not arrange his Gospel with a sole regard to chronology. . . .
