Luke 4:32-44 KJV

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:34

“Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God.” It wanted Jesus to know that it had recognised Him. ‘What have we in common?’ it cried? (Literally, ‘what is there to us and to you?’). In LXX this phrase is used to translate ‘what are you to do with me’ (Joshua 22:24) and ‘why are you interfering with me?’ (Judges 11:12). See also 2 Samuel 16:10; 2Sa 19:22 1 Kings 17:18; 2 Kings 3:13). The ‘we’ possibly meant the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:35

Jesus Rebukes the Evil Spirit And It Comes Out. ‘And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Hold your peace, and come out of him.” And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt.’ And Jesus exercised that power. He rebuked the evil spirit, commanding it to be silent, and to come out of the man. He would not accept testimony from evil spirits. And the evil spirit had no option but to obey. It could not resist the power and authority of Jesus. So, probably... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:36

‘And amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” What they had seen amazed the people who saw it. They had never seen anything like it. They knew of exorcisers who had various methods for trying to deal with evil spirits, including the use of incantations and formulae, and of various physical props, and the use of powerful names, but they had never come across One... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:37

‘And there went out a rumour concerning him into every place of the region round about.’ And the result was that the news about what He had done was spread around the whole region, improving as it went around (compare Luke 4:14). Jesus was thoroughly ‘in the news’, and His fame was spreading everywhere. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:38

‘And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s wife’s mother was gripped with a great fever, and they besought him for her.’ Leaving the synagogue Jesus went to Simon’s house to receive hospitality. Simon would shortly be renamed Peter and become an Apostle. He had probably previously been a disciple of John the Baptiser (John 1:41-42). Certainly his brother Andrew had. But when He arrived with them they discovered that Simon’s mother-in-law ‘was gripped’... read more

Jesus, Freeing the Oppressed and Afflicted, Rebukes A Fever And It Leaves A Fevered Woman (4:38-39). Having revealed His power to rebuke evil spirits, Jesus now revealed His power to rebuke disease. Even distorted nature was seen as responsive to His commands. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:39

‘And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose up and ministered to them.’ And Jesus responded to their plea, and standing over the woman rebuked the fever, and it left her, revealing that all disease had to respond to His word. And the woman then immediately arose and produced a meal for them. God was arranging for His Son to be fed legitimately. Her actions, following immediately after arising from a bed on which she had been lying with a severe... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:40

Jesus Continues To Relieve The Oppressed and Afflicted (4:40). ‘And when the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with different kinds of diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.’ Once the Sabbath was over, and the sun was setting, many sick people were now brought to Jesus with many different kinds of diseases. They dared not bring them on the Sabbath because the Scribal regulations said that the only healings allowed on the Sabbath... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:41

‘And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, “You are the Son of God.” And rebuking them, he would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.’ And many evil spirits came out at His word, crying out, “(We know Who you are), You are the Son of God.” They too wanted Him to know that He had been recognised. Here we are now made aware that they recognise His divinity, and that He is the only Son of God. But He did not want their testimony because He did not... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:42

‘And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place, and the multitudes sought after him, and came to him, and would have stopped him, that he should not go from them.’ The result of all this was increasing popularity. So desiring privacy in order to speak with His Father He went aside into a desert place to pray, but even there the people sought Him out and tried to persuade Him to stay with them. Jesus was constantly being interrupted at prayer simply because people, including His... read more
