Luke 4:16-44 NIV

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:43

‘But he said to them, “I must preach the good tidings of the Kingly Rule of God to the other cities also, for that is why I was sent.” ’ The crowd pressed Him to remain. They were not like the Nazarenes. But He informed them that He could not stay. It was necessary for Him to proclaim the Good News of the Kingly Rule of God to other towns and cities. For that was why God had sent Him, and had anointed Him with the Holy Spirit. Now that He had commenced His ministry it was urgent for it to go... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:44

‘And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judaea (some authorities say ‘Galilee’).’ The passage that we have been looking at now ends with a general comment about His activity as a Spirit-inspired Prophet. He was continually preaching in the synagogues of ‘Judaea’. This might at first appear strange, for surely He was ministering in Galilee? But in fact that is what Luke is saying. On a number of occasions He uses ‘Judaea’ to signify to his Gentile readers ‘the land of the Jews’, the place... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:14-30

Luke 4:14-Amos : . Jesus in Nazareth ( Mark 1:14 f.*, Matthew 4:12-Esther : *, Mark 6:1-Joshua : *, Matthew 13:53-Hebrews : *).— Lk. brings Jesus to Galilee, but, anxious to make the mission begin in His own town, departs from Mk.’ s order (though it leads him into difficulty, see Luke 4:23), and puts the rejection at Nazareth (Mark 6) at the beginning of the ministry. The episode is prophetic of the later and larger rejection. And the activity which Jesus is said to have displayed outside... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:31-37

Luke 4:31-Haggai : . A Case of Exorcism ( Mark 12:1-Hosea : *).— Lk. brings Jesus at once to Capernaum and so postpones the call of the first disciples ( Mark 1:16-Proverbs :) to ch. 5. The narrative keeps close to Mk., but note the phrase “ spirit of an unclean demon” ( Luke 4:33), and the assertion that the expelled spirit, though it threw the man down, did not hurt him (Mk. says it tore him). read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:38-39

Luke 4:38 f. Simon’ s Wife’ s Mother ( Mark 1:29-Obadiah : *, Matthew 8:14 f.*).— Lk. heightens the miracle. Jesus rebukes the fever as though it were an evil spirit, and does not touch the sufferer. Note how Simon is introduced without comment; Lk. is really following Mark 1:29. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:40-44

Luke 4:40-Acts : . Other Healings ( Mark 1:32-Malachi : *, Matthew 8:16 f.*, Matthew 4:23-Lamentations : *).— The medical interest of Lk. here appears strongly. He distinguishes ordinary ailments from cases of demoniacal possession. Luke 4:43 is an announcement made earlier by Mk. ( Mark 1:15); Lk. has had to defer it through his treatment of the Nazareth episode. Luke 4:43 . I was sent is less original than Mk.’ s “ came I forth” ( i.e. from Capernaum). Luke 4:44 . Galilee. The true... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 4:16

We heard before, Luke 2:39,Luke 2:51, that Christ was brought up at Nazareth; we read of him at Nazareth, Matthew 13:54. But I must confess I doubt whether Matthew there, and Luke here, speak of the same time. Of the nature of the Jewish synagogues, and their order of worship there, and the reading of the Scriptures in them, we have spoken before in our notes on Matthew 4:23. See Poole on "Matthew 4:23". read more
