John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:28

And all they in the synagogue ,.... The ruler and minister, and the whole multitude of the common people that were met together there for worship; and who before were amazed at his eloquence, and the gracefulness of his delivery; and could not but approve of his ministry, though they could not account for it, how he should come by his qualifications for it: when they heard these things ; these two instances of Elijah and Elisha, the one supplying the wants of a Sidonian woman, and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:29

And rose up ,.... In great wrath, and, in a noisy and tumultuous manner, before the service was well over, and without being regularly dismissed: and thrust him out of the city ; first out of the synagogue, and then out of their city, as unworthy to be in it, though an inhabitant of it; and as if he had done something deserving of death; and therefore to be punished as a malefactor without the city: and led him unto the brow of the hill ; the edge of it, where it run out, and hung... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:30

But he passing through the midst of them ,.... Either in so strong and powerful a manner, and with so much swiftness, that being once out of their hands, they could not lay hold on him again; or else he put on another form, or made himself invisible to them; or he held their eyes that they could not see him, or know him, as in Luke 24:16 however it was, he made use of, and showed his divine power; and which he did, because his time to die was not yet come, nor was he to die such a death:... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:31

And came down to Capernaum ,.... Which was, as Dr. Lightfoot thinks, sixteen miles or more from Nazareth; and Christ may be said to "come down" to it, because of the situation of Nazareth, which was upon an hill: a city of Galilee : of lower Galilee, near the sea of Galilee: and taught them on the sabbath days : that is, he went into the synagogue at Capernaum, on the sabbath days, whenever he was there, and taught the inhabitants, explained some passage or other in the Old... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:32

And they were astonished at his doctrine ,.... At the matter of it, as well as the manner in which it was delivered, it being so different from the Scribes and Pharisees, they had been used to: for his word was with power : he spake with great fervency, majesty, and authority, and not with coldness and indifference, and dependence on the sense and authority of others, as their teachers did; and besides, such power went along with the word, that it reached their hearts; and as the Persic... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:22

At the gracious words - To the words of grace, επι τοις λογοις της χαριτος , or the doctrines of grace, which he then preached. It is very strange that none of the evangelists give us any account of this sermon! There was certainly more of it than is related in Luke 4:21 . To-day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears; which seems to have been no more than the first sentence he spoke on the occasion. Had it been necessary for our salvation, it would have been recorded. It was a... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:23

Physician, heal thyself - That is, heal the broken-hearted in thy own country, as the latter clause of the verse explains it; but they were far from being in a proper spirit to receive the salvation which he was ready to communicate; and therefore they were not healed. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:25

In the days of Elias - See this history, 1 Kings 17:1-9 , compared with 1 Kings 18:1-45. This was evidently a miraculous interference, as no rain fell for three years and six months, even in the rainy seasons. There were two of these in Judea, called the first and the latter rains; the first fell in October, the latter in April: the first prepared the ground for the seed, the latter ripened the harvest. As both these rains were withheld, consequently there was a great famine throughout all... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:26

Unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta - The sentence is elliptical, and means this: To none of them was Elias sent; he was not sent except to Sarepta; for the widow at Sarepta was a Sidonian, not a widow of Israel. Pearce. - Sarepta was a pagan city in the country of Sidon, in the vicinity of Galilee. read more
