Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 4:33-37

Luke 4:33-37. See this paragraph explained at large in the notes on Mark 1:23-28. What have we to do with thee Thy present business is with men, not with devils. I know thee who thou art But did he, did even the prince of devils know Jesus, some time before, when he dared to say to him, Luke 4:6, All this power is delivered to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it? The Holy One of God Either this confession was extorted from him by terror, (for the devils believe and tremble,) or, he... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 4:31-37

28. Man with an evil spirit healed (Mark 1:21-28; Luke 4:31-37)While in Capernaum Jesus preached in the local synagogue. People noticed that his teaching was very much different from that of the Jewish religious teachers. Instead of arguing about small points of the law he taught the truth of God plainly. All who heard had no doubt that this was God’s message taught with his authority (Mark 1:21-22).On this occasion, however, Jesus’ teaching was violently opposed by evil satanic powers that had... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 4:35

And Jesus rebuked him saying, Hold thy 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.Again from Ash:The threat of the brow of the hill (Luke 4:29) corresponds to the pinnacle of the temple; the expulsion of the demon (Luke 4:35f) to the desire of Satan for Jesus' worship; and the catch of fishes (Luke 5:6) to the bread temptation.[21]This correspondence of these wonders to the sequence of temptations endured by Jesus... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 4:35

Luke 4:35. Had thrown him in the midst,— See on Mark 1:26. The meaning of the last words seems to be, and did him no further harm; Μηδεν βλαψαν αυτον ; for while the convulsion continued, it must have given him some pain, and might have been attended with lasting disorder, had not the restraining power of Christ prevented it. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 4:14-50

IV. JESUS’ MINISTRY IN AND AROUND GALILEE 4:14-9:50Luke commenced his account of Jesus’ public ministry with His return to Galilee following His temptation. This section of his Gospel ends with Jesus’ decision to leave Galilee for Jerusalem and the Cross (Luke 9:51). Luke did not give as much information about Jesus’ Galilean ministry as the other synoptic writers did (cf. Matthew 4:12 to Matthew 16:12; Mark 1:14 to Mark 8:26). He chose, rather, to emphasize Jesus’ ministry as He traveled from... read more

3. Jesus’ ministry in and around Capernaum 4:31-44The people of Nazareth rejected Jesus because they did not believe that He was the Messiah or the Son of God. Luke next gave many proofs of Jesus’ messiahship and deity. He chose incidents from Jesus’ ministry in and around Galilee to demonstrate this. The first four incidents happened in Capernaum and its environs. Even though these incidents involved miracles, they occurred in a broader context of teaching. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 4:34-35

"Ha!" translates an expression of "indignant surprise." [Note: J. M. Creed, The Gospel According to St. Luke. A Commentary on the Third Gospel, p. 30.] "What do we have to do with you" means something like, "Why this interference?" [Note: Danker, p. 61.] The demon testified to Jesus’ messianic and divine character. He was the "Holy One of God" in contrast to the unclean demon. Jesus may have silenced the demon to prevent a premature movement to recognize Him as simply a political Messiah. Again... read more
