Luke 4:40 NLT,NIV,ESV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 4:38-44

Luke 4:38-44. He entered into Simon’s house See notes on Matthew 8:14-17; and Mark 1:29-35. When the sun was setting And consequently the sabbath ended, which they considered as continuing from sunset to sunset; all that had any sick brought them Fully persuaded that he could and would heal them; which he accordingly did; he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them Like the Pharisees, they seem to have questioned whether it was lawful for him to do cures on the sabbath... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 4:38-44

29. Many sick people healed (Matthew 4:23-25; Matthew 8:14-17; Mark 1:29-39; Luke 4:38-44)Further examples of the ministry of Jesus show the presence and power of the kingdom of God in healing those afflicted by Satan (Matthew 4:23-25; Mark 1:29-34). (For the significance of the kingdom of God see earlier section, ‘Jesus and the Kingdom’.) On one occasion when Jesus was staying in Capernaum, he went outside the town to find a quiet place to pray to his Father. Peter thought he was losing... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 4:40

And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. And demons also came out of many, saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.And when the sun was setting... Such an expression as this, compared with the parallels (Matthew 8:16; Mark 1:32), proves the independence of the synoptic narrators.... read more

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 4:40

The Jewish crowds waited to come to Jesus until the Sabbath ended at sundown. Luke did not draw attention to the Sabbath but noted the sun setting as the background for what followed. Luke distinguished between the sick and the demon possessed. He did not think demons were responsible for all disease, as some Greeks did. However, he would have acknowledged that sin is responsible for all sickness ultimately. Luke alone also mentioned Jesus laying His hands on those who came to Him for healing.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 4:40-41

Jesus’ healing of many Galileans after sundown 4:40-41 (cf. Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 1:32-34)Having recorded two individual healings, Luke now mentioned a group of people that Jesus healed. Again Luke omitted some details that the other synoptic writers included but added others to stress other points for his particular readers. read more

For a season] ’These words signify “until a favourable time.” The conflict foretold so precisely, can be none other than that of Gethsemane. “This is your hour and the power of darkness,” said Jesus at this very time (Luke 22:53), and a few moments before He had said, “The prince of this world cometh” (John 14:30)’ (Godet).14, 15.

(40, 41) Now when the sun was setting.—See Notes on Matthew 8:16-17. Common to St. Luke and St. Mark are the “divers diseases,” and the silence imposed on the demoniacs. The words of the demoniacs, “Thou art the Son of God,” and “they knew that He was the Christ,” are peculiar to this Gospel. read more
