Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 4:22

All bare him witness - All were witnesses of the power and truth of what he said. Their reason and conscience approved of it, and they were constrained to admit the force and propriety of it, and on this account they wondered.They wondered - They were struck with the truth and force of his words; and especially when they remembered that he was a native of their own place, and that they had been long acquainted with him, and that he should “now” claim to be the Messiah, and give so much evidence... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 4:23

Physician, heal thyself - This proverb was probably in common use at that time. The meaning is this: Suppose that a man should attempt to heal another when he was himself diseased in the same manner; it would be natural to ask him first to cure himself, and thus to render it manifest that he was worthy of confidence. The connection of this proverb, here, is this: “You profess to be the Messiah. You have performed miracles at Capernaum. You profess to be able to deliver us from our maladies, our... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 4:25

Of a truth - Truly, and therefore worthy of your credit. He calls attention to two cases where “acknowledged” prophets had so little honor in their own nation that they bestowed their favors on foreigners. So, says he, such is the want of faith in my own country, that I shall work no miracles here, but shall give the evidence of my divine mission to others.In Israel - In the land of Israel, or Judea. It was therefore the more remarkable, since there were so many in his own country whom he might... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 4:26

Save unto Sarepta - Sarepta was a town between Tyre and Sidon, near the Mediterranean Sea. It was not a “Jewish” city, but a Sidonian, and therefore a “Gentile” town. The word “save” in this verse does not express the meaning of the original. It would seem to imply that the city was Jewish. The meaning of the verse is this: “He was sent to none of the widows in Israel. He was not sent except to Sarepta, to a woman that was a “Sidonian.” Dr. Thomson (“The Land and the Book,” vol. i. p. 232-236)... read more

Many lepers - For an account of the leprosy see the notes at Matthew 8:1.Time of Eliseus - Time of Elisha. The word “Eliseus” is the Greek way of writing the word Elisha, as Elias is of Elijah.Saving Naaman the Syrian - The account of his cure is contained in 2 Kings 5:0. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 4:28

Filled with wrath - They were enraged, probably, for the following reasons:They saw that the cases applied to themselves, because they would not receive the miraculous evidences of his mission. That he would direct his attention to others, and not to them. That the “Gentiles” were objects of compassion with God, and that God often showed more favor to a “single” Gentile than to multitudes of Jews in the same circumstances. That they might be “worse” than the Gentiles. And, That it was a part of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 4:22

Luke 4:22. And all the congregation bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words, &c. By this it appears, that our Lord proved and illustrated his assertion, (that the passage he had read was that day fulfilled,) in a discourse of considerable length, the subject of which only is mentioned by Luke. And it seems also, that on this occasion he delivered his thoughts with such strength of reason, clearness of method, and, perhaps also, beauty of expression, that his townsmen, who... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 4:23-24

Luke 4:23-24. And he said, Ye will surely say That is, your approbation now outweighs your prejudices. But it will not be so long. You will soon ask, why my love does not begin at home? why I do not work miracles here, rather than at Capernaum? It is because of your unbelief. Nor is it any new thing for a messenger of God to be despised in his own country. So were both Elijah and Elisha, and thereby driven to work miracles among heathen, rather than in Israel. And he said, Verily, no... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 4:25-27

Luke 4:25-27. Many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, &c. “By putting them thus in mind of Elijah’s miracle in behalf of the widow of Sarepta, a heathen inhabitant of a heathen city, in a time of famine, while many widows of Israel were suffered to starve; and of Elisha’s miracle on Naaman the Syrian leper, while many lepers in Israel remained uncleansed, he showed them both the sin and punishment of their ancestors, and left it to themselves to make the application.” When the... read more
