Luke 4:33

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:31-44

31-44 Christ's preaching much affected the people; and a working power went with it to the consciences of men. These miracles showed Christ to be a controller and conqueror of Satan, a healer of diseases. Where Christ gives a new life, in recovery from sickness, it should be a new life, spent more than ever in his service, to his glory. Our business should be to spread abroad Christ's fame in every place, to beseech him in behalf of those diseased in body or mind, and to use our influence in... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 4:1-99

Luke 4 OUR CHAPTER OPENS with Him returning from His baptism, full of the Holy Ghost. But before beginning His service He must for forty days be tempted of the devil. To this testing the Spirit led Him, and here we see the glorious contrast between the Second Man and the first. When the first man was created God pronounced all to be very good, but Satan came promptly on the scene, tempted man and ruined him. The Second Man has appeared, and the Father’s voice has pronounced His excellence, so... read more

Healing of a Demoniac and Other Miracles. Luke 4:33-Acts : The healing of the demoniac at Capernaum: v. 33. And in the synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, v. 34. saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art Thou come to destroy us? I know Thee who Thou art; the Holy One of God. v. 35. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 4:33-44

Luke A SABBATH IN CAPERNAUM Luk_4:33 - Luk_4:44 . There are seven references to Christ’s preaching in the synagogues in this chapter, and only two in the rest of this Gospel. Probably our Lord somewhat changed His method, and Luke, as the Evangelist of the gospel for Gentile as well as Jew, emphasises the change, as foreshadowing and warranting the similar procedure in Paul’s preaching. This lesson takes us down from the synagogue at Nazareth, among its hills, to that at Capernaum, on the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 4:31-44

Healer and Preacher Luke 4:31-44 In after years the evil spirit cried out, “Jesus I know,” Acts 19:15 . Evidently our Lord was not only “seen of angels,” but closely watched by the fallen spirits, who beheld His every act and listened to every word. What a remarkable verdict was that given in Luke 4:34 ! Those who know most of evil are most certain of the ultimate woe which awaits its votaries; and they know genuine goodness when they meet it. Our Lord had overcome the prince of demons, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 4:1-44

As man Jesus was tempted. All the words with which He rebutted the attacks of Satan were quotations from the divine law for the government of human life. The exhaustive nature of the temptation is revealed in Luke's words, "When the devil had completed every temptation." Evil had nothing more to suggest. The thoroughness of the temptation was the completeness of the victory. The perfect and victorious Man now found His way back to Nazareth, and there, reading from the prophecy of Isaiah,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:31-44

The Anointed Prophet Ministers In Capernaum And Elsewhere (4:31-44). In this passage the work of the Spirit Anointed Prophet is seen as coming to fulfilment. Here we are given the essence of His activity. Primarily He teaches with authority. But He also frees a man from captivity by evil spirits, He delivers from an oppressive fever, and carries on a successful healing and deliverance ministry, and then He goes on to proclaim the Kingly Rule of God in other towns also. Pause before you enter... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:33

‘And in the synagogue there was a man, who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,’ In the synagogue at Capernaum where He was preaching there was a man who had an unclean spirit (or ‘demon’. This word would make clear to Gentiles what an ‘evil spirit’ was) within him. The fact that it is ‘unclean’ emphasises that it has no approach to God. It is excluded by its condition. This was a spiritual power of evil which had taken possession of him. Probably in some way he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:33-36

Delivering One Who Was A Captive of Evil Spirits (4:33-36). Second to His work of preaching and proclaiming the Kingly Rule of God (Luke 4:43) is His work of defeating the Devil and all his minions. He has come to break the tyranny of darkness (Colossians 1:13) and to release the captives, and thus reveal that the finger of God is at work (Luke 11:20). read more
