Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 4:22
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph's son?The more the people thought of what Jesus said, the less they appreciated it. The son (as they supposed) of the local carpenter, the Messiah? Such a monstrous proposition as that appeared to be was utterly beyond their comprehension. They totally rejected it. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 4:23
And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself, whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thine own country. And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country.These remarks of Jesus were his response to unfavorable murmurings that developed in the audience as the meaning of his declaration began to take effect. Until this day, audiences in Jewish synagogues talk freely out loud during the services.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 4:25
But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.The Old Testament record of this event (1Kings 17,1 Kings 18) should be read in connection with this, as it clears up the questions some of the scholars have regarding the "three years and six... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 4:27
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.This was another incident from the Old Testament (2 Kings 5:1-14), this time from the ministry of Elisha; and it has exactly the same point as the one drawn a moment before from the ministry of Elijah. Naaman showed his faith in God by obeying the command of the prophet, being subsequently healed of leprosy; Naaman, of course, being another despised Gentile. There is... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 4:20-22
Luke 4:20-22. And sat down.— In agreement with the custom which we have spoken of at the end of the note on Luk 4:16 our Lord sat down to preach, after he had read the passage in the prophet which he made the subject of his discourse. The custom of preaching from texts of scripture, which now prevails throughout all the Christian churches, seems to have derived its origin from the authority of this example. In speaking to the congregation from theprophesy, he told them, it was that day... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 4:23-27
Luke 4:23-27. And he said unto them, &c.— When our Lord came to Galilee, with a view to exercise his ministry, he did not go to Nazareth: on the contrary, he passed by it, and went straight to Cana, which lay not far from Sidon. See John 2:1. This exasperated the Nazarenes. Besides, he had not performed any miracle in their town; far less had he done any like that which they heard he had performed in Capernaum, where he cured the nobleman's sonwithout stirring from Cana. It seems they... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 4:22
22. gracious words—"the words of grace," referring both to the richness of His matter and the sweetness of His manner ( :-). Is not this, &c.—(See on :-). They knew He had received no rabbinical education, and anything supernatural they seemed incapable of conceiving. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 4:23
23. this proverb—like our "Charity begins at home." whatsoever, c.—"Strange rumors have reached our ears of Thy doings at Capernaum but if such power resides in Thee to cure the ills of humanity, why has none of it yet come nearer home, and why is all this alleged power reserved for strangers?" His choice of Capernaum as a place of residence since entering on public life was, it seems, already well known at Nazareth; and when He did come thither, to give no displays of His power when distant... read more
