Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 4:37-44

A Busy Day in the Life of Christ Luke 4:37-44 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Healed to help. When Simon's wife's mother was healed of the fever by the touch of the Divine Lord, we read, "Immediately she arose and ministered unto them." This was, as it should have been; and it was, as it should always be. We are saved to serve, and we are healed to serve. Blessings, which come to us from the hand of our Divine Lord, are not given to be stored, but to be multiplied by their use. If we take from God His... 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'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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:34

“Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God.” It wanted Jesus to know that it had recognised Him. ‘What have we in common?’ it cried? (Literally, ‘what is there to us and to you?’). In LXX this phrase is used to translate ‘what are you to do with me’ (Joshua 22:24) and ‘why are you interfering with me?’ (Judges 11:12). See also 2 Samuel 16:10; 2Sa 19:22 1 Kings 17:18; 2 Kings 3:13). The ‘we’ possibly meant the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:35

Jesus Rebukes the Evil Spirit And It Comes Out. ‘And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Hold your 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.’ And Jesus exercised that power. He rebuked the evil spirit, commanding it to be silent, and to come out of the man. He would not accept testimony from evil spirits. And the evil spirit had no option but to obey. It could not resist the power and authority of Jesus. So, probably... read more

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

‘And amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” What they had seen amazed the people who saw it. They had never seen anything like it. They knew of exorcisers who had various methods for trying to deal with evil spirits, including the use of incantations and formulae, and of various physical props, and the use of powerful names, but they had never come across One... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:37

‘And there went out a rumour concerning him into every place of the region round about.’ And the result was that the news about what He had done was spread around the whole region, improving as it went around (compare Luke 4:14). Jesus was thoroughly ‘in the news’, and His fame was spreading everywhere. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:38

‘And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s wife’s mother was gripped with a great fever, and they besought him for her.’ Leaving the synagogue Jesus went to Simon’s house to receive hospitality. Simon would shortly be renamed Peter and become an Apostle. He had probably previously been a disciple of John the Baptiser (John 1:41-42). Certainly his brother Andrew had. But when He arrived with them they discovered that Simon’s mother-in-law ‘was gripped’... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:38-39

Jesus, Freeing the Oppressed and Afflicted, Rebukes A Fever And It Leaves A Fevered Woman (4:38-39). Having revealed His power to rebuke evil spirits, Jesus now revealed His power to rebuke disease. Even distorted nature was seen as responsive to His commands. read more
