Luke 5:15 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:15

But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him
For the more he charged the man to keep silence, the more he blazed it abroad, being elated with the cure he received, and filled with gratitude to his benefactor; ( Mark 1:45 ) .

And great multitudes came together to hear:
him, or from him, as the Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions add; to hear the doctrines of the Gospel preached by him: "and to be healed by him of their infirmities"; their bodily weaknesses and disorders.

Luke 5:15 In-Context

13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man and said, "I will. Be healed!" Immediately the disease disappeared.

14 Then Jesus said, "Don't tell anyone about this, but go and show yourself to the priestn and offer a gift for your healing, as Moses commanded. This will show the people what I have done."

15 But the news about Jesus spread even more. Many people came to hear Jesus and to be healed of their sicknesses,

16 but Jesus often slipped away to be alone so he could pray.

17 One day as Jesus was teaching the people, the Pharisees and teachers of the law from every town in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem were there. The Lord was giving Jesus the power to heal people.
