Luke 4:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:37

And the fame of him went out
From hence on account of his dispossessing this unclean spirit, which seems to be the first instance of this kind:

into every place in the country round about;
into every city, town, and village in Galilee, and even into all places round about Galilee; ( Mark 1:28 ) .

Luke 4:37 In-Context

35 “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly. “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.
36 All the people were amazed and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!”
37 And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.
38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her.
39 So he bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.
