Lucas 4:28

28 Todos os que estavam na sinagoga, ao ouvirem estas coisas, ficaram cheios de ira.

Lucas 4:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:28

And all they in the synagogue
The ruler and minister, and the whole multitude of the common people that were met together there for worship; and who before were amazed at his eloquence, and the gracefulness of his delivery; and could not but approve of his ministry, though they could not account for it, how he should come by his qualifications for it:

when they heard these things;
these two instances of Elijah and Elisha, the one supplying the wants of a Sidonian woman, and the other healing a Syrian leper, when no notice were taken by them of poor widows and lepers in Israel:

were filled with wrath;
for by these instances they perceived, that they were compared to the Israelites in the times of wicked Ahab and Jezebel; and that no miracles were to be wrought among them, or benefits conferred on them, though they were his townsmen; yea, that the Gentiles were preferred unto them: and indeed the calling of the Gentiles was here plainly intimated, which was always ungrateful and provoking to the Jews; and it was suggested, that the favours of God, and grace of the Messiah, are dispensed in a sovereign and discriminating way, than which nothing is more offensive to carnal minds.

Lucas 4:28 In-Context

26 e a nenhuma delas foi enviado Elias, senão a uma viúva em Serepta de Sidom.

27 Também muitos leprosos havia em Israel no tempo do profeta Elizeu, mas nenhum deles foi purificado senão Naamã, o sírio.

28 Todos os que estavam na sinagoga, ao ouvirem estas coisas, ficaram cheios de ira.

29 e, levantando-se, expulsaram-no da cidade e o levaram até o despenhadeiro do monte em que a sua cidade estava edificada, para dali o precipitarem.

30 Ele, porém, passando pelo meio deles, seguiu o seu caminho.
