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 Jesus shut him up: "Quiet! Get out of him!" The demonic spirit threw the man down in front of them all and left. The demon didn't hurt him.

36 That set everyone back on their heels, whispering and wondering, "What's going on here? Someone whose words make things happen? Someone who orders demonic spirits to get out and they go?"

37 Jesus was the talk of the town.

38 He left the meeting place and went to Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was running a high fever and they asked him to do something for her.

39 He stood over her, told the fever to leave - and it left. Before they knew it, she was up getting dinner for them.
