Luke 4:32

32 et stupebant in doctrina eius quia in potestate erat sermo ipsius

Luke 4:32 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:32

And they were astonished at his doctrine
At the matter of it, as well as the manner in which it was delivered, it being so different from the Scribes and Pharisees, they had been used to:

for his word was with power:
he spake with great fervency, majesty, and authority, and not with coldness and indifference, and dependence on the sense and authority of others, as their teachers did; and besides, such power went along with the word, that it reached their hearts; and as the Persic version renders it, "he penetrated them with it"; and he also confirmed it by powerful operations, by miraculous works, such as casting out devils, and healing diseases, of which an account follows.

30 ipse autem transiens per medium illorum ibat

31 et descendit in Capharnaum civitatem Galilaeae ibique docebat illos sabbatis

32 et stupebant in doctrina eius quia in potestate erat sermo ipsius

33 et in synagoga erat homo habens daemonium inmundum et exclamavit voce magna

34 dicens sine quid nobis et tibi Iesu Nazarene venisti perdere nos scio te qui sis Sanctus Dei
