This setting underscores His role as a rabbi and teacher, fulfilling prophecies like <a href="/isaiah/61.htm">Isaiah 61:1-2</a>.and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. The Pharisees and teachers of the law, or scribes, were religious leaders who emphasized strict adherence to the Mosaic Law and oral traditions. Their presence indicates the growing interest and scrutiny of Jesus' ministry. They often challenged Jesus, as seen in later passages, due to His interpretations and actions that seemed to contradict their traditions.People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, This highlights the widespread fame of Jesus' ministry. Jerusalem was the religious center, while Galilee and Judea were regions with significant Jewish populations. The gathering of people from these areas shows the impact of Jesus' teachings and miracles, drawing diverse crowds seeking truth and healing.and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick. This phrase emphasizes the divine authority and presence with Jesus, enabling Him to perform miracles. It reflects the fulfillment of messianic prophecies, such as <a href="/isaiah/35-5.htm">Isaiah 35:5-6</a>, which speak of the Messiah bringing healing.

Verse 17. - And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the Law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem. Again an interval of time. The fame of the new Teacher had spread rapidly. One day, some time after the events told in the last section, the Master was sitting in the house apparently of some one of consideration in Capernaum, and, as usual, was teaching. Grouped round him were a different audience to the traders and fishermen of the lake-city; prominent men of the leading religious party in the state, not only from Galilee, but from Jerusalem and other Judaean cities, such as Hebron, as well as learned doctors of the Law. These had been drawn from curiosity, some doubtless by higher motives, to hear for themselves the teaching of this now famous Nazarene Carpenter. These do not appear to have been actuated with the jealous malignity of some of those later deputations from the Jerusalem Sanhedrin and schools. The house was thronged within, and the crowd pressed round the doors. In the course of the quiet teaching, took place the incident which gave rise to one of the Lord's great sayings - an utterance so important that it evidently had been chosen by the apostles as a frequent theme or text in the preaching of the first days. <a href="/commentaries/luke/5-17.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>One μιᾷ (mia) Adjective - Dative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_1520.htm">Strong's 1520: </a> One.
