After His baptism and temptation in the wilderness, Jesus comes back to Galilee, marking the beginning of His public ministry. The Greek word for "returned" (ὑπέστρεψεν, hypestrepsen) implies a purposeful return, indicating that Jesus is now ready to fulfill His mission. This return is not just a physical movement but a spiritual transition into His role as the Messiah.to Galilee Galilee, a region in northern Israel, is significant for its diverse population and its role as the setting for much of Jesus' ministry. Historically, Galilee was known for its fertile land and bustling trade routes, making it a melting pot of cultures and ideas. This setting underscores the universal nature of Jesus' message, reaching beyond the Jewish community to the Gentiles as well.in the power of the Spirit The phrase "in the power of the Spirit" highlights the divine empowerment that Jesus possesses. The Greek word for "power" (δύναμις, dynamis) conveys a sense of miraculous strength and authority. This empowerment by the Holy Spirit is crucial, as it underscores the divine nature of Jesus' mission and His reliance on the Spirit for guidance and strength. It also serves as a model for believers, emphasizing the importance of living and ministering in the Spirit's power.and the news about Him spread The spreading of news about Jesus indicates the beginning of His widespread influence and the growing recognition of His authority and teachings. The Greek word for "news" (φήμη, phēmē) suggests a report or rumor that captures public attention. This rapid dissemination of information reflects the impact of Jesus' presence and the anticipation of the people for a Messiah.throughout the surrounding region This phrase emphasizes the extensive reach of Jesus' reputation. The surrounding region includes not only Galilee but also the broader areas of Judea and beyond. The historical context reveals a society eager for hope and deliverance, and Jesus' message resonated deeply with those long-awaiting the fulfillment of prophetic promises. This widespread recognition sets the stage for the transformative impact of His ministry.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/luke/4.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) Returned in the power of the Spirit.--The phrase, which meets us again in <a href="/romans/15-13.htm" title="Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.">Romans 15:13</a>, indicates a new phase of the life of the Son of Man, a change from its former tenor as striking as that which passed over the Apostles on the day of Pentecost, when new powers of thought and utterance were developed which had before been latent.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 14-30. - THE PREACHING OF JESUS AT NAZARETH, AND ITS RESULT. Verse 14. - And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. Between the events of the temptation and the preaching at Nazareth here related, some considerable time had intervened. St. John, in his Gospel, gives a somewhat detailed account of this period which St. Luke omits. Shortly after the temptation, took place the concluding incidents in the Baptist's career, which St. Luke summarized in his brief statement (<a href="/luke/3-19.htm">Luke 3:19, 20</a>), when he tells us of the arrest and imprisonment of the fearless preacher by the Tetrarch Herod. St. John tells how the Sanhedrin sent some special envoys to the Baptist, asking him formally who he really was. After this questioning, John in his Gospel mentions the calling of Andrew, Simon, Philip, and Nathanael, and then records the first miracle of Jesus at Cana in Galilee, and how the Lord visited Capernaum. He then proceeds to relate some of the circumstances which took place at the Passover at Jerusalem, and how the Lord drove out the men who profaned his Father's house. He writes down, too, the particulars of Nicodemus the Pharisee's visit to Jesus by night. The Master then proceeded, as is here related by St. Luke, "in the power of the Spirit," who descended on him formally at his baptism, into Galilee, and on his journey thither tarried at Samaria, resting on the well there, and talking with the woman in those memorable words recorded by St. John at length in his fourth chapter (vers. 4-42). Rapidly the report of what he had done at Cana, the fame of his marvellous words at Jerusalem, Samaria, and other places, spread through all the central districts of the Holy Land. <a href="/commentaries/luke/4-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Jesus Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2424.htm">Strong's 2424: </a> Of Hebrew origin; Jesus, the name of our Lord and two other Israelites. returned ὑπέστρεψεν (hypestrepsen) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_5290.htm">Strong's 5290: </a> To turn back, return.
