Contextual Overview

31 Jesus went to Capernaum, a city in Galilee, and on the Sabbath day, he taught the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching, because he spoke with authority. 33 In the synagogue a man who had within him an evil spirit shouted in a loud voice, 34 "Jesus of Nazareth! What do you want with us? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are—God's Holy One!" 35 Jesus commanded the evil spirit, "Be quiet! Come out of the man!" The evil spirit threw the man down to the ground before all the people and then left the man without hurting him. 36 The people were amazed and said to each other, "What does this mean? With authority and power he commands evil spirits, and they come out." 37 And so the news about Jesus spread to every place in the whole area. 38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 He came to her side and commanded the fever to leave. It left her, and immediately she got up and began serving them. 40 When the sun went down, the people brought those who were sick to Jesus. Putting his hands on each sick person, he healed every one of them.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the fame: קןע [Strong's G2279], the sound; a very elegant metaphor, says Dr. Adam Clarke. The people are represented as struck with astonishment, and the sound goes out through all the coasts; in allusion to the propagation of sound by a smart stroke upon any substance. Luke 4:14, Isaiah 52:13, Matthew 4:23-25, Matthew 9:26, Mark 1:28, Mark 1:45, Mark 6:14

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this explained in the notes at Mark 1:21-39.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 37. The fame — ηχος, the sound. This is a very elegant metaphor. The people are represented as struck with astonishment, and the sound goes out through all the coasts; in allusion to the propagation of sound, by a smart stroke upon any substance, by which the air is suddenly agitated, and conveys the report made by the stroke to distant places. So this miracle was told to others by those who saw it, and they to others still, till it was heard through all the coasts of Galilee, Mark 1:28.
