Contextual Overview

14Then Jesus went back to the area around the Sea of Galilee. The Holy Spirit was ridin' with him like a saddlebag full of dynamite. There was nothing that could stop him. The news about Jesus spread like wildfire through the region. 15He gave clinics in the churches and everyone was amazed by him. 16Then Jesus rode over the hills and to his old stomping grounds of Nazareth. On the day of rest, he went like always to the local church. 17He stood up to read out of the Good Book and turned to Isaiah. He scanned through the verses and then read, 18 19I will announce that the time is now when the Lord will save his people." 20Jesus shut the book, handed it back, and sat down. Everyone in church was staring at him and you could've heard a pin drop. With all their eyes locked on him, 21he looked up and said, "All I read has come true today." 22They all agreed that what Jesus said and did was mighty impressive. They all wondered, "Isn't this Joseph's boy?" 23As they were all wonderin', he said, "About now y'all are going to start asking me about that old saying that goes, 'Doctor, cure yourself.' You're also fixing to ask me to start doing some of things you heard that I had done in Capernaum.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he taught in their synagogues,.... In the public places of worship used by the Galilaeans, where they met on sabbath days and weekdays, to read and pray, and hear the Scriptures expounded; and Christ engaging here as a public teacher, was the reason of his fame being spread around the country:

being glorified of all; that heard him: they were astonished at his doctrine; they wondered at his gracious words; they praised him as a preacher; and glorified him, and God for him, because of the mighty works which were done by him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Glorified of all - Praised by all; or, all were pleased with his instructions, and admired his wisdom.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 4:15. And he taught in their synagogues — We do not find that even the persecuting Jews ever hindered Christ or his disciples from preaching in their synagogues. Is it the same in every place where even the Christian religion is established by law? Would Jesus, or his apostles, or their most Scriptural representatives, be permitted to preach in one out of a thousand churches, in certain countries, unless they were strictly conformed to their external ecclesiastical customs? Nor even then, unless their doctrine were according to the taste of the managers and of the times.

Glorified of all. — All felt the power of his preaching, and acknowledged the divinity of his mission. The scandal of the cross had not yet taken place.
