Luke 4:31

And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
All Commentaries on Luke 4:31 Go To Luke 4

Bede

AD 735
The word of the teacher is with power, when he performs that which he teaches. Buthe who by his actions belies what he preaches is despised. As if he said, Abstain a while from troubling me, you who have no fellowship with our designs. But by the permission of God, the man who was to be delivered from the devil is thrown into the midst, that the power of the Savior being manifested might bring over many to the way of salvation. As it follows: And when he had thrown him in the midst. But this seems to be opposed to Mark, who says, And the unclean spirit tearing him, and crying with a loud voice, went out of him, unless we understand that Mark meant by tearing him the same as Luke by these words, And when he had thrown him in the midst, so that what follows, and hurt him not, might be understood to mean, that that twisting of limbs, and sore troubling, did not weaken him, as is often the case when devils depart from a man, leaving him with limbs cut and torn off. Well then do they wonder at such complete restoration of health. For it follows: And fear came upon all. Holy men were able by the word of God to cast out devils, but the Word Himself does mighty works by His own power.
