And he began to say unto them,
This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
All Commentaries on Luke 4:21 Go To Luke 4
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
By this Christ wished to show that he was the Messias foretold by the prophet Isaias, whom they so anxiously expected: he declares himself to be the person pointed out by the prophet. There seems also to be a secret reprehension in these words of Christ; as if he were to say: Why are you so desirous to behold the Messias, whom, when he is before your eyes, you will not receive? Why do you seek him in the prophets, when you neither understand the prophets, nor perceive the truth of their predictions, when they are fulfilled before you eyes? (Maldonatus)
