3 S8BCL 33 have εξηλθον, doubtless the true reading, changed into εξεληλυθα because the meaning was not understood and under the influence of Lk. Jesus is
explaining why He left Capernaum so hastily. + ηλθεν in NBL Cop. Aeth. verss. (Tisch., W.H.).

Peter, the chief of them, being thought of mainly. A strong term like ἐκβάλλει, ver. 12, all allowance made for weakened force in Hellenistic usage.—Ver. 37. πάντες ζητοῦσί σε, all seek Thee, not merely all the people of Capernaum, but all the world: ‘‘nemo non te quaerit,” Fritzsche; a colloquial exaggeration.— Ver. 38. ἄγωμεν: let us go, intransitive ; not so used in Greek authors.—kepomé- λεις, village towns; towns as to extent of population, villages as without walls (Kypke) ; Oppidula (Beza) ; here only in
. T., found in Strabo.—kxypvge: that there I may preach, no word of healing; because no part of His vocation (Kloster- mann) ; because subordinate to the preach- ing (Schanz).—é&q\8ov: I came out (from Capernaum, ver. 35). This may seem trivial (Keil), but it appears to be the real meaning, and it is so understood by Meyer, Weiss, Holtz., and even Schanz. The Fathers understood the words as meaning: ““Ι am come from heaven’’. So Keil. In this clause Weiss finds evi- dence that in Mk.’s narrative Jesus has no home in Capernaum. He has visited it, done good in it, and now He wants to go elsewhere.—Ver. 39. ἠἦλθεν (vide critical notes).—eis T. συν. may be connected with ἦλθεν, and the sentence will run thus: He came, preaching, to their synagogues,

all over Galilee ; also casting out devils, the healing ministry being referred to as subordinate to the teaching. If we con- nect els τὰς συν. with κηρύσσων the word “synagogues” will refer to the assemblies rather than to the places = preaching to their synagogues, as we might say “' preaching to their churches ”’ or “congregations”. For similar ex- pressions cf. xiii. 10, xiv. 9, John viii. 26. This short verse contains the record of an extensive preaching tour, of which not a single discourse has been pre- served. Doubtless some of the parables were spoken on these occasions. Note the synagogue, not the market place, was the scene of Christ’s addresses; His work religious, not political (Schanz). Vv. 40-45. The leper (Mt. viii. 1-4; Lk. v. 12-16).—Ver. 40. καὶ ἔρχεται, etc., and there cometh to Him, historic present as so often; where this happened not said, probably an incident of the preaching tour; ‘in one of the cities,” says Lk.—éav θέλῃς δύν.: the leper has seen or heard enough of Christ’s healing ministry to be sure as to the power. He doubts the will, naturally from the nature of the disease, especially if it be the first cure of the kind, or the first so far as the man knows.—Ver. 41. σπλαγχνισθεὶς, having compassion.
