With sunset the Sabbath closed. δύνοντος is present participle of the late form δύνω = Svo.—évi ἑκάστῳ: laying His hands on each one, a touch peculiar to Lk., pointing, Godet thinks, to a separate source at Lk.’s command; much more certainly to Lk.’s desire to make pro- minent the benevolent sympathy of Jesus. Jesus did not heal ex masse, but one by one, tender sympathy going out from Him in each case. Intrinsically pro- bable, and worth noting. This trait in Lk. is in its own way as valuable as Mt.’s citation from Isaiah (viii. 17), and serves the same purpose.—Ver. 41. λέγοντα ὅτι, etc.: Lk. alone notes that the demons, in leaving their victims, bore witness in a despairing cry to the Divine Sonship of Jesus. God’s power in this Man, our power doomed. Again a tribute to the miraculous might of Jesus.
Vv. 42-44. Withdrawal from Caper- naum (Mk. i. 35-39). ---γενομένης ἡμέρας, when it was day, {.6., when people were up and could see Jesus’ movements, and accordingly followed Him. In Mk, Jesus departed very early before dawn, when all would be in bed; a kind of flight.—oit ὄχλοι: in Mk. Simon and those with him, other disciples. But of disciples Lk. as yet knows nothing.—
ἕως αὐτοῦ, to the place where He was. From the direction in which they had’ seen Him depart they had no difficulty in finding Him.—katetyov, they held Him back, from doing what He seemed inclined to do, z.e., from leaving them, with some of their sick still unhealed.— Ver. 43. ὅτι καὶ: the purpose of Jesus is the same in Lk. as in Mk., but differently expressed, in fuller, more developed terms, to preach the good news of the Kingdom of God. Of course all must hear the news; they could not gainsay that.—ameoradnv, I was sent, referring to His Divine mission; in place of Mk.’s ἐξῆλθον, referring to the purpose of Jesus in leaving Capernaum. Lk.’s version, compared with Mk.’s, is secondary, and in a different tone. Mk.’s realism is replaced by decorum: what it is fitting to make Jesus do and say. Flight eliminated, and a reference to His Divine mission substituted for an apology for flight. Vide notes on Mk. CHAPTER V. THE CALL OF PETER.
ΤΗΕ LEPER. THE PALSIED Μαν, THE Catt oF LEvi. FastTinc.—Vv. 1-11. The call of Peter. This narrative,
brought in later than the corresponding one in Mk., assumes larger dimensions and an altered character. Peter comes to the front, and the other three named.
