Context of Matthew 4:23
21Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them, 22and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him. Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and He healed them. 25Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

Commentaries on Matthew 4:23
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 23Teaching in their synagogues - Synagogue, , from , together, and , I bring, a public assembly of persons, or the place where such persons publicly assembled. Synagogues, among the Jews, were not probably older than the return from the Babylonish captivity. They were erected not only in cities and towns, but in the country, and especially by rivers, that they might have water for the convenience of their frequent washings. Not less than ten persons of…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 23All Galilee - See the notes at Matthew 2:22. Synagogues - Places of worship, or places where the people assembled together to worship God. The origin of synagogues is involved in much obscurity. The sacrifices of the Jews were appointed to be held in one place, at Jerusalem. But there was nothing to forbid the other services of religion to be performed at any other place. Accordingly, the praises of God were sung in the schools of the prophets; and those…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-25Verses 23-25 Wherever Christ went, he confirmed his Divine mission by miracles, which were emblems of the healing power of his doctrine, and the influences of the Spirit which accompanied it. We do not now find the Saviour's miraculous healing power in our bodies; but if we are cured by medicine, the praise is equally his. Three general words are here used. He healed every sickness or disease; none was too bad; none too hard, for Christ to heal with a…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 23The Messiah's work focuses on three main activities: teaching … preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing. The synagogues were Jewish places for prayer, study, and discussing Scripture and tradition. They were also the social centers of many Jewish villages. The hypocrisy and hostility of Jewish leaders were obvious in the synagogues (Matthew 6:2, 5; 10:17; 12:9–14; 13:54; 23:6, 34). Preaching the gospel involves sharing the message about the…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2323. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues--These were houses of local worship. It cannot be proved that they existed before the Babylonish captivity; but as they began to be erected soon after it, probably the idea was suggested by the religious inconveniences to which the captives had been subjected. In our Lord's time, the rule was to have one wherever ten learned men or professed students of the law resided; and they extended…Read the comment
