Context of Matthew 4:23

21A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them to come, too. 22They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind. Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. 24News about him spread as far as Syria, and people soon began bringing to him all who were sick. And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all. 25Large crowds followed him wherever he went—people from Galilee, the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, from all over Judea, and from east of the Jordan River.

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
