Commentaries on Luke 4:30
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 30Passing through the midst of them - Either he shut their eyes so that they could not see him; or he so overawed them by his power as to leave them no strength to perform their murderous purpose. The man Christ Jesus was immortal till his time came; and all his messengers are immortal till their work is done. The following relation of a fact presents a scene something similar to what I suppose passed on this occasion: A missionary, who had been sent to a…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 30Passing through the midst of, them, went his way - This escape was very remarkable. It is remarkable that he should escape out of their hands when their very object was to destroy him, and that he should escape in so peaceful a manner, without violence or conflict. A similar case is recorded in John 8:59.

He came by the word of his gospel, to bring light to those that sat in the dark, and by the power of his…Read the comment

His time had not yet come (compare John 7:30, 44; 8:20, 59). This attempt to kill Jesus pointed ahead to his crucifixion. His escape also points ahead to his resurrection.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3030. passing through the midst, &c.--evidently in a miraculous way, though perhaps quite noiselessly, leading them to wonder afterwards what spell could have come over them, that they allowed Him to escape. (Similar escapes, however, in times of persecution, are not unexampled.)Read the comment
