Context of Luke 4:28

26Elijah was not sent to any of them, but only to Zarephath in the land of Sidon, to a widowed woman. 27There were many with tza'arat in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them were purified apart from Naaman the Syrian.” Now all in the synagogue were filled with rage upon hearing these things. 29Rising up, they drove Him out of the town and brought Him as far as the edge of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him off the cliff. 30But passing through the middle of them, He went on His way.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-30Verses 14-30 Christ taught in their synagogues, their places of public worship, where they met to read, expound, and apply the word, to pray and praise. All the gifts and graces of the Spirit were upon him and on him, without measure. By Christ, sinners may be loosed from the bonds of guilt, and by his Spirit and grace from the bondage of corruption.
