Luke 4:21

“And he began to say unto them, etc.] To preach from those words; the explanation of which he gave, though not here recorded, and applied them to himself, to whom they belonged, saying: this day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears; which is as if he should say, I am the person here spoken of; and at this present time the Spirit of God is upon me; I am anointed with the Holy Ghost, and now preach glad tidings to you, and all the good things here mentioned, and for the several ends proposed; and this Scripture has its full accomplishment which has been read unto you, and you have heard this day. So the Syriac version renders it, ˆwkyndabd, “which is in your ears”; that is, which you have…”

“began to say, &c.--His whole address was just a detailed application to Himself of this and perhaps other like prophecies.”

“This scripture - This writing, or this part of the Scriptures. Fulfilled - It is coming to pass; the thing originally intended by it is about to be accomplished. In your ears - In your “hearing;” or you hear, in my preaching, the fulfillment of this prophecy. It is probable that he said much “more” than is here recorded, but Luke has preserved only the “substance” of his discourse. This was the “amount” or “sum”” of his sermon, or his explanation of the passage, that it was now receiving its accomplishment. return to 'Top of Page'”
