Summary Of Luke 4:21-30 And With 2-3 Sentence Reflection
Summary of Luke 4:21-30 and with 2-3 sentence reflection
This is a summary of Luke 4:21-30. It is the shorter version of the Bible verses. To know the whole story, you can also read from Luke 4:16-30 summary or Luke 4:16-30 commentary.
Then He (Jesus) began to say to them, "Today, this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." All spoke well of Him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from His mouth.
They said, "Is not this Josephs son?" He said to them, "Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, Doctor, cure yourself! And you will say, Do here also in your hometown the things that we have heard you did at Capernaum." And He said, "Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in the prophets hometown. But the truth is, there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a severe famine over all the land; yet Elijah was sent to none of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. There were also many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."
When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with rage. They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they might hurl Him off the cliff. But He passed through the midst of them and went on his way.
Here is the reflection. This was based from various Luke 4:21-30 sermons.
In these bible verses, Jesus preached in His hometown after coming back from His miraculous journey with His disciples. The people doubted His works and tried to asked Him to perform the same miracles that He did to other places. But Jesus already knew what they were thinking and so He said, and I quote, "No prophet is accepted in the prophets hometown". Since the people saw how Jesus grew up, who His parents and family members were, they cannot believe that He became a famous and powerful person. Perhaps, Jesus wanted the people of Nazareth to purify their hearts and faith to be able to believe in the wonders of the Lord. His message might be that the Lord will do His part but He wants us to play our part as well.
