What does Luke 4:37 mean?

Luke noted, earlier, that Jesus' preaching and healing made a great impact on the region of Galilee (Luke 4:14–15). His teaching was impressive (Luke 4:22). It demonstrated confidence and assurance, with the tone of someone speaking from their own first-hand wisdom (Luke 4:31–32). Jesus further demonstrated His divine power through miracles. One example was the healing of a man in the synagogue in Capernaum (Luke 4:33–35). Those who witnessed this exorcism noted that Jesus was able to remove the demon with a single command (Luke 4:36).

As news spreads, Jesus will have the opportunity to heal many more people (Luke 4:40). Before long, He will seek rest from the constant crowds (Luke 4:42) and adapt His speaking venues to accommodate more people (Luke 5:1–3).
