Luke 4:15

ἐδίδασκεν : summary reference to Christ's preaching ministry in the Galilean synagogues. αὐτῶν refers to Γαλιλαίαν, Luke 4:14, and means the Galileans; construction ad sensum. δοξαζόμενος : equally summary statement of the result general admiration. Lk. is hurrying on to the following story, which, though not the first incident in the Galilean ministry (Luke 4:14-15 imply the contrary), is the first he wishes to narrate in detail. He wishes it to serve as the frontispiece of his Gospel, as if to say: ex primo disce omnia. The historic interest in exact sequence is here subordinated to the religious interest in impressive presentation; quite legitimate, due warning being given.
