Expositor's Greek Testament (Nicoll)

Luke 4:43

ὅτι καὶ : the purpose of Jesus is the same in Lk. as in Mk., but differently expressed, in fuller, more developed terms, to preach the good news of the Kingdom of God. Of course all must hear the news; they could not gainsay that. ἀπεστάλην, I was sent, referring to His Divine mission; in place of Mk.'s ἐξῆλθον, referring to the purpose of Jesus in leaving Capernaum. Lk.'s version, compared with Mk.'s, is secondary, and in a different tone. Mk.'s realism is replaced by decorum : what it is fitting to make Jesus do and say. Flight eliminated, and a reference to His Divine mission substituted for an apology for flight. Vide notes on Mk.
