Luke 4:28

Heard these things; the things he had spoken in proof of the truth of what he had said, and in justification of his having wrought more miracles at Capernaum than at Nazareth. The most eminent Old Testament prophets, by the direction of God, had gone not only from their own town, but from their country, and wrought miracles among the heathen. He might justly do the same in the displays of his grace. Thus he showed that he claimed and exercised the right to bestow his unmerited favors upon such persons and places as he saw best; that they had no just claim to his wonderful works; and that his salvation was intended for the Gentile as well as the Jew.

Filled with wrath; very angry at his teaching such doctrines. When God bestows more of his unmerited favors on some than he does on others, many are tempted to complain. But they should consider, that for all which he does, he has the wisest and best reasons. Wisdom, duty, and interest, therefore, require that we should acquiesce, and say, "Even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight." It is an evidence of great depravity, when men complain that blessings are bestowed on others which they themselves reject.
