Notes

Luke 4:28

The people in the synagogue were angry because Jesus mentioned that God had shown favor to Gentiles (non-Jewish people). Many Jews believed that only they received God’s favor. They were also living under Roman rule, and Gentiles ruled over them. So Jesus’s words felt very offensive to them.

Luke 4:16–30

The sermon Jesus gave in Nazareth showed what his whole public ministry would be about. He returned to the synagogue in his hometown to announce the good news that God’s salvation had come. The people were pleased at first. But then Jesus reminded them that God also reaches out to Gentiles, not only to Jews. This made the crowd so angry that they tried to kill him.
