Commentary

Commentary on Luke 4:29

Theological / Devotional

Rose up. The people of Nazareth were through listening before Jesus was through speaking. They “received him not” (John 1:11). Murder was in their hearts, even on the Sabbath day, and they were ready to destroy Him.

Brow of the hill. Literally, the “eyebrow of the hill,” that is, a prominence or projection of the hill. The so-called Mount of the Precipitation, the traditional site of this event, is situated outside Nazareth, beyond the limits of a Sabbath day’s journey. More probably the people took Him to a limestone cliff about 30 or 40 ft. (9 or 12 m.) high at the southwestern corner of the town, overhanging the Maronite convent.

Whereon. On the hill, not on its brow.
