SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:31–37: Jesus cast out an evil spirit

In Nazareth, people did not believe that Jesus was sent by God. In this section, Jesus went back to Capernaum (4:23d). Apparently, the people in Capernaum accepted him. There he commanded a demon to come out of a man. The people were amazed at both the authority and the power with which Jesus spoke.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Jesus Forces an Evil Spirit out of a Man (GW)

Jesus exorcises an evil spirit

There is a parallel passage for this section in Mark 1:21–28.

4:32a

They were astonished at His teaching,

They were astonished: The Greek word that the BSB translates as They were astonished means “they were overwhelmed” or “they were astounded.” Another way to translate this is:

they were amazed (NIV)

at His teaching: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as His teaching probably refers primarily to Jesus’ manner or style of teaching (See also the note for 4:32b). For example:

at the way he taught (GNT)

The phrase His teaching may also include the content and power of what Jesus taught.

4:32b

because His message had authority.

His message had authority: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as His message had authority is literally “his word was with authority.” Jesus spoke as someone who knew that what he said was true. He spoke with confidence and certainty. Another way to translate this is:

he spoke with authority

General Comment on 4:32a–b

In some languages it may be natural to change the order of 4:32a and 4:32b. For example:

32bHis message had authority, 32athat’s why the people were amazed at his teaching.

32bHe delivered his message with such authority 32athat the people were astounded.

Another possibility is to combine 32a–b and say:

When Jesus taught the people, they were astonished at the authority with which he spoke.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ

˱they˲_˓were_being˒_astonished (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπί τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐν ἐξουσίᾳ ἦν ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [his teaching amazed them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν ἐξουσίᾳ ἦν ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ

with authority was the word ˱of˲_him

Luke is using the term word to describe the things that Jesus taught by using words. Alternate translation: [he taught as one who had authority]
