Study note
Setting — The narrator records the immediate aftermath of Jesus’ synagogue teaching and exorcism, noting the crowd’s amazement before Jesus leaves to visit Simon and Andrew’s home.
The words — ἀκοὴ (akoē) means “news” or “report,” and εὐθὺς (euthus) specifies the immediate, rapid timing of its dissemination.
The thread — This pattern of rapidly spreading reports about Jesus appears in Matthew 9:31 and Luke 4:37.
Why it lands — The text states a factual claim about the speed and geographic scope of Jesus’ reputation following a public display of authority, requiring the reader to register the narrative’s emphasis on widespread witness before the account shifts to a private residence.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
