This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
By the Spirit (ἐν τῷ πνεύματι)
Lit., as Rev., “in the Spirit'” the Holy Spirit prompting him. Indicating rather his spiritual condition, as one who walked with God, than a special divine impulse.
After the custom (κατὰ τὸ εἰθισμένον)
Lit., according to that which was wont to be done. Only here in New Testament; and the kindred words, ἔθος custom, and ἔθω, to be accustomed, occur more frequently in Luke than elsewhere. Very common in medical writings.
