This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
15. καὶ αὐτὸς ἐδίδασκεν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν, δοξαζόμενος ὑπὸ πάντων. ‘And He Himself was teaching in their synagogues.’ ‘He Himself,’ in contrast with the rumour about Him in Luk 4:14. The word αὐτὸς in this Gospel comes to mean ‘the Master,’ as a sort of the title of honour, as in the “αὐτὸς ἔφα”—‘the Master said it’ of the Pythagoreans. The verse shews that the journey from Sychar to Nazareth was not direct but leisurely; and it is remarkably confirmed by Joh 4:45, who accounts for the favourable reception of Jesus in Galilee by saying that they had seen “all the things that He did at Jerusalem at the feast.”
