Luke 4:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Luke 4:16
Jesus 'came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.' The phrase 'as his custom was' (Greek 'kata to eiōthos autō,' κατὰ τὸ εἰωθὸς αὐτῷ) reveals Jesus' regular Sabbath synagogue attendance—His pattern of worship and Scripture engagement. Despite His unique identity, He participated faithfully in community worship. His standing to read indicated His intention to teach, exercising the privilege extended to visiting teachers. This scene inaugurates His public ministry in His hometown.
