{Returned} (hupestrepsen). Luke does not fill in the gap
between the temptations in the wilderness of Judea and the
Galilean Ministry. He follows the outline of Mark. It is John's
Gospel alone that tells of the year of obscurity (Stalker) in
various parts of the Holy Land. {In the power of the Spirit} (en
t(8869) dunamei tou pneumatos). Luke in these two verses ( 14,15 )
gives a description of the Galilean Ministry with three marked
characteristics (Plummer): the power of the spirit, rapid spread
of Christ's fame, use of the Jewish synagogues. Luke often notes
the power of the Holy Spirit in the work of Christ. Our word
dynamite is this same word dunamis (power). {A fame} (ph(886d)(885c)).
An old Greek word found in the N.T. only here and Mt 9:26 . It
is from ph(886d)i, to say. Talk ran rapidly in every direction. It
assumes the previous ministry as told by John.
