Many Healed After Sabbath Sunset

40 aWhen the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.  
41 aAnd demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, b“You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, crebuking them, did not allow them to2 speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.  

Jesus Preaches in Galilee

42 aNow when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them;  
43 but He said to them, “I must apreach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.”  
44 aAnd He was preaching in the synagogues of1 Galilee.

Luke 4:42

And the people sought him - Rather, Sought him earnestly. Instead of , sought, I read, , earnestly sought. This reading is supported by ABCDFLMS - V, and more than seventy others. Wetstein and Griesbach have both received it into the text. The people had tasted the good word of God, and now they cleave to Christ with their whole heart. Hearing the words of Christ, and feeling the influence of his Spirit upon the soul, will attract and influence the heart; and indeed nothing else can do it.

And stayed him - Strove to detain him; they caught hold of him. Thus showing their great earnestness to be farther instructed.
