What does Luke 4:14-15 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Luke again drew his readers" attention to the fact that Jesus was under the control of the Holy Spirit as He began His public ministry (cf. Luke 1:35; Luke 3:22; Luke 4:1). The Spirit empowered and enabled Jesus in His words and deeds. Luke would stress His teaching ministry. Luke attributed Jesus" success to His orientation to the Spirit, not His essential deity. Consequently He was a model that all believers can and should copy. Luke continued to stress the Holy Spirit"s ministry in Acts.
Everyone who had contact with Jesus praised Him, not just the Jews. This was the initial popular response to Him, and it is the normal initial response that Spirit-directed believers experience.
