Luke 7
1. Jesus finds a greater faith in the centurion;
10. heals his servant, being absent;
11. raises from death the widow's son at Nain;
18. answers John's messengers with the declaration of his miracles;
24. testifies to the people what opinion he held of John;
31. compares this generation to the children in the marketplaces,
36. and allowing his feet to be washed and anointed by a woman who was a sinner,

This news
The phrase "this news" refers to the reports of Jesus' miraculous works, particularly the raising of the widow's son in Nain, which had just occurred. In the Greek, the word used is "logos," which can mean word, message, or report. This highlights the power of spoken testimony in spreading the Gospel. Historically, oral tradition was a primary means of communication, and the rapid spread of news about Jesus' miracles underscores the impact of His ministry on the people of that time.

about Jesus
The focus here is on Jesus, the central figure of the Gospel. The name "Jesus" is derived from the Hebrew "Yeshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation." This emphasizes His role as the Savior and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. In the context of Luke's Gospel, Jesus is portrayed as the compassionate and powerful Messiah, whose actions and teachings reveal the nature of God's kingdom.

spread
The Greek word "exerchomai" is used here, meaning to go out or spread abroad. This indicates the dynamic and unstoppable nature of the Gospel message. The early Christian movement was characterized by its rapid expansion, driven by the transformative power of Jesus' life and works. The spreading of this news is a testament to the compelling nature of Jesus' ministry and the work of the Holy Spirit in disseminating the truth.

throughout Judea
Judea was the southern region of ancient Israel, a significant area in Jewish history and culture. It was the heartland of Jewish religious life, containing Jerusalem and the Temple. The mention of Judea signifies the initial geographical focus of Jesus' ministry and the fulfillment of God's promises to His chosen people. It also sets the stage for the Gospel's eventual spread to the Gentiles, as foretold in the Scriptures.

and all the surrounding region
This phrase indicates the broader impact of Jesus' ministry beyond Judea. The surrounding region would include areas like Galilee and Samaria, highlighting the inclusive nature of Jesus' mission. The Gospel's reach into these areas foreshadows the universal scope of Christ's message, breaking down barriers between Jews and Gentiles and fulfilling the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations. This expansion reflects the early church's mission and the transformative power of the Gospel to transcend cultural and geographical boundaries.

(17) This rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea.--Nain itself was in Galilee, and St. Luke apparently names Judaea, as wishing to show how far the fame of the miracle had spread.
