Luke 4:43

ταῖς ἑτέραις πόλεσιν. ‘To the rest of the cities.’ In St Mark He says, ‘Let us go elsewhere to the adjoining country villages.’

εὐαγγελίσασθαι. ‘Tell the glad tidings of.’ In the next verse we have the different verb κηρύσσω.

δεῖ. ‘It behoves me’—the ‘must’ of moral obligation.

τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ. The acceptance of the Faith of Christ, whether in the heart or in the world, was illustrated by Christ in its small beginnings,—the mustard seed (Luke 13:19); in its hidden working (Luke 13:21); and in its final triumph.

ἀπεστάλην. ‘I was sent;’ which is equally true in one aspect with ἐξελήλυθα, ‘I have come forth.’ Mark 1:38.
