Luke 4:28

4:28 When they heard this, all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage.

Luke 6:11

6:11 But they were filled with mindless rage and began debating with one another what they would do to Jesus.


tn The words “the people” are not in the Greek text but have been supplied.

tn The term ἄνοια (anoia) denotes a kind of insane or mindless fury; the opponents were beside themselves with rage. They could not rejoice in the healing, but could only react against Jesus.

tn The use of the optative (ποιήσαιεν, poihsaien, “might do”) in an indirect question indicates that the formal opposition and planning of Jesus’ enemies started here (BDF §§385.1; 386.1).
