Gospel Note
Luke probably intended his account of the passionate, near-violent response to Jesus' hometown sermon to prefigure the Nazarene's ultimate rejection at the hands of his own people, as well as the eventual extension of the Gospel to the Gentiles. Also implicit in this story, however, is the sense that human desires and expectations may well be thwarted by God's plans and by the actions of those servants who are responsive to God's bidding.
