And the news
The Greek word for "news" here is "ἀκοή" (akoē), which can also mean "report" or "hearing." This suggests not just a casual mention but a significant report that captures attention. In the context of the first-century world, news was primarily spread orally, and the impact of such news would depend on the credibility and excitement of the message. The "news" about Jesus was not just any news; it was transformative, carrying the weight of divine authority and miraculous power.

about Jesus
The name "Jesus" is derived from the Hebrew "Yeshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation." This highlights the central theme of Jesus' mission on earth—to bring salvation to humanity. The news about Jesus was not merely about His teachings or miracles but about His identity as the Messiah, the anointed one sent by God to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament. This was a radical and revolutionary message that challenged existing religious structures and expectations.

spread quickly
The Greek word "εὐθύς" (euthys) is translated as "quickly" or "immediately," indicating the rapid dissemination of the news. This reflects the urgency and the compelling nature of Jesus' ministry. The immediate spread of the news suggests that the people who witnessed or heard about Jesus' works were deeply moved and felt an urgent need to share what they had experienced. This rapid spread can be seen as a testament to the power and authority of Jesus' actions and words.

through the whole region
The phrase "whole region" emphasizes the widespread impact of Jesus' ministry. The Greek word "ὅλος" (holos) means "whole" or "entire," indicating that the news was not confined to a small area but reached a broad audience. This suggests that Jesus' influence was not limited to a particular group or class but was accessible to all people in the region, regardless of their social or economic status.

of Galilee
Galilee was a significant region in the northern part of ancient Israel, known for its diverse population and cultural interactions. It was a fertile area, both agriculturally and spiritually, for the message of Jesus to take root. Historically, Galilee was often looked down upon by the religious elite in Jerusalem, yet it became the starting point for Jesus' ministry. This choice of location underscores the inclusive nature of Jesus' message and mission, reaching out to those on the margins and challenging societal norms.

Verse 28. - All the region round about Galilee; more literally, all the region of Galilee, round about; and the best readings add "everywhere" (πανταχοῦ εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον τῆς Γαλιλαίας). This is, of course, said by anticipation.
