Contextual Overview
14Then Jesus went back to the area around the Sea of Galilee. The Holy Spirit was ridin' with him like a saddlebag full of dynamite. There was nothing that could stop him. The news about Jesus spread like wildfire through the region.
15He gave clinics in the churches and everyone was amazed by him.
16Then Jesus rode over the hills and to his old stomping grounds of Nazareth. On the day of rest, he went like always to the local church.
17He stood up to read out of the Good Book and turned to Isaiah. He scanned through the verses and then read,
18 19I will announce that the time is now when the Lord will save his people."
20Jesus shut the book, handed it back, and sat down. Everyone in church was staring at him and you could've heard a pin drop. With all their eyes locked on him,
21he looked up and said, "All I read has come true today."
22They all agreed that what Jesus said and did was mighty impressive. They all wondered, "Isn't this Joseph's boy?"
23As they were all wonderin', he said, "About now y'all are going to start asking me about that old saying that goes, 'Doctor, cure yourself.' You're also fixing to ask me to start doing some of things you heard that I had done in Capernaum.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And many lepers were in Israel,.... The leprosy was a disease very common among the Jews; hence those laws concerning it in Leviticus 13:1 and it seems by this account, that it was very prevalent,
in the time of Eliseus the prophet; that is, the prophet Elisha; who, by the Septuagint, in 1Ki 19:16 and, in other places, is called "Elisaie": and none of them was cleansed; from their leprosy, by any direction of the prophet,
saving Naaman, the Syrian: or but Naaman, who was not an Israelite, but a Syrian: he was cleansed and cured of his leprosy, being ordered by Elisha to dip himself seven times in Jordan, which he did, and was healed, 2 Kings 5:14.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Many lepers - For an account of the leprosy see the notes at Matthew 8:1.
Time of Eliseus - Time of Elisha. The word âEliseusâ is the Greek way of writing the word Elisha, as Elias is of Elijah.
Saving Naaman the Syrian - The account of his cure is contained in 2 Kings 5:0.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 27. None of them was cleansed — This verse is to be understood as the 26th; for Naaman, being a Syrian, was no leper in Israel.
The meaning of these verses is, God dispenses his benefits when, where, and to whom he pleases. No person can complain of his conduct in these respects, because no person deserves any good from his hand. God never punishes any but those who deserve it; but he blesses incessantly those who deserve it not. The reason is evident: justice depends on certain rules; but beneficence is free. Beneficence can bless both the good and the evil; justice can punish the latter only. Those who do not make this distinction must have a very confused notion of the conduct of Divine Providence among men.
