Luke Chapter 4, Verse 20
From BibleWiki
20: και πτυξας το βιβλιον αποδους τω υπηρετη εκαθισεν και παντων εν τη συναγωγη οι οφθαλμοι ησαν ατενιζοντες αυτω
20: And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister,
and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue were fastened on him.
20: And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister
and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
And he closed the book. That is, he rolled it up again.
See "Lk 4:17".
And he gave it again to the minister. That is, to the one in the synagogue who had charge of the books. The word means servant, and the office was not much unlike that of a sexton now. It was his duty, among other things, to take charge of the books, to hand them to the reader of the law, and then return them to their place.
And sat down. This was usual in speaking in their synagogues. See "Mt 5:1".
Were fastened on him. Were intently fixed on him, waiting to see what explanation he would give of the words.
