to the north, is more mountainous. Traditionally this event has been associated with Mount Precipice (also known as the Mount of Precipitation), some from Nazareth, but scholars now argue that this is unlikely to have been the venue because it is further than a Sabbath day's walk from the city. Eric Franklin notes that Jesus' continuation "on his way" denotes not just his escape from peril but a movement towards his goal, Luke using the same verb, ἐπορεύετο, eporeueto, as he uses in , πορευεσθαι, poreuesthai, to indicate his steadfast journey towards Jerusalem. The event is perhaps also depicted, though not word for word, in Mark 6:1-6 and Matthew 13:53-58. Teaching and healing (4:31-41) Jesus goes to Capernaum and exorcises a possessed man in the synagogue, the first of Luke's 21 miracles. He goes to Simon's house and heals his sick mother-in-law. Mark 1 has this occur after Jesus called his disciples, while Luke puts that event into chapter 5. He heals more and more people, then retreats to the wilderness for solitary prayer. They come and find him there but he tells them that he must also go to the surrounding towns, where he is to travel and preach the good news of the Kingdom of God, "because that is why I was sent". This section, , is almost exactly the same as Mark and can also be partially found in . Johann Bengel notes: Here is Jesus’ "Creed": the reason for His many journeyings". Jesus preaches in Galilee (4:42-44) In verse 44, Luke affirms that Jesus continued preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. Some ancient manuscripts (א, B, C, L and other uncials) refer to τὰς συναγωγὰς τῆς Ἰουδαίας, tas synagōgas tēs Ioudaias, the synagogues of Judea.
