“They got up.
They drove Jesus
Out of town.
They led him
To the ridge
Of the hill
On which their town
Was built.
They wanted
To hurl him
Off the cliff.”
καὶ ἀναστάντες ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἕως ὀφρύος τοῦ ὄρους ἐφ’ οὗ ἡ πόλις ᾠκοδόμητο αὐτῶν, ὥστε κατακρημνίσαι αὐτόν·
Luke alone said that they acted out their anger. They got up (καὶ ἀναστάντες) from the synagogue. They drove Jesus out of town (ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως). They led him to the top or the ridge of the hill (καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἕως ὀφρύος τοῦ ὄρους) on which their town was built (ἐφ’ οὗ ἡ πόλις ᾠκοδόμητο αὐτῶν). They wanted to hurl him off the cliff (ὥστε κατακρημνίσαι αὐτόν). One problem is that Nazareth was a flat town with no hills or cliffs. Some commentators say that they meant to stone him, but the text does not say that. However, they did not like his teachings about going to non-Jewish people and not doing any miracles in his home town.
