Albert Barnes Commentary Luke 4:29

"and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong." — Luke 4:29 (ASV)

The brow of the hill on which, and so on. The region in which Nazareth was is hilly, though Nazareth was situated between two hills, or in a valley among mountains. The place to which they led the Saviour is still shown, and is called the Mount of Precipitation. It is at a short distance to the south of Nazareth.

See Barnes on Matthew 2:23.

Cast him down. This was the effect of a popular tumult. They had no legal right to take life on any occasion, and least of all in this furious and irregular manner. The whole transaction shows—

1. That the character given of the Galileans elsewhere as being peculiarly wicked was a just one.
2. To what extremities the wickedness of the heart will lead men when it is acted out.
3. And that men are opposed to the truth, and that they would do anything, if not restrained, to manifest their opposition.
