A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 4:37

"And there went forth a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about." — Luke 4:37 (ASV)

Went forth a rumour (εξεπορευετο ηχος). Imperfect middle, kept on going forth. Our very word εχο in this word. Late Greek form for ηχω in the old Greek. Used for the roar of the waves on the shore. So in Lu 21:25. Vivid picture of the resounding influence of this day's work in the synagogue, in Capernaum.
