SCRIPTURE

"And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about." — Luke 4:14 (ASV)

Returned in the power of the Spirit.—The phrase, which meets us again in Romans 15:13, indicates a new phase of the life of the Son of Man, a change from its former tenor as striking as that which passed over the Apostles on the day of Pentecost, when new powers of thought and utterance were developed which had before been latent.
