“And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.”
Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside — the return to Galilee in the power of the Spirit is the transition from the wilderness testing to the public ministry. The power of the Spirit (en tē dynamei tou pneumatos) communicates that the forty-day testing has not weakened but confirmed the Spirit's empowerment. News spreading through the whole countryside anticipates the Galilean ministry's geographic reach.
