And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
After the temptation in the wilderness He returned to Galilee. There He taught in their synagogues. In that teaching He was honored and glorified by all, receiving honor from the people who heard Him.
This public work in the synagogues came before His visit to Nazareth. At Nazareth He read Isaiah's prophecy announcing His appointed work of preaching good news to the poor, healing the brokenhearted, and bringing deliverance and freedom. His teaching and whole life-work were tender toward humanity. They were directed first to God's kingdom and righteousness.
His bringing of instruction into the synagogues shows that His ministry reached people in ordinary public and communal settings. It was not confined to speaking only from a pulpit or only in private.
