<p>4:44 <i>And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee</i>- As with Paul's ministry, the openness of the synagogues to visiting teachers was well used by the Lord. <i>&quot;</i>Went about&hellip; teaching&hellip; preaching&hellip; healing&quot; (Mt. 4:23) is just what we read of the Lord's followers doing in Acts. The preaching of the apostles (and of ourselves) continues the personal work of the Lord in whom they lived and moved, and therefore often Acts records the preaching work in language lifted from Luke as well as the other Gospel records (e.g. Acts 4:2; 5:12-16 = Mt. 4:23).&nbsp;</p>
