What does Luke 4:44 mean?

In the prior verse, Jesus explained why He could not stay in the area near Simon Peter's home (Luke 4:38–42). His godly mission was to visit other places and other people. This meant traveling to different towns and synagogues to deliver the good news of God (Luke 4:14–15; Matthew 4:17).

The exact region in which Jesus preached, at this phase of His ministry, is not clear from this verse. Some manuscripts say "Judea," implying the areas relatively close to Jerusalem. This same term might refer to the entire territory of Israel at that time. A few manuscripts indicate "Galilee," north of Judea proper, and closer to the Sea of Galilee. In any case, Jesus is moving from place to place while healing and teaching.
