SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:37
Y la fama de l se divulgaba en todas partes por todos los lugares de la comarca.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 4:37
Verse 37. The fame] hcov, the sound. This is a very elegant metaphor. The people are represented as struck with astonishment, and the sound goes out through all the coasts; in allusion to the propagation of sound, by a smart stroke upon any substance, by which the air is suddenly agitated, and conveys the report made by the stroke to distant places. So this miracle was told to others by those who saw it, and they to others still, till it was heard through all the coasts of Galilee, Mark i. 28.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 37. And the fame of him went out , etc.] From hence on account of his dispossessing this unclean spirit, which seems to be the first instance of this kind: into every place in the country round about ; into every city, town, and village in Galilee, and even into all places round about Galilee; ( Mark 1:28).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-44 - Christ's preaching much affected the people; and a working power wen with it to the consciences of men. These miracles showed Christ to be controller and conqueror of Satan, a healer of diseases. Where Chris gives a new life, in recovery from sickness, it should be a new life spent more than ever in his service, to his glory. Our business shoul be to spread abroad Christ's fame in every place, to beseech him in behalf of those diseased in body or mind, and to use our influence in bringing sinners to him, that his hands may be laid upon them for their healing. He cast the devils out of many who were possessed. We were no sent into this world to live to ourselves only, but to glorify God, an to do good in our generation. The people sought him, and came unto him A desert is no desert, if we are with Christ there. He will continu with us, by his word and Spirit, and extend the same blessings to othe nations, till, throughout the earth, the servants and worshippers of Satan are brought to acknowledge him as the Christ, the Son of God, an to find redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
37. The fame (hcov). Lit., noise. Rev., rumor. Only here, chapter xxi. 25, where the correct reading is hcouv, the roaring, and Acts ii. 2. Hebrews xii. 19 is a quotation from the Septuagint. It is the word used in Acts ii. 2 of the mighty rushing wind at Pentecost. Mark uses ajkoh, in its earlier sense of a report. The same word occurs in Luke, but always in the sense in which medical writers employed it - hearing or the ears. See chapter vii. 1; Acts xvii. 20; xxviii. 26. Hcov was the medical tem for sound in the ears or head. Hippocrates uses both words together: "the ears (akoai) are full of sound (hcou);' and Aretaeus of the noise of the sea, as Luke xxi. 25.38-41. Compare Matt. viii. 14-17; Mark i. 29-34.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
4:37 {Went forth a rumour} (exeporeueto ecos). Imperfect middle, kept on going forth. Our very word echo in this word. Late Greek form for ecw in the old Greek. Used for the roar of the waves on the shore. So in #Lu 21:25. Vivid picture of the resounding influence of this day's work in the synagogue, in Capernaum.
