Luke 9:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:6

And they departed
That is, the apostles, as the Syriac and Persic versions express it: they went from Christ, and the place where he was, from Capernaum, at least from some place in Galilee:

and went through the towns;
the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions add, "and cities"; that is, of Judea, as well as Galilee, even the whole land of Israel:

preaching the Gospel;
which explains what is meant by the kingdom of God, ( Luke 9:2 ) and healing everywhere; all sorts of bodily diseases, wherever they came.

Luke 9:6 In-Context

4 Whatever house you enter, remain there until you leave that place.
5 Wherever they don't welcome you, as you leave that city, shake the dust off your feet as a witness against them."
6 They departed and went through the villages proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
7 Herod the ruler heard about everything that was happening. He was confused because some people were saying that John had been raised from the dead,
8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.
