Luke 9:2 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:2

And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God
The Gospel, which gives an account of the kingdom of the Messiah; of his kingly office and power; of his church, which is his kingdom, and of the government of it, by the ministration of the word, and the administration of ordinances; of the kingdom of grace in the hearts of Christ's subjects, and the nature of it; and of the kingdom of glory, and what is the saints' meetness for it, and right unto it:

and to heal the sick;
of every disease of body, and thereby confirm their mission and commission from Christ, to preach the Gospel; and recommend it to men.

Luke 9:2 In-Context

1 Calling together the Twelve, Yeshua gave them power and authority to expel all the demons and to cure diseases;

2 and he sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal.

3 He said to them, "Take nothing for your trip -- neither a walking stick nor a pack, neither bread nor money; and don't have two shirts.

4 Whatever house you enter, stay there and go out from there.

5 Wherever they don't welcome you, shake the dust from your feet when you leave that town as a warning to them."
