Lucas 9:1

Jesús envía a los doce

1 Habiendo reunido a los doce, Jesús les dio poder y autoridad para expulsar a todos los demonios y para sanar enfermedades.

Lucas 9:1 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:1

Then he called his twelve disciples together
The Persic version reads, "all his twelve disciples", the other nine, besides the three that were with him, when he raised Jairus's daughter, recorded in the foregoing chapter; the Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read, "the twelve apostles", for so Christ had named his disciples; (See Gill on Matthew 6:13). The Syriac version only reads, "his own twelve"; and this is agreeably to Luke's way of speaking; see ( Luke 8:1 ) ( 9:12 ) .

And gave them power and authority over all devils;
that is, all kinds of devils, particularly to cast them out of the bodies of men, possessed by them:

and to cure diseases;
of all sorts.

Lucas 9:1 In-Context

1 Habiendo reunido a los doce, Jesús les dio poder y autoridad para expulsar a todos los demonios y para sanar enfermedades.
2 Entonces los envió a predicar el reino de Dios y a sanar a los enfermos.
3 «No lleven nada para el camino: ni bastón, ni bolsa, ni pan, ni dinero, ni dos mudas de ropa —les dijo—.
4 En cualquier casa que entren, quédense allí hasta que salgan del pueblo.
5 Si no los reciben bien, al salir de ese pueblo, sacúdanse el polvo de los pies como un testimonio contra sus habitantes».
