Lukas 9:3

3 En Hij zeide tot hen: Neemt niets mede tot den weg, noch staven, noch male, noch brood, noch geld; noch iemand van u zal twee rokken hebben.

Lukas 9:3 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:3

And he said unto them, take nothing for your journey
Throughout the towns and cities of Judea, where they were sent to preach the Gospel:

neither staves,
The Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions, read in the singular number, "neither staff, rod, or club"; and so it was in one of Beza's ancient copies, but in all the rest in the plural, as in Matthew; which last must be the true reading, since one staff was allowed, according as in ( Mark 6:8 ) though more than one were forbidden:

nor scrip;
or bag to put provision in; (See Gill on Matthew 10:10)

Neither bread, neither money;
gold, silver, or brass, to buy bread with; because they were to have it, wherever they came, given them, as their due, and the reward of their labour;

neither have two coats apiece;
the word "apiece" is left out in one copy, nor is it expressed in the Vulgate Latin and the eastern versions, which read as in ( Matthew 10:10 ) though the word does aptly and clearly express the sense of the prohibition, which was not that they should not have two coats among them, but not two apiece; or each man should not have two, or have change of raiment; (See Gill on Matthew 10:10)

Lukas 9:3 In-Context

1 En Zijn twaalf discipelen samengeroepen hebbende, gaf Hij hun kracht en macht over al de duivelen, en om ziekten te genezen.
2 En Hij zond hen heen, om te prediken het Koninkrijk Gods, en de kranken gezond te maken.
3 En Hij zeide tot hen: Neemt niets mede tot den weg, noch staven, noch male, noch brood, noch geld; noch iemand van u zal twee rokken hebben.
4 En in wat huis gij ook zult ingaan, blijft aldaar, en gaat van daar uit.
5 En zo wie u niet zullen ontvangen, uitgaande van die stad, schudt ook het stof af van uw voeten, tot een getuigenis tegen hen.
