6 And they departed and went through the towns, preaching the Gospel and healing everywhere.

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 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide and thence depart.

5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them."

6 And they departed and went through the towns, preaching the Gospel and healing everywhere.

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that had been done by Him. And he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead;

8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets was risen again.
