Luke 9:1

1 convocatis autem duodecim apostolis dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia daemonia et ut languores curarent

Luke 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.

Luke 9:1 In-Context

1 convocatis autem duodecim apostolis dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia daemonia et ut languores curarent

2 et misit illos praedicare regnum Dei et sanare infirmos

3 et ait ad illos nihil tuleritis in via neque virgam neque peram neque panem neque pecuniam neque duas tunicas habeatis

4 et in quamcumque domum intraveritis ibi manete et inde ne exeatis

5 et quicumque non receperint vos exeuntes de civitate illa etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos
