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 Then calling the Twelve together He conferred on them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases;

2 and sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to cure the sick.

3 And He commanded them, "Take nothing for your journey; neither stick nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have an extra under garment.

4 Whatever house you enter, make that your home, and from it start afresh.

5 Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them."
