Lucas 9:11 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:11

And the people, when they knew it
Having heard of his departure from others, and seeing him go off themselves:

followed him;
not by ship, but on foot, going over the bridge at Chainmath of Gadara, and got thither before Christ and his disciples did:

and he received them;
very kindly, and in a very affectionate manner, and with great respect, though they had prevented the private interview between him and his apostles;

and he spake unto them of the kingdom of God;
of the Gospel dispensation, now setting up, and of the doctrines and ordinances of it, of the governing principle of grace in the hearts of his people, and of the glory of the world to come:

and healed them that had need of healing;
for their bodies; as well as preached the doctrines of grace for the good of their souls; he both taught doctrine and wrought miracles.

Lucas 9:11 In-Context

9 Herodes, porém, disse: A João eu mandei degolar; quem é, pois, este a respeito de quem ouço tais coisas? E procurava vê-lo.

10 Quando os apóstolos voltaram, contaram-lhe tudo o que havia feito. E ele, levando-os consigo, retirou-se � parte para uma cidade chamada Betsaida.

11 Mas as multidões, percebendo isto, seguiram-no; e ele as recebeu, e falava-lhes do reino de Deus, e sarava os que necessitavam de cura.

12 Ora, quando o dia começava a declinar, aproximando-se os doze, disseram-lhe: Despede a multidão, para que, indo �s aldeias e aos sítios em redor, se hospedem, e achem o que comer; porque aqui estamos em lugar deserto.

13 Mas ele lhes disse: Dai-lhes vós de comer. Responderam eles: Não temos senão cinco pães e dois peixes; salvo se nós formos comprar comida para todo este povo.
