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 Jesus called the Twelve together and he gave them power and authority over all demons and to heal sicknesses.

2 He sent them out to proclaim God's kingdom and to heal the sick.

3 He told them, "Take nothing for the journey—no walking stick, no bag, no bread, no money, not even an extra shirt.

4 Whatever house you enter, remain there until you leave that place.

5 Wherever they don't welcome you, as you leave that city, shake the dust off your feet as a witness against them."
