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 Calling together the Twelve, Yeshua gave them power and authority to expel all the demons and to cure diseases;
2 and he sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal.
3 He said to them, "Take nothing for your trip -- neither a walking stick nor a pack, neither bread nor money; and don't have two shirts.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there and go out from there.
5 Wherever they don't welcome you, shake the dust from your feet when you leave that town as a warning to them."
