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 disciples together and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases.

2 Then he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick,

3 after saying to them, "Take nothing with you for the trip: no walking stick, no beggar's bag, no food, no money, not even an extra shirt.

4 Wherever you are welcomed, stay in the same house until you leave that town;

5 wherever people don't welcome you, leave that town and shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them."
