Luke 9:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:6

And they departed
That is, the apostles, as the Syriac and Persic versions express it: they went from Christ, and the place where he was, from Capernaum, at least from some place in Galilee:

and went through the towns;
the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions add, "and cities"; that is, of Judea, as well as Galilee, even the whole land of Israel:

preaching the Gospel;
which explains what is meant by the kingdom of God, ( Luke 9:2 ) and healing everywhere; all sorts of bodily diseases, wherever they came.

Luke 9:6 In-Context

4 When you go into a home, stay there until you're ready to leave.
5 If people don't welcome you, leave that city, and shake its dust off your feet as a warning to them."
6 The apostles went from village to village, told the Good News, and cured the sick everywhere.
7 Herod the ruler heard about everything that was happening. He didn't know what to make of it. Some people were saying that John had come back to life.
8 Others said that Elijah had appeared, and still others said that one of the prophets from long ago had come back to life.
