Luke 10:9

9 Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

Luke 10:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 10:9

And heal the sick that are therein
Of all their bodily diseases, which would not only show their power and warrant, theft mission and commission, but also their goodness and beneficence to men; and would be a sufficient return for what they ate and drank:

and say unto them;
not only to the sick that are healed, and those in the house in which they were, but to all the inhabitants of the city;

the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you:
the Gospel dispensation, the kingdom of the Messiah, and even the Messiah himself, as might be concluded from the miracles they wrought; and thus by their ministry and works, were they to go before Christ, and prepare his way.

Luke 10:9 In-Context

7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don't go from house to house.

8 Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

9 Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

10 But into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go out into the streets of it and say,

11 'Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near to you.'
