Luke 10:9

9 Heal the sick who live there, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near 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 Stay in the peaceful house, eating and drinking what the people there give you. A worker should be given his pay. Don't move from house to house.
8 If you go into a town and the people welcome you, eat what they give you.
9 Heal the sick who live there, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.'
10 But if you go into a town, and the people don't welcome you, then go into the streets and say,
11 'Even the dirt from your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. But remember that the kingdom of God is near.'
