Luke 10:9

9 and heal ye the sick men that be in that city. And say ye to them, The kingdom of God shall approach into you. [+and heal ye the sick men that be therein. And say ye to them, The kingdom of God shall come nigh into 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 And dwell ye in the same house [Forsooth in the same house dwell ye], eating and drinking those things that be at them; for a workman is worthy his hire. Do not ye pass from house into house.
8 And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat ye those things that be set to you;
9 and heal ye the sick men that be in that city. And say ye to them, The kingdom of God shall approach into you. [+and heal ye the sick men that be therein. And say ye to them, The kingdom of God shall come nigh into you.]
10 And into what city ye enter [Into whatever city ye shall enter], and they receive you not, go ye out into the streets of it, and say ye,
11 We wipe off against you the powder that cleaved to us of your city; nevertheless know ye this thing, that the realm of God shall come nigh.
