- 1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “ Take nothing for the journey —no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them.” 6 So they set...

Apr 19, 2016 · As we see in today's passage, after His time in Nazareth, Jesus sent out His disciples to preach, to heal, and to have authority over unclean spirits (vv. 7, 12–13). When the Twelve and Jesus ministered side by side, they could preach the gospel in only one locale at a time.

Jun 22, 2004 · Why would Jesus send His disciples out to the “boonies”—to the insignificant and remote villages of Galilee, when He would not go to the capital? It would seem today that Jesus would have been expected to go to Herod personally.

The training of Jesus' disciples has now reached a crucial juncture. In verses 1-2 we see a kind of rhythm. Gathering and sending, gathering and sending. "When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority ... and he sent them out...." (9:1-2) Why did he need to call them together (Greeksynkaleō)? Leon Morris makes an inter...
"When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases." (9:1) Once he has called them together, he gives them both power (Greek dunamis) and authority (Greek exousia). These are similar but distinct concepts, and you would do well to remember the distinction, since we see these wor...
"He gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick." (9:1-2) Notice in verses 1 and 2 first the power and authority, then the commission to preach and heal. Until now, the disciples had seen Jesus exercise awesome power over demons. Now he delegates ...
It is striking that the disciples are not just to preach, but "to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick" (9:2). Today, we preach and leave the healing to physicians. Or build hospitals that become divorced from the proclamation of the saving gospel that alone can make patients whole. But Jesus' message goes with action and demonstration. H...
"He told them: 'Take nothing for the journey -- no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic.'" (9:3) Jesus' instructions are curious. When I get ready to take a trip, I pack my bag with extra clothes, put in my overnight kit, take something to eat and drink in the car, and sometimes, stop by the ATM (automatic teller machine) on my way out...
"Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town." (9:4) Luke abbreviates Matthew's fuller explanation (Matthew 10:5-16), but the point is clear. The disciples are not to keep moving from one house to another in hopes of finding more comfortable lodgings and better food. They are to be content with the accommodations in the first hom...
"If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them." (9:5) This instruction sounds strange to twenty-first century ears, but not to Jewish ears in the first century. They would shake off the dust of a gentile city from their feet to remove what was ceremonially unclean before returning...
"So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere." (9:6) What a wonderful verse. Twelve men -- Mark tells us they are going out two by two (Mark 6:7) -- six teams, visiting village after village, declaring good tidings of great joy, preaching that the kingdom of God is at hand. And everywhere the...
"Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed, because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead, others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. But Herod said, 'I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?' And he tried ...
"When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida." (9:10) How long were they out on their mission? We aren't told. I would guess a week or two. What stories they had to tell! What an adventure to be on their own, and come back to tell Jesus ...
May 12, 2004 · At the beginning, there were the Twelve; by the middle of the first century, they were history—but they were indeed just that. And what was this history all about? Why did Jesus choose Twelve? Before we answer this question, one other supporting argument for the Twelve may be offered.

Apr 7, 2013 · When Jesus sent out His twelve Apostles, He commissioned them to proclaim His gospel in the world. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul continues his study in the book of Luke and explains the power and authority that Christ gave these men to fulfill their unique role.
