Contextual Overview

1 Jesus called his twelve apostles together. He gave them power to heal sicknesses and power to force demons out of people. 2 He sent them to tell about God's kingdom and to heal the sick. 3 He said to them, "When you travel, don't take a walking stick. Also, don't carry a bag, food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing. 4 When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave. 5 If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them." 6 So the apostles went out. They traveled through all the towns. They told the Good News and healed people everywhere. 7 Herod the ruler heard about all these things that were happening. He was confused because some people said, "John the Baptizer has risen from death." 8 Others said, "Elijah has come to us." And some others said, "One of the prophets from long ago has risen from death." 9 Herod said, "I cut off John's head. So who is this man I hear these things about?" Herod continued trying to see Jesus.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God,.... The Gospel, which gives an account of the kingdom of the Messiah; of his kingly office and power; of his church, which is his kingdom, and of the government of it, by the ministration of the word, and the administration of ordinances; of the kingdom of grace in the hearts of Christ's subjects, and the nature of it; and of the kingdom of glory, and what is the saints' meetness for it, and right unto it:

and to heal the sick; of every disease of body, and thereby confirm their mission and commission from Christ, to preach the Gospel; and recommend it to men.
