Contextual Overview

1 Jesus called the twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases. 2 Then he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick, 3 after saying to them, "Take nothing with you for the trip: no walking stick, no beggar's bag, no food, no money, not even an extra shirt. 4 Wherever you are welcomed, stay in the same house until you leave that town; 5 wherever people don't welcome you, leave that town and shake the dust off your feet as a warning to them." 6 The disciples left and traveled through all the villages, preaching the Good News and healing people everywhere. 7 When Herod, the ruler of Galilee, heard about all the things that were happening, he was very confused, because some people were saying that John the Baptist had come back to life. 8 Others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. 9 Herod said, "I had John's head cut off; but who is this man I hear these things about?" And he kept trying to see Jesus.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then he called his twelve disciples together,.... The Persic version reads, "all his twelve disciples", the other nine, besides the three that were with him, when he raised Jairus's daughter, recorded in the foregoing chapter; the Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read, "the twelve apostles", for so Christ had named his disciples; :-. The Syriac version only reads, "his own twelve"; and this is agreeably to Luke's way of speaking; see Luke 8:1.

And gave them power and authority over all devils; that is, all kinds of devils, particularly to cast them out of the bodies of men, possessed by them:

and to cure diseases; of all sorts.

The apostles return and relate the success of their mission. He

goes to a retired place, and the people follow him, 10, 11.

12-17.

He asks his disciples what the public think of him, 18-21.

Cures a demoniac, 37-43.

Again foretells his passion, 44, 45.

The disciples contend who shall be greatest, 46-48.

Of the person who cast out devils in Christ's name, but did not

associate with the disciples, 49, 50.

Of the Samaritans who would not receive him, 51-56.

Of the man who wished to follow Jesus, 57, 58.

He calls another disciple who asks permission first to bury his

father, 59.

Our Lord's answer 60-62.

NOTES ON CHAP. IX.

Verse Luke 9:1. Power and authority — δυναμιν και εξουσιαν. The words properly mean here, the power to work miracles; and that authority by which the whole demoniac system was to be subjected to them. The reader will please to observe:

1. That Luke mentions both demons and diseases; therefore he was either mistaken, or demons and diseases are not the same.

2. The treatment of these two was not the same:-the demons were to be cast out, the diseases to be healed. See Matthew 10:1.
