Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:1-6

1. The mission of the Twelve to Israel 9:1-6 (cf. Matthew 9:35-11:1; Mark 6:6b-13)This is another "sandwich" or chiastic section in design (cf. Luke 8:40-56). This structural device usually gives unity to the whole section and focuses attention on the central part of it. First, Jesus sent the Twelve on an evangelistic mission throughout Galilee. Luke filled in the period of their mission proper with information about how Herod Antipas and the people perceived Jesus. Third, the writer recorded... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:1-50

G. Jesus’ preparation of the Twelve 9:1-50In this last major section describing Jesus’ ministry in and around Galilee (Luke 4:14 to Luke 9:50), Luke stressed Jesus’ preparation of His disciples for the opposition that lay before them. This was the climax of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee, and these events formed a bridge to Luke’s unique major section on Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51 to Luke 19:10).Previously Luke recorded Jesus teaching and authenticating His teaching with miracles mainly... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:6

Luke summarized the mission of the Twelve briefly. "Everywhere" means everywhere in that region of Galilee (cf. Matthew 10:5-6). Luke probably left the word undefined so his Christian readers would see the parallel with the Great Commission.Thus Jesus’ disciples made a tour of Galilee two by two (Mark 6:7) as Jesus had made a tour of Galilee with them. They did as He had done preaching and healing (cf. Acts). read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 9:1-62

Healing the Sick Luke 9:2 It is the pressing task of the Christian Church to see, first, that the faith of Christ shall not be reduced to mere philanthropy; secondly, that it shall earnestly appropriate all that is good in human life, and animate, elevate, and enlarge it by making it the expression of Christian faith and love. The particular good in human life to which we shall now apply Christian principles is the noble work of healing the sick. I. The healing of the sick as a part of the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 9:1-17

Chapter 17THE MIRACLE OF THE LOAVES.Luke 9:1-17THE Galilean ministry was drawing to a close, for the "great Light" which had risen over the northern province must now move southward, to set behind a cross and a grave. Jesus, however, is reluctant-to leave these borders, amid whose hills the greater part of His life has been spent, and among whose composite population His greatest successes have been won, without one last effort. Calling together the Twelve, who hitherto have been Apostles in... read more
