Luke 9:5-14 BSB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 9:1-9

We have here, I. The method Christ took to spread his gospel, to diffuse and enforce the light of it. He had himself travelled about, preaching and healing; but he could be only in one place at a time, and therefore now he sent his twelve disciples abroad, who by this time were pretty well instructed in the nature of the present dispensation, and able to instruct others and deliver to them what they had received from the Lord. Let them disperse themselves, some one way and some another, to... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 9:10-17

We have here, I. The account which the twelve gave their Master of the success of their ministry. They were not long out; but, when they returned, they told him all that they had done, as became servants who were sent on an errand. They told him what they had done, that, if they had done any thing amiss, they might mend it next time. II. Their retirement, for a little breathing: He took them, and went aside privately into a desert place, that they might have some relaxation from business and... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 9:1-9

9:1-9 Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to cure those who were ill. He said to them, "Take nothing for the road, neither a staff nor a wallet, nor bread nor money, nor two tunics. Whatever house you go into, stay there, and leave from there. As for whoever do not receive you--when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as evidence against them." So they... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 9:10-17

9:10-17 When the apostles returned they told Jesus all that they had done. So he took them and withdrew privately to a place called Bethsaida. When the crowds found out where he was they followed him; and he welcomed them, and talked to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing. The day began to draw to a close. The Twelve came to him. "Send the crowd away," they said, "that they may go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find some place to stay and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 9:6

And they departed ,.... That is, the apostles, as the Syriac and Persic versions express it: they went from Christ, and the place where he was, from Capernaum, at least from some place in Galilee: and went through the towns ; the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions add, "and cities"; that is, of Judea, as well as Galilee, even the whole land of Israel: preaching the Gospel ; which explains what is meant by the kingdom of God, Luke 9:2 and healing everywhere; all sorts of bodily... read more

Now Herod the tetrarch ,.... Of Galilee, and who is called a king in Mark 6:14 as he is here in the Ethiopic version: heard of all that was done by him ; of all the miracles that were wrought by Christ, and his apostles; the fame of which were the more spread through the mission of the apostles, and the journey they took through all the towns and cities of Galilee, which were in Herod's jurisdiction; by which means he, and his court, came to the knowledge of them, the whole country,... read more

And of some, that Elias had appeared ,.... Who had been translated, body and soul, to heaven, and whom the Jews expected a little before the coming of the Messiah: and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again; that is, one of the former prophets. It is well known, that the Jews distinguish the prophets into the former and latter; the books of the prophets of the Old Testament are so distinguished; the writings of the former prophets are those of Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 9:9

And Herod said, John have I beheaded ,.... That is, he had ordered him to be beheaded, and which was accordingly done by the executioner; of which he had full proof, since the head was brought him in a charger, and which he delivered to the daughter of Herodias: but who is this of whom I hear such things ? such, wonderful things, such amazing miracles, as were done by Christ: he seems to have reasoned after this manner with himself, surely this cannot be John, for I have beheaded him!... read more

And the apostles, when they were returned ,.... From the several parts of the land where they had been sent, and had been preaching and working miracles, having gone through their circuit, and finished the service they were sent to do: told him all they had done ; what doctrines they had taught, how they had been received, and what success they met with, what miracles they had wrought, how they had dispossessed devils, and healed all sorts of diseases: and he took them and went aside... read more
