Luke 9:1-8

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:1-9

1-9 Christ sent his twelve disciples abroad, who by this time were able to teach others what they had received from the Lord. They must not be anxious to commend themselves to people's esteem by outward appearance. They must go as they were. The Lord Jesus is the fountain of power and authority, to whom all creatures must, in one way or another, be subject; and if he goes with the word of his ministers in power, to deliver sinners from Satan's bondage, they may be sure that he will care for... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 9:1-99

Luke 9 THE DISCIPLES HAD now had full opportunity of learning their Master’s spirit and methods and power; so they were sent forth, and verses Luke 9.1-9.6 tell us how they were commissioned. “Then He called . . . and gave . . . He sent . . . He said . . .” The order of the four verbs is very instructive. His is the choice and not ours. But then He not only calls but also gives the authority and power adequate for the service to which He calls. Not until that power is given does He... read more

Herod's interest in Jesus: v. 7. Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some that John was risen from the dead; v. 8. and of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. v. 9. And Herod said, John have I beheaded but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see Him.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 9:1-10

Working through His Followers Luke 9:1-10 The Galilean ministry was coming to a close. The light that had shone there was to move southward and set behind the Cross. Before finally leaving the district our Lord made one last effort on its behalf. Calling together the Apostles He laid His plans before them, divided the district into sections and sent them out in pairs. He gave them no outward investiture, but the inward power of casting out evil spirits. Nothing was to distract them from the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 9:1-62

As He sent His apostles out, He gave them power and authority. They went forth without any provision for the journey other than the things of spiritual equipment. Rumors of the ministry and power they exercised reached Herod, and he was filled with fear. The apostles returned from their fist mission, and our Lord took them to Bethsaida, where He performed the wonder of feeding the crowd. In a remarkable way, that feeding is a parabolic illustration of the method by which those who serve Him... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:1

‘And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.’ Having called the twelve together for a briefing Jesus grants them power and authority (note the twofold provision) over all demons and to cure diseases. Here He acts on His own initiative in the giving of power and authority. It is His power and authority that will go with them. Previously the Roman centurion was confident that Jesus could send His power and authority over a distance... read more
