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

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

Geneva Study Bible - Luke 9:1

9:1 Then {1} he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.(1) The twelve apostles are sent forth only at the commandment of Christ and equipped with the power of the Holy Spirit: both that none of the Israelites might pretend ignorance, and also that they might be better prepared for their general mission. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:1-62

THE LORD JESUS SUFFICIENT FOR HUMAN MISERY AND NEED (vs.1-17) The Lord had shown Himself as the perfect remedy for the world's disturbance, its bondage to Satan, its disease occasioned by sin and its fear of death. Next we see Him capable also of graciously relieving its misery and want. In meeting this need, the Lord desired His disciples to take part with Him in this compassionate mission (vv.1-5 and v.13), though the power to show such grace belongs to Him, and it is He who communicated... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 9:1-62

THE TWELVE AND THE SEVENTY The events of chapter 9 with a single exception, were dealt with in either Matthew or Mark. Luke, however, adds items of flesh interest to some of them which the student can easily discover by comparison. Chapter 10 has three subjects original with Luke: (1) the sending forth of the seventy (Luke 10:1-24 ); (2) the lawyers question and its answer (Luke 10:25-37 ); and (3) the story of Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42 ). The sending forth of the seventy fits into... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 9:1-62

Typical Men Luke 9:0 This chapter shows us how very different men may be from one another. It also shows us the point of union by which all men are kept together, notwithstanding their contrariety to make and fire and purpose. There is no monotony in human nature; yet human nature is one. It will be interesting to give speciality of position in the eye of our imagination to some of the typical men who are so graphically described in this chapter. First of all, here is the perplexed man: "Now... read more

(1) Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. (2) And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. (3) And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money, neither have two coats apiece.

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 9:1

Over all devils; so that none should be able to resist them. For all were not equally easy to be expelled, as we shall see in this same chapter, in the person of a possessed child, whom the apostles could not heal, because they did not use prayer and fasting against it; and because their faith was not sufficiently strong and ardent.
