Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 9:1-62

Let's turn in our Bibles to the gospel according to Luke, chapter 9.Luke here records the sending of the twelve to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. This is not to be confused with the time that He sent out the seventy. We will get that in the beginning of chapter 10. But here He is sending out the twelve to go throughout the area of Galilee.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 9:1-62

Luke 9:1 . He called his twelve disciples together, privately, it would seem, and gave them power and authority to preach, and to heal diseases. Those powers must go together as was foretold in Isaiah 35:0. This divine commission was ground of confidence to all thus sent into the world. A minister of Christ without ministerial powers, would be like an ambassador at a foreign court without instructions.

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 9:49-50

Luke 9:49-50Forbid him notCasting out devilsThis, one of the shortest of the recorded conversations of Jesus, contains but a single remark made in response to a single statement of the disciples.I. JESUS WAS HERE DEALING WITH THAT HARDEST CONDITION IN WHICH WRONG AND RIGHT ARE MIXED TOGETHER. There was good in the jealousy of the disciples for Jesus, even though it misled them. There was evil in the narrowness into which it led them. There were four people involved: 1. The man out of whom the... read more

§ 79. THE DISCIPLES CONTEND WHO SHOULD BE GREATEST, Luke 9:46-50 . Matthew 18:1-35; Mark 9:33-50. See notes on parallel sections.

Commentators have generally looked upon this entire section as simply a miscellaneous collection of narratives and discourses, put in this place because the... read more
