Many would follow him, but upon conditions. And He sent them out This phrase marks a pivotal moment in the ministry of Jesus, as He commissions His disciples to extend His work. The Greek word for "sent" is "apostellō," from which we derive the term "apostle." This sending is not merely a task delegation but an authoritative commissioning, implying that the disciples are to act as representatives of Jesus Himself. Historically, this reflects the Jewish practice of sending messengers with full authority to speak on behalf of the sender, underscoring the trust and responsibility placed upon the disciples. to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe central figure of the New Testament, who is sending out His disciples with a mission. He is the Son of God, the Messiah, and the teacher of the disciples. 2. The Twelve Disciples The group of men chosen by Jesus to follow Him closely, learn from His teachings, and carry out His mission. In this context, they are being sent out to preach and heal. 3.

The Mission The event of sending out the disciples to preach and heal, marking a significant step in the expansion of Jesus' ministry. Teaching Points The Authority of JesusJesus has the authority to send and empower His followers. As believers, we are called to recognize His authority in our lives and submit to His mission. Proclaiming the Kingdom The primary mission of the disciples was to proclaim the kingdom of God. Today, believers are called to share the gospel and the hope of God's kingdom with others. Healing as a Sign Healing was a sign of the kingdom's presence and power. While physical healing is not always guaranteed, spiritual healing and restoration are central to the gospel message. Dependence on God The disciples were sent out with minimal provisions, teaching us to rely on God's provision and guidance in our mission. The Urgency of the Mission The sending of the disciples underscores the urgency of spreading the gospel. Believers are encouraged to be active and intentional in their witness.Verse 2. - And to heal the sick. St. Mark (Mark 6:13), in his brief notice of this mission of the twelve, mentions the special instrument of their power over sickness - the twelve anointed the sick with oil, and healed them. It is probable that the early Christian custom alluded to by St. James (James 5:14), of anointing the sick with oil, arose from our Lord's direction to his apostles on the occasion of this mission. The practice was continued, or possibly was revived, long after the original power connected with it had ceased to exist. It still survives in the Roman Catholic Church in the sacrament of extreme unction, which, singularly enough, is administered when all hope of the patient's recovery from the sickness is over. Anointing the sick with oil was a favourite practice among the ancient Jews (see Isaiah 1:6 and Luke 10:34). It was to be used by the twelve as an ordinary medicine, possessing, however, in their hands an extraordinary effect, and was to be, during this mission, the visible medium through which the Divine influence and power to heal took effect. We never read of Jesus in his miracles using oil; his usual practice seems to have been simply to have used words. At times he touched the sufferer; on one occasion only we read how he mixed some clay with which he anointed the sightless eyes. Parallel Commentaries ...
