The act of sending reflects the authority Jesus has over His disciples, as well as His trust in them to carry out His mission. This mirrors the Old Testament practice where prophets and leaders were sent by God to deliver His messages (e.g., Moses in <a href="/exodus/3-10.htm">Exodus 3:10</a>). The sending also prefigures the Great Commission in <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>, where Jesus commands His followers to make disciples of all nations.<p><b>to proclaim the kingdom of God</b><br>The proclamation of the kingdom of God is central to Jesus' teaching and mission. This phrase emphasizes the message that the apostles were to deliver: the arrival of God's reign through Jesus Christ. The kingdom of God is a theme that runs throughout the Gospels, signifying God's sovereign rule and the fulfillment of His promises. In the Jewish context, this would have been understood as the long-awaited restoration of Israel and the establishment of God's rule on earth. The apostles' proclamation aligns with the prophetic announcements found in <a href="/isaiah/52-7.htm">Isaiah 52:7</a> and <a href="/daniel/2-44.htm">Daniel 2:44</a>, which speak of God's kingdom being established.<p><b>and to heal the sick</b><br>Healing the sick was a tangible demonstration of the kingdom of God breaking into the world. It served as a sign of Jesus' messianic identity and the restoration that comes with God's kingdom. The act of healing is consistent with Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/isaiah/35-5.htm">Isaiah 35:5-6</a>, which describe the coming of the Messiah as a time of miraculous healing. This also reflects Jesus' compassion and concern for physical and spiritual well-being, as seen in His own healing ministry (e.g., <a href="/matthew/4-23.htm">Matthew 4:23</a>). The apostles' ability to heal was a direct empowerment from Jesus, showcasing the authority He bestowed upon them.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The central figure of the New Testament, who is sending out His disciples with a mission.

St. Mark (<a href="/mark/6-13.htm">Mark 6:13</a>), in his brief notice of this mission of the twelve, mentions the special instrument of their power over sickness - the <span class="accented">twelve anointed the sick with oil, and healed them.</span> It is probable that the early Christian custom alluded to by St. James (<a href="/james/5-14.htm">James 5:14</a>), 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 <a href="/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6</a> and <a href="/luke/10-34.htm">Luke 10:34</a>). 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 <span class="accented">his</span> 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. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/luke/9-2.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">And</span><br /><span class="grk">καὶ</span> <span class="translit">(kai)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> </span><span class="str2">And, even, also, namely. </span><br /><br /><span class="word">He sent them out</span><br /><span class="grk">ἀπέστειλεν</span> <span class="translit">(apesteilen)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_649.htm">Strong's 649: </a> </span><span class="str2">From apo and stello; set apart, i.e. to send out literally or figuratively.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to proclaim</span><br /><span class="grk">κηρύσσειν</span> <span class="translit">(kēryssein)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Present Infinitive Active<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2784.htm">Strong's 2784: </a> </span><span class="str2">To proclaim, herald, preach.
