21. and thanks his Father for his grace;

Heal the sick
This phrase is a direct command from Jesus to His disciples, emphasizing the power and authority given to them to perform miraculous healings. The Greek word for "heal" is "therapeuō," which implies not only physical healing but also serving and caring for the sick. This reflects the compassionate nature of Jesus' ministry and His concern for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Historically, this command underscores the early Christian mission to demonstrate God's kingdom through tangible acts of mercy and power, serving as a testament to the divine authority of Jesus and His message.

who are there
This phrase indicates the presence of the sick within the towns and villages the disciples visited. It suggests an intentionality in seeking out those in need, highlighting the inclusive nature of the Gospel. The disciples were to engage with the community, meeting people where they were, both physically and spiritually. This approach reflects the incarnational aspect of Jesus' ministry, where He entered into the human condition to bring healing and salvation.

and tell them
The act of telling or proclaiming is central to the mission of the disciples. The Greek word "legō" is used here, which means to speak or declare. This emphasizes the importance of verbal proclamation in the spread of the Gospel. The disciples were not only to perform acts of healing but also to communicate the message of the kingdom, ensuring that their actions were accompanied by the truth of God's word.

The kingdom of God
This phrase is a central theme in Jesus' teaching, referring to God's sovereign rule and reign. The "kingdom of God" is both a present reality and a future hope, inaugurated by Jesus' ministry and to be fully realized at His return. In the context of Luke 10:9, the kingdom is demonstrated through the healing of the sick, serving as a sign of God's power breaking into the world. This proclamation would have been radical in the first-century Jewish context, where expectations of the kingdom were often political or militaristic.

is near you
The nearness of the kingdom signifies its accessibility and immediacy. The Greek word "engizō" means to draw near or approach. This indicates that through Jesus and His disciples, the kingdom is not a distant or abstract concept but a present reality that people can experience. The phrase "is near you" also personalizes the message, making it relevant to each individual. It calls for a response, inviting people to recognize and enter into the kingdom through faith and repentance. This nearness is a source of hope and urgency, as it calls individuals to embrace the transformative power of God's reign in their lives.

(9) The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.--Here again the form of the words is peculiar to St. Luke. This was to be the burden of those who, as preachers, were, in the strictest sense, the heralds of the great King.

Verse 9. - And heal the sick that are therein. These were strangely great powers to confer upon poor weak men - men, too, only in the very dawn of faith - and their naive surprise and joy (see ver. 17) show how little they believed in their possession of such powers, even after their Master's words announcing to them the gift. But this prodigality of miraculous energy was needful then. The first beginning of so stupendous a work as laying securely the ground stories of Christianity - what Renan, with all his enmity to revealed religion, calls "l'evenement capital de l'histoire du monde" - required this special aid from another sphere.
