Lukas 9:2

9:2 and he sent ¹  them out to proclaim ²  the kingdom of God ³  and to heal the sick. ⁴ 

Lukas 9:11

9:11 But when the crowds found out, they followed him. He ⁵  welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, ⁶  and cured those who needed healing. ⁷ 

[9:2]  ¹ sn “To send out” is often a term of divine commission in Luke: 1:19; 4:18, 43; 7:27; 9:48; 10:1, 16; 11:49; 13:34; 24:49.

[9:2]  ² tn Or “to preach.”

[9:2]  ³ sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[9:2]  ⁴ sn As Jesus’ own ministry (Luke 4:16-44) involved both word (to proclaim) and deed (to heal) so also would that of the disciples.

[9:11]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:11]  ⁶ sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[9:11]  ⁷ sn Again the combination of word (spoke to them) and healing (cured, compassionate deed) is what summarizes Jesus’ ministry: See Luke 4:38-44; 6:17-19; 7:22 (as also the disciples, 9:6).
