Jesus sends out his apostles, enabling them with power to do miracles;5. giving them their charge, teaches them; 16. comforts them against persecutions; 40. and promises a blessing to those who receive them. Heal the sick This command reflects Jesus' authority over physical ailments, a sign of the Kingdom of God breaking into the world. Healing the sick was a demonstration of compassion and a testament to Jesus' divine power. In biblical context, sickness was often seen as a result of sin or spiritual oppression, and healing was a sign of forgiveness and restoration. The disciples were empowered to continue Jesus' ministry, showing that the same authority given to Christ was extended to His followers. This act also fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, such as Isaiah 53:4, which speaks of the Messiah bearing our sicknesses. Raise the dead Cleanse the lepers Drive out demons Freely you have received; freely give Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe central figure in the Gospel of Matthew, who is instructing His disciples in this passage. 2. The Twelve Disciples The immediate audience of Jesus' instructions, sent out to minister to the people of Israel. 3. The Sick, Dead, Lepers, and Demon-Possessed The individuals whom the disciples are commanded to minister to, representing those in need of physical and spiritual healing. 4. Israel The primary mission field for the disciples at this time, as they are sent to the "lost sheep of Israel" (Matthew 10:6). 5. The Kingdom of Heaven The overarching theme of Jesus' ministry and the message the disciples are to proclaim. Teaching Points Authority and EmpowermentJesus grants His disciples authority to perform miracles, emphasizing that their power comes from Him. Believers today are empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve others in various ways. Freely Received, Freely Given The grace and gifts we receive from God are not for hoarding but for sharing. Christians are called to be generous with their time, talents, and resources. Compassionate Ministry The focus on healing and deliverance highlights the importance of addressing both physical and spiritual needs. Believers are called to show compassion and care for the whole person. Faith in Action The disciples' mission required faith and obedience. Similarly, Christians are called to step out in faith, trusting God to work through them. Mission and Evangelism The passage underscores the importance of mission work, both locally and globally. Believers are encouraged to actively participate in spreading the Gospel.(8) Raise the dead.--The words are omitted by the best MSS., and their absence is more in accordance with the facts of the Gospel history, which records no instance of that highest form of miracle as wrought by the disciples during our Lord's ministry. That was reserved for His own immediate act. The insertion of the words was probably due to a wish to make the command cover such instances of power as that shown in the instances of Dorcas (Acts 9:40) and Eutychus (Acts 20:9-12). Freely ye have received.--The English hardly suggests more than giving liberally. The Greek is much stronger, "Give as a free gift--give gratis" They had paid Him nothing. They were not in this their first mission to require payment from others. When the kingdom had been established, the necessities of the case might require the application of the principle that "the labourer is worthy of his hire" in an organised system of stipend and the like (1Timothy 5:18); but the principle of "giving freely" in this sense is always applicable in proportion as the work of the ministers of Christ has the character of a mission. They must proclaim the kingdom till the sense of the blessing it has brought shows itself in the thank-offerings of gratitude. The like principle of gratuitous teaching had been asserted before by some of the nobler of the Jewish Rabbis. Verse 8. - We have here the details of the orders summarized in ver. 1. The details are not given in Luke 9:1, 2 or Luke 10:9. Heal the sick, etc. According to the true order of these commands, solely physical ills are mentioned first in their partial (sick) and in their final effect (dead); then physical and ceremonial pollution (lepers), which forms a transition to the mention of ills primarily spiritual, even though they ultimately affect the body (devils). On the good that might be expected from their performing these miracles, cf. Thomas Scott (in Ford), "Men will never believe that we really intend the good of their souls, if they do not find that we endeavour to do them good, disinterestedly, in temporal things (John 4:15)." Freely (vide infra) ye have (omit "have," with Revised Version) received. Blessings of the kingdom, but especially authority and power for this work (ver. 1). Freely give. All that is needed to carry that authority into effect - whatever toil and energy in soul and body the occasion may demand. The clause comes in Matthew only, but comp. Acts 20:35. Observe, Christ's recognition of the tendency of human nature to traffic in the holiest things. Did Judas take the warning at all to heart? (For the thought, cf. Wisd. 7:13; Leviticus 25:37, 38.) Freely. Gratuitously (δωρεάν); comp. Revelation 21:6; Revelation 22:17; Romans 3:24 (on God's side); 2 Corinthians 11:7; 2 Thessalonians 3:8 (on man's side).Parallel Commentaries ...
