Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 9:6

6 And they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

We have heard of the chusing of these twelve Disciples and their Names chap. 6.13. Mark 3.14. Our Saviour chose them to be with him, to learn of him and to be instructed by him, and to be Witnesses of what he said, and did; after some time thus spent, he sends them forth to Preach the Gospel, and giveth them a Power to confirm the Doctrine which they Preached, by several miraculous operations. Matthew takes no notice of their Election only of their Mission. Both Mark and Luke take notice of both. The 3, 4, 5, 6 verses, give us an account of the instructions he gave them, we met with them all before, and a more full account of them. See the Notes on Matth. 10.1, 2, 3.7, 8, 9, 10. and Mark 6, 7, 8, 9. See the Notes on both those places.
