Luke 9 with Commentaries, verse by verse
In Luke 9.3-5; Matthew 10.9-15; Mark 6.8-11 Jesus called the Twelve and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases and to preach the Kingdom of God. He told them not to bring anything for the journey, no staff, bag nor bread, money nor tunic. He want on to say that they should stay at people's houses where hospitality is shown and if hospitality is not shown, they are to shake the dust off their feet. How does this apply to us today? we should have the attitude and the spirit that the disciples have. WE should have the motivation and the zeal to serve the Lord, we should focus on the wealth of God's Kingdom rather than on the things of the world (Colossians 3).
In (Luke 9.10-17; Matthew 14.13-21; Mark 6.32-44; John 6.5-13), Jesus fed five thousand men (v. 14) Actually He probably fed more than ten thousand men, women and children. The lesson here is Jesus did something huge with some thing small. He fed some ten thousand people with five loaves and two fish. He could only do this if someone was willing to give up something. In this case, it was a boy who gave up his lunch. This is the only miracle besides the resurrection that is mentioned in the four gospels.
