This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
6. διήρχοντο κατά. ‘They went in all directions, from village to village.’ The κατὰ is (like ἀνά) distributive.

εὐαγγελιζόμενοι. In Luk 9:2 we have κηρύσσειν, ‘to herald.’

θεραπεύοντες. In the other Evangelists exorcisms are prominent. Mar 6:13. The special object of the mission of the Twelve is plain from St Matthew. Our Lord had now been preaching for nearly a year in Galilee, and multitudes still thronged to Him. He knew that He would soon be compelled to retire, and He sent the Twelve to give one last opportunity to those who had heard Him.
