Jesus went through all the towns and villages
This phrase highlights the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry. The Greek word for "went through" (περιῆλθεν, periēlthen) suggests a thorough and intentional journey. Jesus' mission was not confined to a single location but extended to all areas, emphasizing His accessibility and the universal scope of His message. Historically, towns and villages in Galilee were small and closely knit, making Jesus' visits significant for spreading His teachings widely. This reflects the heart of God, who desires that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

teaching in their synagogues
The synagogue was the center of Jewish religious life, serving as a place for worship, education, and community gatherings. By teaching in synagogues, Jesus engaged with the Jewish community in a familiar setting, using the Scriptures to reveal His identity and mission. The Greek word for "teaching" (διδάσκων, didaskōn) implies a systematic and authoritative instruction. Jesus' teaching was not just informative but transformative, challenging the existing religious paradigms and pointing to the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets in Himself.

preaching the gospel of the kingdom
The term "preaching" (κηρύσσων, kēryssōn) denotes a proclamation with authority, akin to a herald announcing a royal decree. The "gospel of the kingdom" refers to the good news of God's reign breaking into human history through Jesus Christ. This message was revolutionary, offering hope and salvation to all who would believe. The kingdom of God is a central theme in Jesus' ministry, emphasizing God's sovereign rule and the invitation to enter into a new covenant relationship with Him.

and healing every disease and sickness
The acts of healing demonstrate Jesus' compassion and His authority over physical and spiritual ailments. The Greek words for "disease" (νόσον, noson) and "sickness" (μαλακίαν, malakian) encompass a wide range of physical and mental afflictions. Jesus' healing ministry fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, such as Isaiah 53:4, which speaks of the Messiah bearing our infirmities. These miracles served as signs of the in-breaking kingdom, where wholeness and restoration are available to all. They also validated Jesus' identity as the Son of God, who has power over all creation.

(35) And Jesus went about.--The verse is all but identical with Matthew 4:23, and may be described as recording our Lord's second mission circuit in Galilee, in which He was accompanied probably by His disciples, whom, however, He had not as yet invested with a delegated authority as His "apostles," or representatives. It is manifestly the beginning of the section which contains the great discourse of Matthew 10, and was intended to lead up to it.

Every sickness and every disease--i.e., every variety or type, rather than every individual case. The work of healing was, we must believe, dependent, as before, on the faith of those who came seeking to be healed. Of the two words, the former is in the Greek the stronger, and, though the relative significance of the English words is not sharply defined, it would, perhaps, be better to invert the renderings.

Verse 35. - Parallel passages: Mark 6:6 (Luke 13:22). And Jesus went about all the cities and (the, Revised Version) villages. The Revised Version rightly restricts the "all" to the cities (τὰς πόλεις πάσας καὶ τὰς κώμας). It would have been impossible to visit all the villages. A village was distinguished from a city by being

(1) unwalled (though occasionally towns were themselves unwalled);

(2) dependent on the cities (cf. Schurer, II. 1. p. 154, seq.). Teaching, etc. From this point the verse is identical with Matthew 4:23 (where see notes), except that the end of that verse, "among the people," is not found in the true text of our passage, but has been inserted thence. Its omission here and the alteration of the words," in all Galilee," to "all the cities and the villages," are both due to the wider scope of what follows. Observe that in Matthew 4:23 our Lord's circuit is the occasion of crowds resorting to him, and serves as an introduction to a full account of his personal teaching, while here it is the occasion of his sending representatives, and serves as an introduction to his commission to them. As to the phrase, "healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness," notice that the recurrence of terminology (Matthew 4:23; Matthew 10:1) falls in with the oral theory, especially in its catechetical form (cf. 'Introduction,' p. 9.).
