Lesson #9 Jesus Revealed
(9: 150)
1 Jesus Revealed
Chapter 9 begins with Jesus sending out his twelve disciples:
He summoned the twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal [the sick]. He said to them: Take nothing for the journey, neither walking sKck, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there. And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in tesKmony against them. Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news and curing diseases everywhere.
(9: 1-6)

He summoned the twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal [the sick].
Only God can perform miracles. In Daniel 7: 13-14, the Ancient of Days gives the son of man dominion, splendor, and kingship, and in St. Peters sermon on Pentecost, reported in Acts 2: 22 he says: Jesus the Nazorean was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders and signs, which God worked through him in your midst.
It is this power and authority given to Jesus that he delegates to his Apostles.

And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in tesKmony against them.
Shaking the dust from ones feet certainly presents a vivid metaphor of total disassocia

Luke presents a more measured message, as he tells us in his prologue to Theophilus:
In as much as many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fullled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the rst were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, it seemed good to me also, having carefully invesKgated everything from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

Wow! Thats quite the dierence between Mark and Luke. If we understand Mark to
be Lukes source, Lukes reshaping of Marks material for his own purpose is very
deliberate and quite well done.
I bet well see it again!
