‏ Matthew 10:1

Sending Out the 12 Apostles

1 Jesus ^{▼▼tn Grk “And he.”} called his 12 disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits ^{▼▼sn Unclean spirits refers to evil spirits.} so they could cast them out and heal every kind of disease and sickness. ^{▼▼tn Grk “every [kind of] disease and every [kind of] sickness.” Here “every” was not repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons. The present translation, like several other translations (e.g., NASB, NKJV, CEV, NLT), has opted for “every kind of disease and sickness” here (KJV “all manner of sickness and all manner of disease”), understanding the Greek term πᾶς to refer to “everything belonging, in kind, to the class designated by the noun” (BDAG 784 s.v. 5).} ^{▼▼sn The same statement about healing was made concerning Jesus’ ministry in Matt 9:35, which likewise repeated Matt 4:23. By the choice of wording the evangelist thus links the ministry of the disciples with the ministry of Jesus himself.}
