a There is no sufficient occasion to identify this visit to Nazareth with that described by Luke. That was at the very beginning of the great ministry in Galilee, and this is near its close. The details are quite different. It is perfectly natural that after a long interval he should give the Nazarenes another opportunity to hear his teaching, and to witness miracles, which he would not work for them when demanded, but now voluntarily works in a few cases, so far as their now wonderful unbelief left it appropriate.

In Sections 70 to 71 we have the Third Tour of Galilee (Jesus following the Twelve) and the effect on Herod Antipas.

§ 70. THE THIRD TOUR OF GALILEE AFTER INSTRUCTING THE TWELVE AND SENDING THEM FORTH BY TWOS

Mark 6:6-13 Matt. 9:35 to 11:1 Luke 9:1-6
6 And he went round
about the villages
teaching.



7 And he called unto
him the twelve, and
began to send them
forth by two and
two; and he gave
them authority over
the unclean spirits;
8 and he charged them




that they
should take nothing
for their journey, save
a staff only; no bread,
no wallet, no 17money
in their 18purse; 9 but
to go shod with sandals:
and, said he,
put not on two coats.
10 And he said
unto them,
Wheresoever ye enter
into a house, there abide
till ye depart thence.
11 And whatsoever place

shall not
receive you, and they
hear you not, as ye
go forth thence, shake
off the dust that is
under your feet for a
testimony unto them.		 35 And Jesus went
about all the cities and
the villages,a teaching
in their synagogues,
and preaching
the gospel of the
kingdom, and healing
all manner of disease
and all manner of
sickness. 36 But when
he saw the multitudes,
he was moved with
compassion for them,
because they were
distressed and scattered,
as sheep not having a
shepherd [see Num.
27:17; Ezek. 34:5].
37 Then saith he unto his
disciples, The harvest
truly is plenteous, but
the labourers are few.
38 Pray ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest,
that he send forth
labourers into his
harvest.
1 And he called unto
him his twelve
disciples, and gave them
authority over unclean
spirits, to cast
them out, and to heal
all manner of disease
and all manner of
sickness.
2 Now the names of
the twelve apostles
are these: The first,
Simon, who is called
Peter, and Andrew his
brother; James the son
of Zebedee, and John
his brother; 3 Philip,
and Bartholomew;
Thomas, and
Matthew the publican;
James the son
of Alphæus, and
Thaddæus; 4 Simon the
1Cananæan, and Judas
Iscariot, who also
2betrayed him. 5 These
twelve Jesus sent
forth, and charged
them, saying, Go not
into any way of the
Gentiles, and enter
not into any city of
the Samaritans: 6 but
go rather to the lost
sheep of the house of
Israel. 7 And as ye go,
preach, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is
at hand. 8 Heal the
sick, raise the dead,
cleanse the lepers,
cast out 3devils: freely
ye received, freely
give. 9 Get you no
gold, nor silver, nor
brass in your 4purses;
10 no wallet for your
journey, neither two
coats, nor shoes, nor
staff: for the labourer
is worthy of his food.
11 And into whatsoever
city or village ye
shall enter, search
out who in it is
worthy; and there
abide till ye go forth.
12 And as ye enter into
the house, salute it.
13 And if the house be
worthy, let your
peace come upon it:
but if it be not
worthy, let your
peace return to you.
14 And whosoever shall
not receive you, nor
hear your words, as
ye go forth out of
that house or that
city, shake off the
dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto
you, It shall be more
tolerable for the land
of Sodom and
Gomorrah in the day of
judgement, than for
that city.



1 And he called the
twelve together, and
gave them power and
authority over all
3devils, and to cure
diseases. 2 And he
sent them forth to
preach the kingdom
of God, and to heal
19the sick. 3 And he
said unto them,




Take nothing
for your journey,
neither staff, nor
wallet, nor bread, nor
money; neither have
two coats.
4 And
into whatsoever
house ye enter, there
abide, and thence
depart. 5 And as many

as receive you not,
when ye depart from
that city,
shake off
the dust from your
feet for a testimony
against them.
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye
therefore wise as serpents, and 5harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men:
for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will
scourge you; 18 yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought
for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they
deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be
given you in that hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak,
but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. 21 And brother shall
deliver up brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise
up against parents, and 6cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be
hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end, the
same shall be saved. 23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee
into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the
cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 A disciple is not above his 7master, nor a 8servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his 7master, and the 8servant
as his lord. If they have called the master of the house 9Beelzebub, how
much more shall they call them of his household! 26 Fear them not
therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid,
that shall not be known. 27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in
the light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops. 28 And
be not afraid of them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in 10hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall
fall on the ground without your Father: 30 but the very hairs of your head
are all numbered. 31 Fear not therefore; ye are of more value than many
sparrows. 32 Every one therefore who shall confess 11me before men,
12him will I also confess before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But
whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my
Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I came to 13send peace on the earth: I came not to
13send peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to set a man at variance against
his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law
against her mother in law: 36 and a man's foes shall be they of his own
household [see Micah 7:6]. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than
me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me
is not worthy of me. 38 And he that doth not take his cross and follow
after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that 14findeth his 15life shall lose it;
and he that 16loseth his 15life for my sake shall find it [see [John 12:25]].
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me [see [John 13:20]]. 41 He that receiveth a
prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he
that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive
a righteous man's reward. 42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one
of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple,
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Mark 6:6-13 Matt. 9:35 to 11:1 Luke 9:1-6
12 And they went out,
and preached that
men should repent.
13 And they cast out
many 3devils, and
anointed with oil
many that were sick,
and healed them.		 1 And it came to pass,
when Jesus had made
an end of commanding
his twelve disciples,
he departed
thence to teach and
preach in their cities.
6 And they departed,
and went throughout
the villages, preaching
the gospel, and
healing everywhere.
