Jesus sends out the Twelve to
proclaim the kingdom of God
Luke 9:1-9
Key verse 9:1-2
1. [1-2]
Whom did he call? What had Jesus shown his disciples about himself and his
work? (1a; review 8:20-56 and discuss the impact of these miracles, in regards
to Jesus’ authority, the kingdom of God, and the needs of people). What did he
give them and for what? (1b) Why did he send them out? (2)
2. What
does the kingdom of God have to do with driving out demons and healing the
sick? Why did they need Jesus’ power and authority to proclaim the kingdom of
God? (ref. 4:18, 31-43; 11:20)
3. [3-6]
What instructions did Jesus give them about what to take with them, where to
stay, and how to respond to those who rejected them? (3-5) Why do you think he gave
such instructions to them? (Mat 10:11-15) What did the Twelve do? (6)
4. [7-9]
Who heard about this? (7a) Why was he perplexed? (7b-8) Why did he try to see
Jesus? (9) How did the Twelve’s mission journey impact the people? (6b, cf.
9:18-19)
5. Overall,
what do you think the Twelve came to know about Jesus and the kingdom of God
through this experience? (cf. 9:20) Discuss the significance of their preaching
what they believed about Jesus and His kingdom.
