Luke 10:1-11; Luke’s deep research elaborates upon a number of narrative incidents that Mark covers in just one chapter. The end of Luke 9 reveals Jesus leaving Galilee and heading south towards Jerusalem. The first town in Samaria rejected Jesus, so the Lord begins chapter 10 with a commission of 72 other disciples to prepare the way for His arrival. They are given specific instructions on what to bring and how to respond to towns that both welcome and reject their kingdom message.
