Luke 9:10–17: beyond the bread

Last time we considered the apostles' first ministry outing on their own. Jesus gave them authority and power to do miracles and proclaim God’s message. They “went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere” (Luke 9:6). What an experience that must have been! Luke says that upon their return “the apostles told [Jesus] all that they had done” (Luke 9:10).
