‏ Luke 9:1-6

He called the twelve together ( συνκαλεσαμενος τους δωδεκα ). Mr 6:7; Mt 10:1 have προσκαλεωμα, to call to him. Both the indirect middle voice.

He sent them forth ( απεστειλεν αυτους ). First aorist active indicative of αποστελλω.

To preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick ( κηρυσσειν την βασιλειαν του θεου κα ιασθα ). Present indicative for the continuous functions during this campaign. This double office of herald ( κηρυσσειν ) and healer ( ιασθα ) is stated directly in Mt 10:7-8. Note the verb ιαομα for healing here, though θεραπευειν in verse 1, apparently used interchangeably.

Neither staff ( μητε ραβδον ). For the apparent contradiction between these words (Mt 10:10) and Mr 6:8 see discussion there. For πηραν (wallet) see also on Mr 6:8 (Mt 10:10) for this and other details here.

As many as receive you not ( οσο αν μη δεχωντα υμας ). Indefinite relative plural with αν and present middle subjunctive and the negative μη. Here Mt 10:14 has the singular (whosoever) and Mr 6:11 has "whatsoever place."

For a testimony against them ( εις μαρτυριον επ' αυτους ). Note use of επ' αυτους where Mr 6:11 has simply the dative αυτοις (disadvantage), really the same idea.

Went ( διηρχοντο ). Imperfect middle, continuous and repeated action made plainer also by three present participles ( εξερχομενοι, ευαγγελιζομενοι, θεραπευοντες ), describing the wide extent of the work through all the villages ( κατα τας κωμας, distributive use of κατα ) everywhere ( πανταχου ) in Galilee.
