Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Jesus gikk så videre til alle byene og landsbyene i området, og overalt hvor Han kom, forkynte Han de gode nyhetene om at Guds rike var kommet nær menneskene. I tillegg til de tolv disiplene, fulgte noen kvinner som var blitt helbredet fra sykdommer og onde ånder, med Jesus. En av dem var Maria Magdalena, som hadde blitt befridd fra sju demoner. I tillegg var Johanna med, kona til Kusa, som jobbet som forvalter for Herodes. Også en kvinne som het Susanna, var med og hjalp dem med det de trengte, sammen med mange andre.
What Does This Mean?
This verse tells us that Jesus was traveling from city to village, preaching about the Kingdom of God. He had twelve disciples with him who were also spreading this message.
Explained for Children
Imagine if you and your friends went around telling everyone in every neighborhood about a wonderful new game. That's what Jesus did with his friends, but instead of a game, he was sharing news about God’s kingdom.
Historical Background
The verse is from the Gospel of Luke, written by Luke, a historian and physician who traveled with Paul. It was likely written around AD 80 for Greek-speaking Christians to understand Jesus' teachings in context.
Living It Out Today
Today, we can apply this by sharing what we believe about God with others, much like how Jesus used his travels to spread his message. Imagine starting a book club where each meeting includes discussing a passage from the Bible and its meaning in our daily lives.
