In Luke 9:1; Jesus gives the 12 disciples "power".
Luke 9:1; And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.
Luke 9:2; And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing.
Power "and authority" over demons.. and to heal diseases.. and to perform healing.
and of course... they did heal people.
Luke 9:6; Departing, they began going throughout the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
Jesus Himself had a certain "power" to heal people.
Luke 6:19; And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all.
In the story of the woman with hemorrhage, Jesus says.. "I felt POWER go out of me" (emphasis mine).
Luke 8:46; But Jesus said, "Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had gone out of Me."
** Side note about Luke 8:46; controversial context -- "the power had gone out of me"
It seems some think that Jesus batteries ran out here... He had no more power.
One chapter after Jesus gives the 12 disciples this power. He give it to seventy (or 72) more disciples.
Luke 10:1; Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.
He gives them power also. It seems some of them are astonished they have this power.
Luke 10:17; The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."
Luke 10:19; "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.
Luke 10:20; "Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."
.. it seems their names are recorded in heaven here... at least temporarily.
But John 6:66; says...
John 6:66; As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.
Maybe they gave this power up?
... to be continued ...
