⁷随走 随传 ，说 天 国 近了 ！

⁷ Verse 7. And as ye go, preach] πορευομενοιδεκηρυσσετε, and

as you proceed, proclaim like heralds-make this proclamation

wherever ye go, and while ye are journeying. Preach and travel;

and, as ye travel, preach-proclaim salvation to all you meet.

Wherever the ministers of Christ go, they find lost, ruined souls;

and, wherever they find them, they should proclaim Jesus, and his

power to save. For an explanation of the word proclaim or preach,

See Clarke on Mt 3:1.



From this commission we learn what the grand subject of

apostolic preaching was-THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND! This

was the great message. "They preached," says Quesnel, "to

establish the faith; the kingdom, to animate the hope; of heaven,

to inspire the love of heavenly things, and the contempt of

earthly; which is at hand, that men may prepare for it without

delay."
