CARRYING OUT HIS FOURFOLD COMMISSION
In 4:31-44 the Man-Savior carried out His fourfold commission. This commission in cluded teaching (vv. 31-32), casting out demons (vv. 33-37, 41), healing diseases (vv. 38-40), and preaching the good news of the kingdom of God (vv. 42-44). When the crowds tried to de tain the Lord Jesus, He said, "I must bring good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this I was sent" (v. 43). As in verse 18, the Greek word translated "bring good news" is euaggelizo. This word means evangelize, to announce good news, to declare (bring) glad tidings, to preach the gospel. Hence, to bring good news of the kingdom of God is to preach the kingdom of God as the gospel, the good news.
