SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:35
¶ Y recorría Jess todas las ciudades y aldeas, enseando en las sinagogas de ellos, y predicando el Evangelio del Reino, y sanando toda enfermedad y todo flaqueza en el pueblo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:35
Verse 35. Jesus went about all the cities and villages] Of Galilee. See on chap. iv. 23, 24. A real minister of Jesus Christ, after his example, is neither detained in one place by a comfortable provision made by some, nor discouraged from pursuing his work by the calumny and persecution of others. It is proper to remark, that, wherever Christ comes, the proofs of his presence evidently appear: he works none but salutary and beneficial miracles, because his ministry is a ministry of salvation. Among the people.] en tw law. This clause is omitted by about fifty MSS., several of them of the first antiquity and authority; by the Complutensian, and by Bengel; by both the Syriac, both the Arabic, both the Persic; the Ethiopic, Gothic, Saxon, and all the Itala, except four.

John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 35. And Jesus went about all the cities and villages , etc.] He did not confine himself, and his acts of kindness and compassion, to his own city, Capernaum, but he took a circuit throughout all Galilee; and not only visited their larger and more principal cities and towns, but their villages also; doing good to the bodies and souls of men in every place, and of whatever state and condition. Teaching in their synagogues ; which were places of public worship, where prayer was made, the law and the prophets were read, and a word of exhortation given to the people; and which, it seems, were in villages, as well as in cities and towns: and indeed it is a rule with the Jews f590 , that in what place soever there are ten Israelites, they ought to build a house, to which they may go to prayer, at all times of prayer; and such a place is called tsnkh tyb , a synagogue.
And hence we often read of yrpk l tsnkh tyb , the synagogue of villages, as distinct from the synagogues of cities and walled towns; which confutes a notion of the learned Dr. Lightfoot f592 , who thought there were no synagogues in villages. Now, wherever Christ found any of these, he entered into them, and taught the people publicly, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom ; the good news and glad tidings of peace and pardon, reconciliation and salvation, by himself the Messiah; all things relating to the Gospel dispensation; the doctrines of grace, which concern both the kingdom of grace and glory; particularly the doctrine of regeneration, and the necessity of having a better righteousness than that of the Scribes and Pharisees; the one as a meetness, the other as a title to eternal happiness: and healing every sickness, and every disease among the people . As he preached wholesome doctrine for the good of their souls; for their spiritual health, and the cure of their spiritual maladies; so he healed all sorts of diseases the bodies of men were incident to, that were brought unto him; and by his miracles confirmed, as well as recommended, the doctrines he preached.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 35-38 - Jesus visited not only the great and wealthy cities, but the poor obscure villages; and there he preached, there he healed. The souls of the meanest in the world are as precious to Christ, and should be so to us, as the souls of those who make the greatest figure. There wer priests, Levites, and scribes, all over the land; but they were ido shepherds, Zec 11:17; therefore Christ had compassion on the people a sheep scattered, as men perishing for lack of knowledge. To this da vast multitudes are as sheep not having a shepherd, and we should have compassion and do all we can to help them. The multitudes desirous of spiritual instruction formed a plenteous harvest, needing many activ labourers; but few deserved that character. Christ is the Lord of the harvest. Let us pray that many may be raised up and sent forth, wh will labour in bringing souls to Christ. It is a sign that God is abou to bestow some special mercy upon a people, when he stirs them up to pray for it. And commissions given to labourers in answer to prayer are most likely to be successful __________________________________________________________________
