JMNT(i)
13 And later, He by habit is progressively walking back up into the mountain (or: the hill country)
and is proceeding to be calling to Himself (summoning for Himself)
those whom He Himself had been intending (purposing; wanting and desiring),
and they came away toward (or: to)
Him.
14 Then He made [
a group of]
twelve (or: He formed twelve) –
those whom He also named "sent-forth ones" (or: named "ones sent off as commissioned agents;" or: designated as emissaries or missionaries; [this phrase not in some MSS, and is omitted from the texts of Griesbach, Bover, Tasker and edition 24 of Nestle-Aland, but included in MSS Aleph, B and others, and in the texts of Panin, W&H, and Nestle-Aland edition # 27]) –
so that they could (or: would)
constantly be with Him, and to the end that He could send them off with a mission to be repeatedly heralding and publicly proclaiming in loud voices,
15 and to continuously hold [
the]
right (or: have authority from out of Being; [A, C2, D and others add: to habitually tend, attentively serve, give treatment to, begin therapy with, prescribe ongoing treatment for, or cure and heal sicknesses and diseases, and])
to be constantly (or: repeatedly)
throwing the demons [Hellenistic concept and term: = animistic influences]
from out of the midst.
