1And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

We are here told, I. What Christ made the constant business of his life - it was preaching; in that work he was indefatigable, and went about doing good (Luk 8:1), afterward - en tō kathexēs - ordine, in the proper time or method. Christ took his work before him and went about it regularly.
