√ ὁ — the (sometimes to be supplied, at others omitted, in English idiom)ArticleNominative Masculine Singular
√ Ἰησοῦς — Jesus (iNounNominative Masculine Singular
√ περιάγω — to take around (as a companion)VerbImperfect Indicative Active3rd Person Singular
periagō: to take around, to go about A rare verb (six verses) whose imperfect paints continuous circuit-making, not a single trip. JFB links it to Peter's summary of the whole ministry at Acts 10:38, "who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil." Gill notes the point of the circuit: He did not confine His acts of compassion to His own city, Capernaum.

√ ὁ — the (sometimes to be supplied, at others omitted, in English idiom)ArticleAccusative Feminine Plural
√ πόλις — a town (properly, with walls, of greater or less size)NounAccusative Feminine Plural

√ ὁ — the (sometimes to be supplied, at others omitted, in English idiom)ArticleAccusative Feminine Plural
√ κώμη — a hamlet (as if laid down)NounAccusative Feminine Plural
kōmē: a hamlet, as if laid down An unwalled, dependent settlement. Pulpit defines the village against the city as (1) unwalled and (2) dependent on the cities. Gill, against Lightfoot, argues from Maimonides and the Talmud that synagogues did exist in villages, which is exactly what the next clause assumes.
√ διδάσκω — to teach (in the same broad application)VerbPresent Participle ActiveNominative Masculine Singular
didaskō: to teach Present participle: the mode of the circuit, ongoing and simultaneous with the going, and the first of three that carry the whole verse (teaching, heralding, healing). Pulpit observes that the identical terminology recurs at Matthew 4:23 and 10:1, and reads the repetition as a mark of the catechetical oral tradition behind the Gospel; the practical effect is that what the Shepherd does here becomes, one chapter later, what the Twelve are commissioned to do.
√ ἐν — "in," at, (up-)on, by, etcPreposition
√ αὐτός — the reflexive pronoun self, used (alone or in the comparative G1438 (ἑαυτοῦ)) of the third person , and (with the proper personal pronoun) of the other personsPersonal / Possessive PronounGenitive Masculine 3rd Person Plural
√ ὁ — the (sometimes to be supplied, at others omitted, in English idiom)ArticleDative Feminine Plural
√ συναγωγή — an assemblage of personsNounDative Feminine Plural
synagōgē: an assemblage of persons The word is the gathering before it is the building. Gill: places where prayer was made, the law and the prophets read, and a word of exhortation given.
√ καί — and, also, even, so then, too, etcConjunction
√ κηρύσσω — to herald (as a public crier), especially divine truth (the gospel)VerbPresent Participle ActiveNominative Masculine Singular
kēryssō: to herald as a public crier Not discussion but proclamation: the voice of a herald carrying a king's announcement, which is why the object is the good-news of the kingdom. Present participle again, continuous with the journeying.
√ ὁ — the (sometimes to be supplied, at others omitted, in English idiom)ArticleAccusative Neuter Singular
√ εὐαγγέλιον — a good message, iNounAccusative Neuter Singular
euangelion: a good message The content, not the method. Gill fills it in from the rest of Matthew: peace, pardon and salvation by Himself the Messiah, the necessity of regeneration, and a righteousness exceeding that of the scribes and Pharisees.
√ ὁ — the (sometimes to be supplied, at others omitted, in English idiom)ArticleGenitive Feminine Singular
√ βασιλεία — properly, royalty, iNounGenitive Feminine Singular
basileia: royalty, rule Genitive singular. The word names a reign before it names a realm, so the good message is that a King has begun to act, which is what the healings in the surrounding chapter are demonstrating in miniature.
√ καί — and, also, even, so then, too, etcConjunction
√ θεραπεύω — to wait upon menially, iVerbPresent Participle ActiveNominative Masculine Singular
therapeuō: to wait upon, to tend, to heal The verb's root sense is menial attendance, service given to another. Gill reads the healings as confirmation and recommendation of the doctrine preached, the body's cure attesting the soul's.
√ πᾶς — all, any, every, the wholeAdjectiveAccusative Feminine Singular
√ νόσος — a malady (rarely figuratively, of moral disability)NounAccusative Feminine Singular
nosos: a malady Eleven verses in the New Testament. Ellicott: every variety or type, rather than every individual case, and the work of healing was dependent, as before, on the faith of those who came.
√ καί — and, also, even, so then, too, etcConjunction
√ πᾶς — all, any, every, the wholeAdjectiveAccusative Feminine Singular
√ μαλακία — softness, iNounAccusative Feminine Singular
malakia: softness, infirmity Only three verses in the whole New Testament (here with Matthew 4:23 and 10:1), which is why the Verifier flags the Matthew 10:1 link as a real verbal one. The rare word ties this summary to the commission that immediately follows it: what Jesus does in v. 35 is precisely what the Twelve are authorized to do in 10:1.
