A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 9:6

"And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere." — Luke 9:6 (ASV)

Went (διηρχοντο). Imperfect middle, continuous and repeated action made plainer also by three present participles (εξερχομενοι, ευαγγελιζομενοι, θεραπευοντες), describing the wide extent of the work through all the villages (κατα τας κωμας, distributive use of κατα) everywhere (πανταχου) in Galilee.
