Brethren:
Christ’s mission on earth was to bring the message of redemption and repentance to mankind. In order for Him to do so, he needed to reach as many as possible in the time granted unto Him by our Creator.

“St.
Luke gives more fully ‘to publish the good news of the kingdom of
God.’ The word ‘preach’ has here its full significance of
‘proclaiming,’ doing a herald’s office. In this form the words
might refer simply to His leaving Capernaum; but the report in St.
Luke, “for therefore was I sent” connects them with His mission
as a whole. In any case, however, the disciples in this stage of
their progress, would hardly enter, as we enter, into the full
meaning of that mission. To them His “coming forth,” even as
being “sent,” would be as from His home at Nazareth, not as from
the bosom of the Father.” - C. J. Ellicott - Theologian
