James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 17:1-19

USE OF OPPORTUNITY In the last lesson thought was turned towards the heavenly calling of the disciples, of which earthly wealth is not necessarily a part. To the Jews, this was a great change, which we who, unlike them, never had a country on earth allocated to us, cannot well understand. For this reason our Lord now changes the character of His instruction, and shows in the parable of the unjust steward the results of the right use of opportunity, and in the story of the rich man and... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 17:1-37

Faith Power Luk 17:6 You either believe these words, or you do not. Probably there is not a man who has not neglected them. Was there ever such a declaration made by human lips? How we hasten over verses of this range and quality, and get into easy reading as soon as we can! But here stands the solemn, incredible word. Words of this kind should not be read once only, for the ear may refuse them full admission, and the memory may perform quite a miracle of forgetfulness; we should say the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 17:11-19

(11) And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. (12) And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: (13) And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. (14) And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go, shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 17:14

To the priests. Jesus sends them to the priests, to convince the latter of the reality of the cures which he wrought, and oblige them by that to acknowledge him for their Messias; 2ndly, that the lepers might enjoy the fruit of their cure, by returning to the society of their fellow men, after they had been declared clean, and satisfied all the demands of the law; for there were may ceremonies previous to be gone through. (Calmet) --- And lastly, to shew that in the new law, such as are defiled... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 17:19

Thy faith hath made thee whole. Were not the others also made whole? They were cleansed indeed from their leprosy, but it no where appears that they were justified in their souls like this Samaritan, of whom it said, thy faith hath made thee whole; whereas it was said of the others, that they were made clean, viz. of their leprosy in their body, though not justified in their soul: this the Samaritan alone seems to have obtained.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:11-19

11-19 A sense of our spiritual leprosy should make us very humble whenever we draw near to Christ. It is enough to refer ourselves to the compassions of Christ, for they fail not. We may look for God to meet us with mercy, when we are found in the way of obedience. Only one of those who were healed returned to give thanks. It becomes us, like him, to be very humble in thanksgivings, as well as in prayers. Christ noticed the one who thus distinguished himself, he was a Samaritan. The others only... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 17:1-99

Luke 17 THE LATTER PART of the previous chapter, verse Luk_17:14 to the end, was spoken to the Pharisees: at the beginning of this chapter the Lord again addresses His disciples. The rich man had stumbled over his possessions into hell, and now the Lord tells His disciples that, the world being what it is, “offences,” or occasions of stumbling are inevitable. The great thing is to avoid being an “offence” to anyone else, to even the least important. The consequences are so serious that... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 17:15-19

The grateful Samaritan: v. 15. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, v. 16. and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. v. 17.

And He said unto him, Arise, go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. Ten lepers had... read more
