John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:24

Verse 24 Luke 10:24.Many Prophets and Kings have desired to see. The condition of the Church, at the present day, is justly pronounced to be preferable to that of the holy fathers, who lived under the Law; because to them was exhibited, under shadows and figures only, what is now openly manifested in the shining face of Christ. The vail of the temple being rent, (Matthew 27:51,) we enter by faith into the heavenly sanctuary, and are freely permitted to approach to God. Although the fathers were... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:26

Verse 26 Luke 10:26.What is written in the law? He receives from Christ a reply different from what he had expected. And, indeed, no other rule of a holy and righteous life was prescribed by Christ than what had been laid down by the Law of Moses; for the perfect love of God and of our neighbors comprehends the utmost perfection of righteousness. Yet it must be observed, that Christ speaks here about obtaining salvation, in agreement with the question which had been put to him; for he does not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:1-24

The mission of the seventy. Jesus, as we have seen, is now going up on his last journey to Jerusalem , and he is anxious that the places he is to visit for the last time, and some possibly for the first as well as last, should be ready to receive him. On this account he organizes the mission of the seventy in addition to that of the twelve already noticed. They are to be forerunners, going to announce his advent in the different cities and villages. Let us study the mission as here... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:23-24

And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: for I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see. Alluding, especially, to such prophets and their words as Balaam (in Numbers 24:17 ) and Jacob (in Genesis 49:18 ). Keble has a quaint verse here, striking, as is usual with him, the central truth— "Save that each little voice in turn Some glorious truth proclaims; What sages... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:23-24

Apostolic advantage and disadvantage. Our Lord compares the position of his apostles with that of the great and enviable of past times. We may follow his thought and may also pursue the same line of comparison in our own times. We look at their position— I. As RELATED TO DISTINGUISHED MEN BEFORE THE ADVENT . 1 . It was one of some disadvantage ; they were men in a very much humbler position than many of the great in past days. Great kings had lived in a social... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:25

And, behold, a certain lawyer . It seems (as has already been noticed) probable that in St. Luke's general account of our Lord's teaching during the six months which immediately preceded the last Passover, certain events which took place at a short visit which Jesus paid to Jerusalem at the Feast of the Dedication are noticed. This question of the lawyer was probably asked on the occasion of this visit, and the little episode connected with the Bethany family of Lazarus took place at the... read more
