Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:51
That he should be received up - Bishop Pearce says: "I think the word αναληψεως must signify, of Jesus's retiring or withdrawing himself, and not of his being received up: because the word συμπληρουσθαι , here used before it, denotes a time completed, which that of his ascension was not then. The sense is, that the time was come, when Jesus was no longer to retire from Judea and the parts about Jerusalem as he had hitherto done; for he had lived altogether in Galilee, lest the Jews... read more

Sent messengers - Αγγελους , angels, literally; but this proves that the word angel signifies a messenger of any kind, whether Divine or human. The messengers in this case were probably James and John. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:53
His face was - They saw he was going up to Jerusalem to keep the feast; (it was the feast of tabernacles, John 7:2 ;); and knowing him thereby to be a Jew, they would afford nothing for his entertainment; for, in religious matters, the Samaritans and Jews had no dealings: see John 4:9 . The Samaritans were a kind of mongrel heathens; they feared Jehovah, and served other gods, 2 Kings 17:34 . They apostatized from the true religion, and persecuted those who were attached to it. See an... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:54
That we command fire - Vengeance belongs to the Lord. What we suffer for his sake, should be left to himself to reprove or punish. The insult is offered to him, not to us. See the note on Mark 3:17 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:55
Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of - Ye do not consider that the present is a dispensation of infinite mercy and love; and that the design of God is not to destroy sinners, but to give them space to repent, that he may save them unto eternal life. And ye do not consider that the zeal which you feel springs from an evil principle, being more concerned for your own honor than for the honor of God. The disciples of that Christ who died for his enemies should never think of avenging... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:56
And they went to another village - Which probably did entertain them; being, perhaps, without the Samaritan borders. The words, Ye know not of what spirit ye are; for the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them, are wanting in ABCEGHLS-V, and in many others. Griesbach leaves the latter clause out of the text. It is probable that the most ancient MSS. read the passage thus: But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are. And they went to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:51
Verse 51 Luke 9:51.While the days of his being received up, etc. Luke alone relates this narrative, which, however, is highly useful on many accounts. For, first, it describes the divine courage and firmness of Christ (586) in despising death; secondly, what deadly enmities are produced by differences about religion; thirdly, with what headlong ardor the nature of man is hurried on to impatience; next, how ready we are to fall into mistakes in imitating the saints; and, lastly, by the example... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:52
Verse 52 52.And he sent messengers. It is probable that our Lord was, at that time, attended by a great multitude of followers; for the messengers were not sent to prepare a splendid banquet, or to select some magnificent palace, but only to tell that a vast number of guests were approaching. They again, when excluded and repulsed, wait for their Master. Hence, too, we learn, what I remarked in the second place, (588) that when men differ among themselves about the doctrines of religion, they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 9:56
For the son of man ,.... Meaning himself, in his state of humiliation: is not come to destroy men's lives ; the word "men's" is omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions: and both words, "men's lives", are left out in the Arabic version: but to save them ; as they might easily observe, by his casting out devils from the bodies of men, and healing all sorts of diseases: and therefore, though it was agreeably to the legal dispensation, and the times of Elijah, to punish... read more
