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 10:22

All things are delivered to me of my Father . These words, spoken late in the public ministry, evidently refer to the Almighty power possessed and frequently exercised by the incarnate Son of God. During the days of his humiliation, Jesus Christ exercised the power of Creator, Lord of the elements, Lord of the secrets of health and disease, Lord of life and death. Dean Mansel, comparing this statement, recorded both by SS . Matthew and Luke, with the language of St. John, remarks "that... 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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 10:21-24

Luke 10:21-24. In that hour Jesus rejoiced On this occasion Jesus, meditating on the unspeakable wisdom and goodness of the divine dispensations to mankind, felt extraordinary emotions of joy. And said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth In both of which thy kingdom stands, and that of Satan is to be destroyed; that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent Hast suffered them to be hid from those that are wise and prudent in their own eyes, or who really are so... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 10:1-24

82. The mission of the seventy (Luke 10:1-24)Earlier Jesus had sent twelve apostles into the northern areas because the work was more than he could do by himself in the short time available. Now, for a similar reason, he sent a much larger number into the southern regions through which he was travelling (Luke 10:1-2). The instructions Jesus gave to the seventy were similar to those he had given to the twelve (Luke 10:3-12; see also notes on Matthew 10:5-42). Being reminded of the earlier... read more
