It is impossible - It cannot but happen. Such is the state of things that “it will be.” See these verses explained in the notes at Matthew 18:6-7. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 17:1

Luke 17:1. Then said he unto the disciples Our Lord, about this time, thought proper to repeat to the people, who then attended on his ministry, and were desirous of being instructed by him, several particulars of his doctrine, which he had formerly delivered in a more private way to his apostles, and some others of his disciples, as follows: It is impossible but that offences will come Considering the general corruption of human nature, the snares of the world, and the temptations of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 17:1-19

105. Duty, faith and gratitude (Luke 17:1-19)Whether in relation to money (as illustrated in the previous stories) or any other matter likely to cause temptation, Jesus’ followers must not cause young believers to sin (Luke 17:1-2). They must try to correct those who do wrong to them, but at the same time forgive them, no matter how many times the offence is repeated (Luke 17:3-4). Concerning faith, they should remember that God is not concerned with how much they have, but with whether they... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Luke 17:1

Then said He, &c. verses: Luke 17:1-2 contain matter which had been spoken by the Lord on a former occasion (Matthew 18:6 , Matthew 18:7 . Mark 9:42 ) and repeated here with a variation of certain words; verses: Luke 17:3 , Luke 17:4 also had been spoken before, and recorded in Matthew 18:21 , Matthew 18:22 (but not in Mark). The passage here is therefore not "out of its context", but is repeated with special reference to Luke 16:14-30 . See App-97 . unto . Greek. pros. App-104 . the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 17:1

In this chapter, the teaching of Jesus is continued by four definite pronouncements, which are perhaps highlights of an extensive discourse, the exact connection of which is difficult to discern, (Luke 17:1-10), the healing of ten lepers (Luke 17:11-19), and the teaching concerning the second coming of the Lord (Luke 17:20-37).Between Luke 17:10 and Luke 17:11, Christ made a journey to Jerusalem for the purpose of raising Lazarus from the dead; and yet the only notice of that journey here is... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 17:1

Luke 17:1. Then said he unto the disciples,— Having been derided by the Pharisees as a visionary, and insulted on account of his doctrine concerning the pernicious influence of the love of money, our Lord took occasion to speak of affronts and offences,— Σκανδαλα, stumbling-blocks, provocations to sin; and though he represented such things as highly useful in respect of the exercise and improvement which they afford to holiness and virtue; and unavoidable by reason of the pride, anger, revenge,... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 17:1-2

The introductory "and" (de in the Greek text, not translated in the NIV) indicates a logical connection with what has preceded. It is inevitable that disciples retard the spiritual progress of others occasionally because none of us is perfect. However that does not excuse personal responsibility when someone causes another to stumble into sin or apostasy (cf. Luke 11:52). It is a very serious offense to hinder the progress of a spiritually immature believer whom Jesus spoke of here as a child... read more
