Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 10:10-12

Luke 10:10-12. Into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not Show no willingness to hear your doctrine, and no inclination to give you entertainment, or the necessaries of life; go your way out into the streets, &c. Declare in the most public manner, how greatly they have sinned in rejecting you and your message; and that your declaration may make the greater impression upon them, let it be accompanied with the symbolical action of publicly wiping the dust of their city from... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 10:10

But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say, Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we wipe off against you: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.No gospel mission has any valid purpose beyond that of giving men the opportunity to hear and know the truth. The foregone certainty that countless souls shall reject the message cannot invalidate or change the message, nor impose any further... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 10:12

I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.In that day ... is a reference to the final judgment which shall terminate the dispensation of grace. The Saviour's use of "that day" in this passage, where its primary reference would appear to apply to the "coming nigh" of the kingdom, shows that the kingdom of God will "come" in a more exalted state at the final judgment. Peter's reference to Christians entering into "the external kingdom" (2 Peter 1:11)... read more

12-15. (See on :-). for Sodom—Tyre and Sidon were ruined by commercial prosperity; Sodom sank through its vile pollutions: but the doom of otherwise correct persons who, amidst a blaze of light, reject the Saviour, shall be less endurable than that of any of these. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 10:1-16

3. The importance of participation 10:1-16The theme of discipleship training continues in this section of verses. The 70 disciples that Jesus sent out contrast with the three men Luke just finished presenting (Luke 9:57-62). This was a second mission on which Jesus sent a group of His disciples, the first being the mission of the Twelve (Luke 9:1-6; Luke 9:10). Only Luke referred to it, though there are similarities with other Gospel passages (cf. Matthew 9:37-38; Matthew 10:7-16; Matthew... read more
