Luke 10:24

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 10:21-24

5. The joy of comprehension 10:21-24This incident followed the preceding one immediately (Luke 10:21). The subject of joy continues, and the section on the responsibilities and rewards of discipleship reaches its climax here. Jesus expressed His joy to the Father in prayer for revealing to the disciples what they had learned, particularly Jesus’ victory over Satan. This understanding constituted a unique privilege that Jesus pointed out to them.The two parts of this section occur elsewhere in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 10:24

The prophets typically looked forward to the fulfillment of the things that they predicted (1 Peter 1:10-12). Kings probably represent the most important people of their day. Even they, with all their advantages, could not see and hear what Jesus’ humble disciples could. What they saw was the signs of the advent of Messiah, and what they heard was the good news that the kingdom was at hand.Jesus’ teaching in this pericope glorified the privilege of being a disciple of His. Too often the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:1-42

The Seventy. The Good Samaritan. Martha and Mary1-16. Choice and mission of the Seventy (peculiar to Lk). Another step in the organisation of the Church. The Seventy receive a subordinate commission, similar to that of the apostles, to preach and to cast out devils (Luke 10:9, Luke 10:17). Two motives may be discerned in the sending forth of so numerous a body of missionaries. (1) The time before His Passion was now short, and Jesus wished the message of salvation to reach as many Israelites as... read more

The Service of Men Luke 10:1-2 Jesus in this conversation counsels His disciples concerning the conditions of the best service of man by man; and since we are all still apprentices to the Great Worker and Master, we welcome the opportunity of sitting at His feet, breathing the atmosphere of His presence, catching hints of the laws of all true work in and for His kingdom, and mastering the secret of His own intense, ceaseless, and wonderfully reproductive activity. I. But, first, we must... read more
