Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 10:22

All things have been delivered to me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.This verse is of incredible importance in showing that the Christology of the gospel of John is fully equaled by that of the synoptics. As should have been expected, the radical scholars who deny both the divinity of Christ and the inspiration of the Scriptures have greeted this verse with screams of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 10:23

And turning to the disciples he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things which ye see: for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.No king or prophet in Israel's great past had been so blessed as these humble men. Though picked from the lower ranks of society, they went out to proclaim the establishing of the kingdom of Christ - the good news of... 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 10:22

This verse appears to be a statement to the disciples rather than a continuation of Jesus’ prayer, but Luke 10:23 specifically identifies the beginning of His words to the disciples. Therefore we should probably understand Luke 10:22 as part of His prayer. Apparently Jesus spoke these words for the disciples’ benefit as much as for His Father’s.The "all things" in view probably include divine revelation and divine power, considering the context. The second and third clauses indicate that the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 10:23

Now Jesus addressed the Seventy directly and congratulated them on participating in this revelation. The blessings that humble disciples experience contrast with the judgment that proud people who disregard the knowledge and power that Jesus revealed will experience (cf. 13-15; Luke 1:52-55; Luke 6:20-26; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Those who saw what these disciples saw were blessed or fortunate. What they saw was the signs that the Messiah had arrived and His kingdom was at hand (Luke 10:17). 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

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 10:21-22

(21, 22) in that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit.—The words that follow are found also in Matthew 11:25-27 (see Notes on those verses), but the opening clause that introduces them is peculiar to St. Luke, and is noticeable as the one instance where the word “rejoiced,” which appears in the Magnificat (Luke 1:47), is used of our Lord’s human feeling of exultation. It indicates what one may call the enthusiasm of spiritual joy more than any other synonym, and conveys the impression that the... read more
