ルカの福音書 10:1-12 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:2

Spiritual husbandry. I. THE LARGENESS OF THE FIELD . "The harvest truly is great." It is not a few human families, or a few small populations; it is not one large nation; it is not even one great continent; it is the entire human race, which Jesus Christ proposed and which he still purposes to redeem—this great human race, with all its nationalities, with all its creeds and all its doubts and denials, with all its pride and all its degradation, with all its profound estrangement... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:3

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves . These first missionaries were to go forth unarmed and unprovided. They were to be a type of the strange, seemingly weak Christian preachers of the next two hundred years, before whose simple words and unarmed presence the great system of paganism was to go down. One of the rare but beautiful traditional sayings of the Lord is referred to the first occasion of his speaking the words of this third verse. Peter is said to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:4

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes. They were to burden themselves with no useless baggage, nor were they to be careful for ways and means of livelhood. Dean Plumptre very beautifully writes, on the similar words reported in Matthew 10:10 "Experience has led the Christian Church at large to look on these commands as binding only during the mission on which the twelve were actually sent. It is impossible not to admire the noble enthusiasm of poverty which showed itself in the... read more

Peace be to this house . The original of the words used in the Church of England Office for the Visitation of the Sick. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:6

The son of peace . An Aramaic (Hebrew) expression. Although the language here is pure and fairly classical Greek, yet the presence of such expressions as this shows that the basis of this part of St. Luke's narrative was probably an Aramaic document. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:7

And in the same house remain.… Go not from house to house . Similar instructions were given in the case of the sending out the twelve as missionaries. One house and family were to be selected as the centre of their work (see note on Luke 9:4 ). Eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:7

Our due. "The laborer is worthy of his hire." What is it that we deserve? The answer depends entirely on the light in which we regard the question. We may look at it in three aspects. I. OUR UNWORTHINESS OF ANYTHING . If God were to give to us exactly what we deserve, everything of every kind being taken into account, we should receive nothing more. For, weighing in one scale all that we owe to him for everything he has been to us and wrought for us and bestowed upon us, and in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:9

And heal the sick that are therein . These were strangely great powers to confer upon poor weak men—men, too, only in the very dawn of faith—and their naive surprise and joy (see Luke 10:17 ) show how little they believed in their possession of such powers, even after their Master's words announcing to them the gift. But this prodigality of miraculous energy was needful then. The first beginning of so stupendous a work as laying securely the ground stories of Christianity—what Renan, with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:12

But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city . Such a rejection implies that they would have nothing to do with the Master of these preachers, the pitiful, loving, Galilaean Teacher. These were days of possible mighty blessings, of proportional terrible punishments. The woe of Sodom, that well-known swift destruction, most probably through sudden volcanic agency, was tolerable in comparison with the far more awful doom reserved in the... read more
