ルカの福音書 17:14-16 JCB

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 17:15-16

The one leper who returned loudly gave God the glory for his healing. He thereby acknowledged that Jesus was God’s agent. His prostrate posture and his thanksgiving expressed his great gratitude to Jesus (cf. Luke 5:12; Luke 8:41; Luke 18:11; Luke 22:17; Luke 22:19; Acts 5:10; Acts 28:15). The fact that he was a Samaritan rather than a Jew is the key point in the incident. Luke’s mention of this fact set the stage for Jesus’ teaching that followed. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:1-37

Occasions of Offence. The Ten Lepers. The Second Advent1, 2. On causing others to sin. See on Matthew 18:6, Matthew 18:7.2, One of these little ones] An affectionate designation of the disciples, especially such as were beginners and easily led astray. Perhaps the converted publicans and sinners of Luke 15:1-2 are specially meant.3, 4. The duty of forgiveness. We are to forgive an unlimited number of times, yet we may rebuke in love: cp. Leviticus 19:17. See on Matthew 18:15, Matthew 18:21. 3.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 17:14

(14) Go shew yourselves unto the priests.—On the meaning and object of this command, see Note on Matthew 8:4. Here, however, it may be noted, there was no accompanying touch as the outward means and pledge of healing, and the command was therefore, in a greater degree than it had been before, a trial and test of faith. It did not necessarily imply a journey to Jerusalem. Any priest in any town was qualified for the function of inspecting and deciding on the completeness of the cure. Suddenly,... read more

(15) Turned back, and with a loud voice.—The words imply that the work of healing was not accomplished till the company of lepers were at least out of sight. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 17:16

(16) And he was a Samaritan.—As in the parable of the Good Samaritan, St. Luke’s purpose in the selection of the incident falls in with what may be called the Catholicity of his Gospel, the breaking down of every middle wall of partition that divided the Jew from the other nations of the world. As the narrative is peculiar to his record, we may reasonably believe that it was one of the facts with which he became acquainted in the course of his personal inquiries in Galilee and Samaria. It is... read more

Luke 17:3 Sir James Stephen describes Wilberforce's Practical View of Christianity as 'the expostulation of a brother. Unwelcome truth is delivered with scrupulous fidelity, and yet with a tenderness which demonstrates that the monitor feels the pain he reluctantly inflicts. It is this tone of human sympathy breathing in every page which constitutes the essential charm of this book.' Luke 17:3 This is certaine: That a Man that studieth Revenge, keepes his owne Wounds greene, which otherwise... read more

Concerning the Kingdom and His Second Coming. (Luke 17:20-37 ) Luke 17:1-19 The story of the ten lepers is only found in Luke. All were cleansed by the power of God and the nine obeyed the Word of the Lord and went to the priests (Leviticus 13:1-59 ; Leviticus 14:1-57 ). But the tenth did not go but instead turned back and... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:1-37

GRACE IN VIEW OF OFFENSES (vs.1-4) We have seen the grace of God clearly and beautifully declared, yet the world rejecting it. The Lord Jesus then spoke to His disciples. What should be their attitude in view of the reality of this marvelous grace, and in view of the fact that it was commonly despised? No matter how greatly grace may be abused, we are called upon to maintain it always in its fresh purity and truth in every personal relationship. Offenses (or causes of stumbling) will arise:... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 17:1-19

USE OF OPPORTUNITY In the last lesson thought was turned towards the heavenly calling of the disciples, of which earthly wealth is not necessarily a part. To the Jews, this was a great change, which we who, unlike them, never had a country on earth allocated to us, cannot well understand. For this reason our Lord now changes the character of His instruction, and shows in the parable of the unjust steward the results of the right use of opportunity, and in the story of the rich man and... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 17:1-37

Faith Power Luk 17:6 You either believe these words, or you do not. Probably there is not a man who has not neglected them. Was there ever such a declaration made by human lips? How we hasten over verses of this range and quality, and get into easy reading as soon as we can! But here stands the solemn, incredible word. Words of this kind should not be read once only, for the ear may refuse them full admission, and the memory may perform quite a miracle of forgetfulness; we should say the... read more
