Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 10:19

19. Behold, I give you, c.—not for any renewal of their mission, though probably many of them afterwards became ministers of Christ but simply as disciples. serpents and scorpions—the latter more venomous than the former: literally, in the first instance (Mark 16:17; Mark 16:18; Acts 28:5); but the next words, "and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you," show that the glorious power of faith to "overcome the world" and "quench all the fiery darts of the wicked... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 10:17

These disciples undoubtedly experienced the same opposition and rejection that Jesus did, but their overwhelming sentiment was joy (Gr. charas). They had experienced supernatural enablement and power because they trusted and obeyed the Lord (cf. Luke 9:1; Matthew 10:8). They quite naturally rejoiced, especially in the spectacular display of God’s power evident in their control of demons. Jesus exorcized demons with a command, but His disciples had to command demons in Jesus’ name, namely, on... read more

4. The joy of participation 10:17-20Luke stressed the joy that the Seventy experienced because they participated in God’s program (cf. Philippians 1:3-5). As we have noted before, Luke often referred to the joy that Jesus brought to people (cf. Luke 1:14; Luke 1:46; Luke 24:52; et al.). In view of Jesus’ preparatory instructions (Luke 10:1-16) we might have expected the Seventy to feel miserable and glad the experience was over. However that is not normally the result of serving Jesus... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 10:18

Jesus described the humiliation of Satan’s demons as though it was a repetition of Satan’s actual fall from heaven that happened before Creation. Isaiah’s description of the king of Babylon’s fall was similar (Isaiah 14:12). Many Bible students believe that Isaiah was describing the fall of Satan, but the context argues for a human king. Jesus may have been alluding to this passage. However, He appears to have been describing a current fall or humiliation symbolized by the subjection of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 10:19

The power that Jesus had given the Seventy to escape injury symbolized their ability to overcome Satan and His demons spiritually (cf. Revelation 12:13-17). Thus the connection with the previous verse is clear. Jesus probably referred to snakes and scorpions because they represented these spiritual foes (cf. Genesis 3:15). In other words, we should probably take His words figuratively rather than literally. This was evidently a special protection that Jesus gave His disciples during this... 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 10:17

(17) And the seventy returned again with joy.—It is obvious from the immediate sequence of the two facts that the mission of the Seventy was, as stated above, confined within narrow limits of space and time.Lord, even the devils are subject unto us.—Better, the demons. The tone in which the disciples speak is that of a joyful surprise. They had not looked for such great and immediate results. They had thought that the power to cast out demons had been confined to our Lord’s immediate action or... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 10:18

(18) I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.—The tense of the first Greek verb implies continuous action: I was beholding Satan as he fell . . . While they were working their Master had been following them in spirit, gazing, as it were, on each stage of their victorious conflict. Their triumph over the demons was the beginning and the earnest of a final conquest over Satan as “the prince of the demons.” There may, possibly, be a reference to the belief then beginning to be current among... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 10:19

(19) Behold, I give unto you . . .—The better MSS. have, “I have given,” as of something already bestowed in its completeness. In the power to “tread on serpents and scorpions,” we have a manifest reference to the words of Psalms 91:13. Those words stand in closest sequence with the promise which had been wrested from its true meaning by the Tempter in the great struggle in the wilderness; and it is not over-bold to think that they were connected with our Lord’s memories of that time, and... read more
