F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 9:37-50

the Greatest Serve the Neediest Luke 9:37-50 When the mountain is bathed in the glory of God we are loath to leave it. But we must not tarry in the enjoyment of its raptures, when the plain contains so much misery. Saints and angels on the one hand, demons on the other! The disciples that have not enjoyed the mountain fellowship have no power over the unclean spirits that haunt men. It is easy to denounce demons; we must do more-we must exorcize them. But let it never be forgotten that if... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 9:1-62

As He sent His apostles out, He gave them power and authority. They went forth without any provision for the journey other than the things of spiritual equipment. Rumors of the ministry and power they exercised reached Herod, and he was filled with fear. The apostles returned from their fist mission, and our Lord took them to Bethsaida, where He performed the wonder of feeding the crowd. In a remarkable way, that feeding is a parabolic illustration of the method by which those who serve Him... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 9:32-54

What Kind of a Christian Am I? Luke 9:32-54 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In the ninth chapter of Luke, we have at least nine marks of carnality displayed by the disciples. We will introduce the study by noting two of these, leaving seven to be brought out later. As these nine marks of carnality are brought out, let each one endeavor to answer the question which we have used as the subject of this study. The objective is to discover not what the disciples did, so much as to discover what we are doing.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:37

‘And it came about, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.’ The connection with the Transfiguration is clearly made. As Jesus descends from the mountain with His three companions He is met by ‘a great crowd’. A contrast and comparison is probably intended to be drawn between the size of the ‘great crowd’, seen as representing humanity, and the greatness of the majesty of God in Luke 9:43 a. On the Mount the difference between the majestic Jesus and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:37-45

Luke 9:37-John : a . Healing of the Demoniac Boy ( Mark 9:14-Joel : *, Matthew 17:14-Ecclesiastes : *).— Lk. is careful to say this was “ on the next day.” The child is again an only one ( Luke 7:12, Luke 8:42). The Gr. word for “ dashed him down” is one that was used by prize-fighters. With Luke 9:43 a cf. Luke 5:17 ; Luke 5:26. Luke 9:43 b – Luke 9:45 . Second Prediction of the Passion ( Mark 9:30-Jonah : *, Matthew 17:22 f.*).— Lk. gives this at once, not during subsequent days in... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 9:37-45

See Poole on "Matthew 17:14", and following verses to Matthew 17:21. See Poole on "Mark 9:14", and following verses to Mark 9:29. Of the people’s astonishment and amazement at the sight of Christ’s miracles, we often hear much; of their embracing him as their Saviour, and owning him as the Christ, we read little. Thus far many of them were come, indeed the most, (the Scribes, and Pharisees, and Sadducees only excepted), that they believed Christ was a great Prophet, a man sent of God;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 9:37-45

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 9:37. Much people.—Better, “a great multitude” (R.V.).Luke 9:38. A man of the company cried out.—Rather, “a man [came] from the multitude [and] cried” (R.V.). Master.—I.e. teacher. Mine only child.—Peculiar to St. Luke: he notes the same fact in the case of the widow’s son at Nain, and the daughter of Jairus.Luke 9:39. He suddenly crieth out.—The passage might be rendered, “it suddenly crieth out,” i.e. the evil spirit; but the A.V. is the more natural of the two. The... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 9:1-62

Let's turn in our Bibles to the gospel according to Luke, chapter 9.Luke here records the sending of the twelve to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. This is not to be confused with the time that He sent out the seventy. We will get that in the beginning of chapter 10. But here He is sending out the twelve to go throughout the area of Galilee. In fact, to go as far as they can, they are to travel light. Which means that they will be traveling fast, and they will be getting out as... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 9:1-62

Luke 9:1 . He called his twelve disciples together, privately, it would seem, and gave them power and authority to preach, and to heal diseases. Those powers must go together as was foretold in Isaiah 35:0. This divine commission was ground of confidence to all thus sent into the world. A minister of Christ without ministerial powers, would be like an ambassador at a foreign court without instructions. They have the keys of the church for the admission of converts, and power to deny the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 9:37-43

Luke 9:37-43Master, I beseech Thee, look upon my sonThe devil’s last throwI.OUR HOPES ARE ALL AWAKENED. Here is a poor youth, but bad as he is, terribly possessed as he is, he is coming to Christ. Prayer has been offered for him by his father, and Jesus is near. All looks well! For a hungry man to be coming to a dinner is not enough: he must actually reach the table and eat. For a sick man to be coming to an eminent physician is hopeful, but it is not enough; he must get to that physician, take... read more
