F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 10:17-24

the Sources of Deepest Joy Luke 10:17-24 How triumphant the return of the evangelist! With faces flushed with pride and hearts high with elation, they returned to the Master with their reports. What wisdom it is to talk our work over with Jesus! Even the demons were subject to His Name. He was not surprised. While He had been watching, bearing them up by His intercessions, He had seen an alteration take place in the unseen world. Satan had fallen, as though the work done by these humble men... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 10:1-42

The mission of the seventy is recorded only by Luke. They went forth, sent by Jesus. They returned glad in the victories they had wrought in His name. He received them, and declared to them the whole truth concerning the kingdom of evil, in the words, "I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven," and then warned them not to rejoice in their apparent success, but rather in their relationship to that kingdom from which Satan had fallen. A lawyer asked Him, 'Who is my neighbour?" and the... read more

The Sending Forth of the Seventy Luke 10:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have here a most important theme, The sending forth of the seventy. There are some things in general which we feel led to suggest here and then to take up, step by step, the particular ministry of the seventy. 1. All believers are sent of God. There is a verse which speaks of John the Baptist, saying, "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John." This should be just as truly said of any, and all of us. The word... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:21

THE JOY OF THE LORD‘In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit.’ Luke 10:21 What were the grounds of our Lord’s joy? I. That the Father had passed by the worldly-wise and prudent, and had revealed the glorious things of the Gospel to those whom the world regarded as ‘babes’ in intellect, in power, and in knowledge. These ‘babes,’ then, are not children of tender years, but children in docility, humility, and simplicity; those who not only ‘from a child have known the Holy Scriptures,’ but who, as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:1-42

Jesus Sets His Face Towards Jerusalem Followed By Centring on the Lord’s Prayer For The Evangelisation of the World (9:51-11:54). This section commences with Jesus setting His face towards Jerusalem because the time for Him to be received up (as mentioned in Luke 9:22; Luke 9:31; Luke 9:44) is approaching, and it centres around the Lord’s Prayer for the evangelisation of the world (Luke 11:1-4) which is exemplified throughout. This is apparent from an analysis: a ‘And it came about when the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:21

‘In that same hour he rejoiced (‘was thrilled with joy”) in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.” ’ ‘In that same hour.’ This closely connects what follows with what has gone before. It is important that His disciples have their hearts and minds centred on what is of primary importance, and not be taken up with the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:21-24

Jesus Rejoices Over The Fact That His Father Has Revealed The Spiritual Truth Of Who He Is To His Disciples (10:21-24). As a result of His disciples’ victory over the forces of Satan through the authority of His name, Jesus rejoices in what it is clear that His Father has revealed to them, otherwise they could not have done it. And what has been revealed is Who and What He is as ‘the Son’. They are entering into the truth of Who He is. This recognition of Jesus as the only and true Son of God... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:21-24

Luke 10:21-Jeremiah : . Jesus and His Mission ( Matthew 11:25-Daniel : *, Matthew 13:16 f.*).— The passage agrees very closely with Mt., but Lk. traces the joy and the utterance to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and his context for Luke 10:23 f. is better than Mt.’ s. The great sight, denied to prophets and kings but vouchsafed to the disciples, is the Messiah’ s advent. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 10:17-24

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 10:17. Returned.—The mission may not have occupied more than a few days: probably a time and place of rendezvous had been appointed. Even the devils.—Their success had exceeded the promise; for the power over evil spirits had not been formally given to them. Perhaps in their words to Christ they laid more stress upon “subject to us” than “in Thy name.”Luke 10:18. I beheld.—It seems rather inadequate to understand by these words that Christ had witnessed with exultation the... read more
