Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 10:22

(22) All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son; and he to whom the Son will reveal him. The subject contained in this verse, short as it is, is so infinitely great and sublime, that though I could not dare to pass by it altogether unnoticed, yet I know not how to presume the offering my faint and imperfect observations upon it. I shall, indeed, but barely touch on the deep things contained in it; and no... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 10:23-24

(23) And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: (24) For I tell you, That many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. I beg the Reader to notice the grace of Jesus. With what tenderness and affection the Lord Jesus marks his own! It was the longing of the Old Testament saints to see Christ's day. Moses was both... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:17-24

17-24 All our victories over Satan, are obtained by power derived from Jesus Christ, and he must have all the praise. But let us beware of spiritual pride, which has been the destruction of many. Our Lord rejoiced at the prospect of the salvation of many souls. It was fit that particular notice should be taken of that hour of joy; there were few such, for He was a man of sorrows: in that hour in which he saw Satan fall, and heard of the good success of his ministers, in that hour he rejoiced.... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 10:1-99

Luke 10 THE DISCIPLES HAVING been instructed in this way, the Lord still further extended the scope of the witness that had to be rendered in connection with His presence on earth, by appointing and sending forth seventy other disciples, two and two before His face. This saying as to the greatness of the harvest and the fewness of the labourers, seems, according to Mat_9:37 , Mat_9:38 , to have been uttered on another occasion. There, the prayer is answered by the sending forth of the twelve:... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 10:21-22

The exultation of Jesus: v. 21. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Thy sight. v. 22. All things are delivered to Me of My rather; and no man knoweth who the Son is but the Father; and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him. There is a note of triumph in these... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 10:23-24

The Good Samaritan. The blessedness of Christ's disciples: v. 23. And He turned Him unto His disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see. v. 24. For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. The disciples were not conscious of their great privilege, nor did they value it as highly as they should have. Jesus,... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 10:1-24

B. The Seventy Disciples. Luke 10:1-24(Partial parallel to Matthew 11:20-30.)1After these things the Lord appointed other seventy [seventy others1] also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would [was about to] come. 2Therefore said he [And said, V. O.2] unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 3Go your ways: behold, I send... read more

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
