Luke 10:39 ESV

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 10:38-42

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 10:38. A certain village.—There can be no doubt that this was Bethany, and that the persons mentioned were sisters of Lazarus. The names are not only the same, but the words and actions of both are characteristic of the two sisters described in John 11:0; John 12:0. Bethany was an hour’s walk from Jerusalem, and was a favourite resort of our Lord, when He was in the neighbourhood of the capital. Farrar considers that the phrases “a certain village” and “a certain woman” are... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 10:1-42

Luke 10:1 . The Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two. This was after the twelve had returned, and brought reports of the eager cries of the people for the word of life. Some old copies of the Greek read, seventy two, which is followed by the Vulgate. Some rabbins persisted in writing seventy two for seventy, because Eldad and Medad had prophesied in the camp. He wisely sent them two and two, that one might the better assist the other; that they might the more edify... read more

Luke 10:38-42Martha received Him into her houseChrist’s visit to Martha and MaryI.THE CONDUCT OF CHRIST IS TO BE CONSIDERED. 1. It is observable that as soon as He entered the house, He attended to the great work for which He came into the world. 2. It is further observable that Christ noticed the manner in which the two sisters were employed, and that the rule of his judgment was the claim of His doctrine upon their attention. II. CONSIDER THE MOST PROMINENT PARTICULARS OF THE CONDUCT OF THE... read more

§ 99. JESUS RECEIVED INTO MARTHA’S HOUSE MARTHA AND MARY, Luke 10:38-42 . The document which Luke here uses names no place, as he narrates not so much for the story as for the lesson it inculcates. If from the parable of the good Samaritan any one should infer that all religion consisted in outward works of benevolence, let him learn from the example of Mary, and the rebuke of Martha, that outward performance must be based upon an inner work. Let no man despise the studies of the priest or... read more

39. A sister called Mary We have met this sister and noted her before in our comment on Matthew 26:1-16. Twice is this Mary rebuked, and twice vindicated by her Saviour. Once the rebuke is among the twelve, and here by her own sister. In both cases the rebuke is for an act of devout love to him as Lord and Redeemer. And in the last instance a eulogy is pronounced commemorating her name and deed forever. Sat at Jesus’ feet As her divine teacher and rabbi. So young Saul sat at Gamaliel’s... read more
