路加福音 10:17-19 CUNPSS

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 10:19

Given you power, &c. By these words our Saviour seems to insinuate, that the venom of serpents, and the other noxious qualities of some animals, proceed from the malice of the devil. These are the arms and the instruments he makes us of to kill us, being the prince of death and a murderer from the beginning, as the Scripture styles him. The Jews attributed sickness, poisons, and every thing of the same kind to evil spirits. 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 10:17-20

The return and report of the seventy: v. 17. And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name. v. 18. And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. v. 19. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you. v. 20. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because... 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

Luke CHRIST’S MESSENGERS: THEIR EQUIPMENT AND WORK Luk_10:1 - Luk_10:11 , Luk_10:17 - Luk_10:20 . The mission of the Seventy is clearly distinguished from and contrasted with that of the Twelve by the word ‘others’ in verse 1, which points back to Luk_9:1 . The Twelve were prohibited from going beyond Jews; the Seventy were under no such restriction, and were probably sent to the half-Gentile districts on the east of Jordan. The number of twelve had reference to the number of the tribes;... 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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 10:1-21

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 10:18

A TRUE SENSE OF PROPORTION‘And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.’ Luke 10:18 Let us seek honestly to imitate our Master, and look upon our world as He looked upon this earth, when as from a position in eternity He saw Satan fall from heaven. I. If we look upon our own lives as one looks back upon a way already trodden, and a work already accomplished, we shall gain a truer sense of the proportion of things. This true sense of proportion in life is hard for us to... read more
