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 10:21-24

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:22

“All things have been delivered to me of my Father, and no one knows who the Son is, save the Father, and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whoever the Son wills to reveal him.” In His prayer/prophecy He now reveals that the Father has put all things in His hands, including full knowledge about Himself, so that He can communicate it to others in as far as they can receive it. All things absolutely have been delivered to Him, that is transferred to Him for Him to apply (compare the use... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:23

‘And turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,” ’ Recognising this He turns to His disciples from His exalted state in the Spirit and says privately, “Your eyes are blessed at seeing what you have seen.” For they have seen in Jesus in their inner hearts the coming of the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), God’s beloved Son (Luke 3:22; Luke 9:35), His chosen One (Luke 9:35), in Whom He is well pleased... read more

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

“For I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.” This was something that many wise men of understanding, many prophets and kings, have desired to see, and have not seen it, have desired to hear and have not heard it (compare 1 Peter 1:10-12; Isaiah 52:15). They saw it in part but they could not know. But they, the disciples, have heard it and seen it and are therefore... 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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 10:23-24

Luke 10:23-24 The Sights and Sounds of Christendom. I. Our Lord's words suggest the solemnity, the blessedness, of living at a great epoch in human affairs. II. They also suggest a characteristic of His religion. That which is spiritual and moral, though it be not outwardly striking, is permanent, while that which is merely material, whatever be its magnificence, sooner or later, is surely condemned to perish or be transformed. III. Why were the eyes that saw and the ears that heard Christ so... read more
