Luke 10:7

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 10:7-9

Luke 10:7-9. And in the same house remain As long as you stay in the town or village: eating and drinking Cheerfully and contentedly; such things as they give Neither suspect your being welcome, nor be afraid of being troublesome; for the labourer In the work of the ministry, if he be indeed a labourer; is worthy of his hire It is not an act of charity, but of justice, in them who are taught in the Word, to communicate to them that teach: and whatever kindness they show you, it is... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 10:1-24

82. The mission of the seventy (Luke 10:1-24)Earlier Jesus had sent twelve apostles into the northern areas because the work was more than he could do by himself in the short time available. Now, for a similar reason, he sent a much larger number into the southern regions through which he was travelling (Luke 10:1-2). The instructions Jesus gave to the seventy were similar to those he had given to the twelve (Luke 10:3-12; see also notes on Matthew 10:5-42). Being reminded of the earlier... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 10:1-16

3. The importance of participation 10:1-16The theme of discipleship training continues in this section of verses. The 70 disciples that Jesus sent out contrast with the three men Luke just finished presenting (Luke 9:57-62). This was a second mission on which Jesus sent a group of His disciples, the first being the mission of the Twelve (Luke 9:1-6; Luke 9:10). Only Luke referred to it, though there are similarities with other Gospel passages (cf. Matthew 9:37-38; Matthew 10:7-16; Matthew... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 10:7

The Seventy, like the Twelve (cf. Luke 9:4), were normally to remain with their hosts and not move around in one neighborhood trying to improve their situation (cf. Matthew 10:11; Mark 6:10). This would result in their wasting time and possibly insulting their hosts. Going from house to house also implied engaging in a social round of activity and being entertained long after they had done their work. [Note: Morris, p. 182.] As servants of the Lord, they were to eat and drink what their hosts... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:1-42

The Seventy. The Good Samaritan. Martha and Mary1-16. Choice and mission of the Seventy (peculiar to Lk). Another step in the organisation of the Church. The Seventy receive a subordinate commission, similar to that of the apostles, to preach and to cast out devils (Luke 10:9, Luke 10:17). Two motives may be discerned in the sending forth of so numerous a body of missionaries. (1) The time before His Passion was now short, and Jesus wished the message of salvation to reach as many Israelites as... read more
