Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 10:17-24

Christ sent forth the seventy disciples as he was going up to Jerusalem to the feast of tabernacles, when he went up, not openly, but as it were in secret (John 7:10), having sent abroad so great a part of his ordinary retinue; and Dr. Lightfoot thinks it was before his return from that feast, and while he was yet at Jerusalem, or Bethany, which was hard by (for there he was, Luke 10:38), that they, or at least some of them, returned to him. Now here we are told, 1. What account they gave him... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 10:25-37

We have here Christ's discourse with a lawyer about some points of conscience, which we are all concerned to be rightly informed in and are so here from Christ though the questions were proposed with no good intention. I. We are concerned to know what that good is which we should do in this life, in order to our attaining eternal life. A question to this purport was proposed to our Saviour by a certain lawyer, or scribe, only with a design to try him, not with a desire to be instructed by him,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 10:17-20

10:17-20 The Seventy returned with joy. "Lord," they said, "at your name the demons are subject to us." He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven. Look you--I have given you authority to walk upon snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the Enemy. Nothing will hurt you. But do not rejoice in this--that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." When the Seventy returned they were radiant with the triumphs which they had... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 10:21-24

10:21-24 At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit. "I thank you, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth," he said, "that you have hidden these things from the wise and clever and that you have revealed them to babes. Yes, O Father, for so it was your good pleasure in your sight. AH things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father; and no one knows who the Father is except the Son, and he to whom the Son wishes to reveal him." He turned to his... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 10:25-37

10:25-37 Look you--an expert in the law stood up and asked Jesus a test question. "Teacher," he said, "What is it I am to do to become the possessor of eternal life?" He said to him, "What stands written in the law? How do you read?" He answered, "You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and your neighbour as yourself." "Your answer is correct," said Jesus. But he, wishing to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbour?" Jesus... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 10:20

Notwithstanding in this rejoice not ,.... That their power was enlarged, or that they had, the same as before: that the spirits , evil spirits, devils, are subject unto you; and come out of men at your command; rejoice not so much in this, or chiefly and principally; not but that it was matter of joy both with respect to the gift bestowed upon them, and the benefits men received by it, and the glory that was brought to Christ through it; but rather rejoice, because your names are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 10:21

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in Spirit ,.... In his human soul: his heart was filled with joy, not so much at the success of the seventy disciples, and the subjection of the devils to them, as in the view he had of the spread of the Gospel, and of the revelation and application of the truths of it to multitudes of mean and despicable persons, while it was rejected by the wise and learned; and particularly at the sovereign and distinguishing grace of God towards the elect, whose names are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 10:22

All things are delivered to me of my Father ,.... In some ancient copies, and in the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, before these words, are read, "and turning to his disciples he said, all things", &c.; and no man knoweth who the Son is ; what is his name, his nature, his perfections and glory; and how he is the Son of God, his only begotten Son: but the Father ; who begat him, and whose own, and proper Son he is: and who the Father is ; what are his perfections,... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 10:23

And he turned him unto his disciples ,.... Both to the twelve apostles, and seventy disciples; and said privately ; or to them apart: the phrase "privately" is wanting in the Vulgate Latin version: blessed are the eyes that see the things that ye see ; the person of the Messiah, his kingdom setting up in the world, miracles wrought by him, and Satan falling before him; See Gill on Matthew 13:16 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 10:24

For I tell you that many prophets and kings ,.... As Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, who were prophets, as well as patriarchs, and David, Solomon, and others: 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 , meaning himself, doctrines, and miracles; See Gill on Matthew 13:17 . read more
