Luke 10:27-28

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 10:25-37

The Message of the Jericho Road Luke 10:25-37 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. THE MAN WHO MADE HIS BOAST OF THE LAW A certain lawyer tempted Christ, asking Him what he should do to inherit eternal life. The Lord knew that the lawyer boasted himself concerning the Law, therefore, He asked him, "What is written in the Law? how readest thou?" The lawyer quickly replied; "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy hearts and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:27

THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart.’ Luke 10:27 When we turn to consider the first and great commandment, we discover on all sides tendencies to partial, one-sided conceptions of the duty which it inculcates. But no condition can quit us of the obligation to give unto God the love of our hearts. We, as English folk, are not perfect as a people. We might surely endeavour to cultivate some happy mean in feeling and worship between the tropics and... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:28

KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE‘Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.’ Luke 10:28 This was our Lord’s answer to the Jewish lawyer’s question, ‘What shall I do to inherit eternal life?’ I. Put knowledge into practice.—Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and thy neighbour as thyself, and you will have the full and complete answer to your question. This man had to learn what every one of us has to learn—namely, that learning and working must go together, hand in hand, in religion;... read more

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 10:25-37

The Testing of Jesus And the Parable of the Good Samaritan (10:25-37). We should note that this passage, and the parable it contains, follows directly on the idea of the previous self-revelation of Jesus. It gives us the clue that within it Jesus is revealing more of Himself. And this is confirmed by the fact that it is itself followed by a further three examples of where seemingly simple stories bring out great spiritual truth. That confirms that this is thus to be seen as a section... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:27

‘And he answering said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.” ’ The reply of the Scribe possibly mirrors a standard reply on the subject which was prevalent in Judaism, although we have no actual evidence of the use of the latter part in this way prior to the time of Jesus unless the relevant parts of the Testaments to the Patriarchs are to be seen as this early. But it... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:28

‘And he said to him, “You have answered right, this do, and you shall live.” ’ Jesus replies that his answer is correct and (in context) that if he does this he will find eternal life. At first this might seem as though Jesus is saying that ‘all he has to do is to do this and he will merit going to Heaven’, but that is not what He is saying at all. For two reasons. Firstly because both He and His questioner are aware of the impossibility of fulfilling these requirements (for all but Jesus).... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:25-37

Luke 10:25-Haggai : . The Greatest Commandment ( Mark 12:28-Nahum : *, Matthew 22:34-: *), and the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk. only).— The inquirer puts his question in a different form, but the meaning is the same. And in Lk. Jesus elicits the answer from the questioner, and commends him. Luke 10:29 is thought by some to be merely Lk.’ s device, a peg on which to hang the parable, which existed in an independent form. For the parable answers the question “ Whose neighbour am I? not... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:25-28

These four verses would incline one to think that Luke here records the same piece of history which we met with in Matthew 22:35-40, and Mark 12:28-34; See Poole on "Matthew 22:35" and following verses to Matthew 22:40, See Poole on "Mark 12:28" and following verses to Mark 12:34; but neither of those evangelists have the following part of this discourse, which makes me doubtful whether Luke speaks of the same person coming to Christ which the others mention. A lawyer he was, who came to our... read more
