Luke 10:13-20

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:13-14

Luke 10:13-14. Woe unto thee, Chorazin!— Having mentioned the punishment of those cities which shouldreject his ministers, it naturally introduced the state and punishment of the cities where he himself had preached most frequently, namely, Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum; for, notwithstanding he had often resided in those cities, and performed many miracles before the inhabitants of them, they had continued impenitent; wherefore, because he was never to preach to them any more, and because... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:17-18

Luke 10:17-18. Lord, even the devils were subject unto us— From the manner in which the seventy speak of this latter exertion of their power, it would appear to have been what they did not expect when they set out; for though Jesus had given them power to heal diseases, Luk 10:9 he had said nothing of their casting out demons. Our Lord's reply may be paraphrased thus, to retain its force and beauty: "He said to them, I know it; for I myself saw Satan the great prince of these demons, falling... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:19

Luke 10:19. Behold, I give unto you power, &c.— To tread on serpents is a proverbial expression, which signifies victory over enemies; accordingly, it is added, and over all the power of the enemy. Though these words, in the primary sense, imply, that the apostles should be preserved from these noxious creatures, as one of them literally was, (compare Act 28:5 and Mark 16:18.) yet they seem to have likewise a secondary sense, and to be a prediction that the disciples should obtain a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:20

Luke 10:20. Because your names are written in heaven.— Not by an absolute decree, but approved and accepted of God, on account of their faith and sincerity. Many are of opinion, that this is an allusion to the enrolment of the citizens' names in a register, by which their right to the privileges of citizenship was acknowledged by the community. It seems most probable, that when the seventy disciples were returned, Jesus was surrounded with a great multitude of people; this may be gathered at... read more

The possession of such power, not being expressly in their commission, as in that to the Twelve ( :-), filled them with more astonishment and joy than all else. through thy name—taking no credit to themselves, but feeling lifted into a region of unimagined superiority to the powers of evil simply through their connection with Christ. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 10:18

18. I beheld—As much of the force of this glorious statement depends on the nice shade of sense indicated by the imperfect tense in the original, it should be brought out in the translation: "I was beholding Satan as lightning falling from heaven"; that is, "I followed you on your mission, and watched its triumphs; while you were wondering at the subjection to you of devils in My name, a grander spectacle was opening to My view; sudden as the darting of lightning from heaven to earth, lo! Satan... read more

19. Behold, I give you, c.—not for any renewal of their mission, though probably many of them afterwards became ministers of Christ but simply as disciples. serpents and scorpions—the latter more venomous than the former: literally, in the first instance (Mark 16:17; Mark 16:18; Acts 28:5); but the next words, "and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you," show that the glorious power of faith to "overcome the world" and "quench all the fiery darts of the wicked... read more

20. rejoice not, &c.—that is, not so much. So far from forbidding it, He takes occasion from it to tell them what had been passing in His own mind. But as power over demons was after all intoxicating, He gives them a higher joy to balance it, the joy of having their names in Heaven's register (Philippians 4:3). 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
