Luke 10:13-20

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:1-16

1-16 Christ sent the seventy disciples, two and two, that they might strengthen and encourage one another. The ministry of the gospel calls men to receive Christ as a Prince and a Saviour; and he will surely come in the power of his Spirit to all places whither he sends his faithful servants. But the doom of those who receive the grace of God in vain, will be very fearful Those who despise the faithful ministers of Christ, who think meanly of them, and look scornfully upon them, will be... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:17-24

17-24 All our victories over Satan, are obtained by power derived from Jesus Christ, and he must have all the praise. But let us beware of spiritual pride, which has been the destruction of many. Our Lord rejoiced at the prospect of the salvation of many souls. It was fit that particular notice should be taken of that hour of joy; there were few such, for He was a man of sorrows: in that hour in which he saw Satan fall, and heard of the good success of his ministers, in that hour he rejoiced.... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 10:1-99

Luke 10 THE DISCIPLES HAVING been instructed in this way, the Lord still further extended the scope of the witness that had to be rendered in connection with His presence on earth, by appointing and sending forth seventy other disciples, two and two before His face. This saying as to the greatness of the harvest and the fewness of the labourers, seems, according to Mat_9:37 , Mat_9:38 , to have been uttered on another occasion. There, the prayer is answered by the sending forth of the twelve:... read more

Woes upon several cities of Galilee: v. 13. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. v. 14. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the Judgment than for you. v. 15. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. v. 16. He that heareth you heareth Me; and he that despiseth you... read more

The return and report of the seventy: v. 17. And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name. v. 18. And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. v. 19. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you. v. 20. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 10:1-24

B. The Seventy Disciples. Luke 10:1-24(Partial parallel to Matthew 11:20-30.)1After these things the Lord appointed other seventy [seventy others1] also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would [was about to] come. 2Therefore said he [And said, V. O.2] unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 3Go your ways: behold, I send... read more

Luke CHRIST’S MESSENGERS: THEIR EQUIPMENT AND WORK Luk_10:1 - Luk_10:11 , Luk_10:17 - Luk_10:20 . The mission of the Seventy is clearly distinguished from and contrasted with that of the Twelve by the word ‘others’ in verse 1, which points back to Luk_9:1 . The Twelve were prohibited from going beyond Jews; the Seventy were under no such restriction, and were probably sent to the half-Gentile districts on the east of Jordan. The number of twelve had reference to the number of the tribes;... read more

Jeremiah - Luke CHRIST’S MESSENGERS: THEIR EQUIPMENT AND WORK TWO LISTS OF NAMES Jer_17:13 . - Luk_10:20 . A name written on earth implies that the bearer of the name belongs to earth, and it also secondarily suggests that the inscription lasts but for a little while. Contrariwise, a name written in heaven implies that its bearer belongs to heaven, and that the inscription will abide. We find running throughout Scripture the metaphor of books in which men’s names are written. Moses thought... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 10:1-16

the Forerunners of the Lord Luke 10:1-16 In the appointment of the Seventy there was perhaps an allusion to Numbers 11:24-25 . In this case, as in that, there was the endowment of conspicuous spiritual power. We can only prepare the way for our Lord. No one of us can suffice for the soul of man. We must always say with the Baptist: “There cometh one mightier than I.” Would that Christ always came where we had been! See Luke 10:1 . Let us not forget to pray for laborers; but if we pray truly... read more

the Sources of Deepest Joy Luke 10:17-24 How triumphant the return of the evangelist! With faces flushed with pride and hearts high with elation, they returned to the Master with their reports. What wisdom it is to talk our work over with Jesus! Even the demons were subject to His Name. He was not surprised. While He had been watching, bearing them up by His intercessions, He had seen an alteration take place in the unseen world. Satan had fallen, as though the work done by these humble men... read more
