Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 9:37-43

76. Healing of an uncontrollable boy (Matthew 17:14-21; Mark 9:14-29; Luke 9:37-43)While the faith of the three apostles on the mountain was being strengthened, the faith of the other nine on the plain below was failing. They were unable to cure a boy who suffered from sudden fits that made him uncontrollable (Mark 9:14-18). After the heavenly experiences on the mountain, Jesus felt the frustration of work in a world that was full of human failure (Mark 9:19). Nevertheless, he did not despise... read more

78. Lessons in humility (Matthew 17:22-23; Matthew 18:1-14; Mark 9:30-50; Luke 9:44-50)Despite Jesus’ statement to his disciples that he was heading towards humiliating suffering and death (Matthew 17:22-23; Mark 9:30-32; Luke 9:44-45), they were arguing among themselves about who would have the important places in his kingdom. Jesus rebuked them, explaining that the way to spiritual greatness is through choosing the lowest place and serving others. To enter the kingdom of God, people must... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 9:41

And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son.Jesus was displeased with the apostles' failure, also by the Pharisees' campaign of allegation that Elijah had not come, an objection he had just answered for Peter, James, and John (Matthew 17:9-13); and also by the insinuation of the afflicted child's father that perhaps not even Jesus could heal his son (Mark 9:23). Satan had clearly made some headway,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 9:42

And as he was yet coming, the demon dashed him down, and tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.The multitude had elements of perversity in it; even the father was doubtful and uncertain that even Jesus could help; and moreover the sacred Twelve were helpless and embarrassed; but Jesus gloriously succeeded. Here is a prophecy of all time to eternity. Generations may rise and reject the Lord; unbelievers may wax bold and... read more
