Luke 10:2 ASV

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

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

The Sending Forth of the Seventy Luke 10:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have here a most important theme, The sending forth of the seventy. There are some things in general which we feel led to suggest here and then to take up, step by step, the particular ministry of the seventy. 1. All believers are sent of God. There is a verse which speaks of John the Baptist, saying, "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John." This should be just as truly said of any, and all of us. The word... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:1-9

The Mission of the Seventy (Two) (10:1-9). Following Jesus’ call to the three potential disciples Jesus now appoints seventy (or seventy two) disciples to go out two by two as messengers before His face preparing the way for Him. They too are fulfilling the prayer, ‘may your Kingly Rule come’. a After these things the Lord appointed seventy (two) others, and sent them two and two before His face into every city and place, to which He Himself was about to come (Luke 10:1). b And He said to... read more

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 10:2

‘And he said to them, “The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few, pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.” ’ This is the kind of statement that we might well expect Jesus to continually repeat, especially if He saw it as a kind of commissioning. This latter is easily possible for it occurs at the appointment of the twelve (see Matthew 9:37-38), and now at the appointment here, and is very suitable for a commissioning which has... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:1-16

Luke 10:1-Nehemiah : . The Mission of the Seventy.— Cf. p. 665. Lk. has already described the Mission of the Twelve, following Mk.; here he covers the ground again, following Q. Matthew 10 had blended Mk. and Q, but Lk. keeps them separate by raising the number to 70 ( cf. the 70 nations of the Gentile world, Genesis 10). Some good MSS. and Syr. Sin. read 72, i.e. 12 x 6; this may be more original. But even if Lk. only meant to describe a mission to the Jews, he has the wider enterprise... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:2

See Poole on "Matthew 9:37" and See Poole on "Matthew 9:38", where these words are put immediately before the sending out of the twelve. Both the twelve and the seventy, all that Christ ever sent out, were to be labourers in the Lord’s harvest. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 10:1-16

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 10:1. The mission of the seventy is peculiar to St. Luke. We need not be surprised at the silence of the other evangelists, as the office to which these men were called was not a permanent one. They were simply to prepare the people for Christ’s approaching visit, and as it were for His last appeal to them. The instructions given to them correspond to those given to the apostles (see Matthew 10:0), so far as concerns present duties. In contradistinction to the temporary... read more

Chapter 10Now in chapter 10, we read of this commissioning in the sending forth of the seventy, in the contrast to the twelve of chapter 9.After these things ( Luke 10:1 )Now He is on His way towards Jerusalem.and the Lord appointed another seventy also, and he sent them two by two before him into every city and place, where he himself would come ( Luke 10:1 ).So they were to go as advance teams in the villages that He would be passing through, as He is on His way to Jerusalem.And therefore he... read more
