Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 9:49

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.THE MAN WHO DID NOT FOLLOWA thing of considerable importance that comes to light here is the fact that the apostles were not continually in the company of Jesus, indicating that there may have been a number of occasions when the Lord had sent them out "on their own." The incident in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 9:49

49, 50. John answered, &c.—The link of connection here with the foregoing context lies in the words "in My name" (Luke 9:48). "Oh, as to that," said John, young, warm, but not sufficiently apprehending Christ's teaching in these things, "we saw one casting out devils in Thy name, and we forbade him: Were we wrong?" "Ye were wrong." "But we did because he followeth not us,'" "No matter. For (1) There is no man which shall do a miracle in My name that can lightly [soon] speak evil of Me'... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:1-50

G. Jesus’ preparation of the Twelve 9:1-50In this last major section describing Jesus’ ministry in and around Galilee (Luke 4:14 to Luke 9:50), Luke stressed Jesus’ preparation of His disciples for the opposition that lay before them. This was the climax of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee, and these events formed a bridge to Luke’s unique major section on Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51 to Luke 19:10).Previously Luke recorded Jesus teaching and authenticating His teaching with miracles mainly... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:14-50

IV. JESUS’ MINISTRY IN AND AROUND GALILEE 4:14-9:50Luke commenced his account of Jesus’ public ministry with His return to Galilee following His temptation. This section of his Gospel ends with Jesus’ decision to leave Galilee for Jerusalem and the Cross (Luke 9:51). Luke did not give as much information about Jesus’ Galilean ministry as the other synoptic writers did (cf. Matthew 4:12 to Matthew 16:12; Mark 1:14 to Mark 8:26). He chose, rather, to emphasize Jesus’ ministry as He traveled from... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:46-50

8. The pride of the disciples 9:46-50In contrast to the humble attitude of Jesus demonstrated in His willingness to submit to betrayal and death in God’s will, the disciples manifested pride. They had their own ideas about the coming kingdom, and they wanted to secure their own futures in it. This spirit of self-seeking was also obvious after Jesus made His first revelation of His death (Mark 8:32-33). Now the disciples showed a desire first for position and then prestige in the kingdom. Their... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:49-50

The exclusion of others 9:49-50 (cf. Mark 9:38-40)Disciples need to be aware of their attitude toward believers who are outside their circle of fellowship as well as their attitude toward those within that circle. Again Luke’s account of this incident omits details to cut through to the heart of the matter.This incident exposed an attitude of rivalry among the Twelve that existed toward other disciples of Jesus. This was not a problem of orthodoxy; the exorcist believed in Jesus. It was rather... read more
