Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 9:51

Should be received up - The word here translated “received up” means literally a removal from a lower to a higher place, and here it refers evidently to the solemn ascension of Jesus to heaven. It is often used to describe that great event. See Acts 1:11, Acts 1:22; Mark 16:19; 1 Timothy 3:16. The time appointed for him to remain on the earth was about expiring, and he resolved to go to Jerusalem and die. And from this we learn that Jesus made a voluntary sacrifice; that he “chose” to give his... read more

He had now continued on earth very near the whole period determined, and... read more

THROUGH SAMARIA TO JUDEA80. Rejected in Samaria (Luke 9:51-56)Jesus left Galilee and headed for Jerusalem. He knew that Jerusalem was the place where his work would finish, but first he had much to do in Samaria, Judea and certain areas east of Jordan.The Samaritans had for centuries been enemies of the Jews, and hated the Jews’ passing through their territory on the way to Jerusalem. Jesus wanted to be friendly with them but they did not want his friendship (Luke 9:51-53). In return James and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 9:51

And it came to pass when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before his face: and they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them? But he turned and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 9:51

Luke 9:51. When the time was come— About this time the feast of dedication approached—a solemnity not appointed by the law of Moses, but by that heroic reformerJudasMaccabeus,in commemoration of his having cleansed the temple, and restored its worship, after both had been profaned by Antiochus Epiphanes: but although this feast was of human institution, and Jesus foresaw that further attempts would be made upon his life at Jerusalem, he did not fear it, but went thither with the utmost calmness... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 9:51

51. the time was come—rather, "the days were being fulfilled," or approaching their fulfilment. that he should be received up—"of His assumption," meaning His exaltation to the Father; a sublime expression, taking the sweep of His whole career, as if at one bound He was about to vault into glory. The work of Christ in the flesh is here divided into two great stages; all that preceded this belonging to the one, and all that follows it to the other. During the one, He formally "came to His own,"... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:51

The time had come for Jesus to begin moving toward Jerusalem for His final visit before the Cross (cf. Genesis 31:21; Jeremiah 21:10; Jeremiah 44:12). Luke looked beyond His passion there to His ascension. In this Gospel, Luke presented the ministry of Jesus before His ascension, and in Acts He reported what Jesus did after His ascension through His disciples (cf. Acts 1:2). By focusing on the ascension, Luke reminded his readers of the glorious outcome of the passion and the continuing... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:51-56

1. The importance of toleration 9:51-56The first verse (Luke 9:51) sets the agenda for all that follows until Jesus’ Triumphal Entry. It was now time for Jesus to begin moving toward Jerusalem and the Cross. As He did so, He immediately encountered opposition (cf. Acts 20:3; Acts 21:4; Acts 21:11-14), but He accepted it and refused to retaliate against His opponents. Jesus’ attitude here recalls His reaction to the opposition He encountered in Nazareth at the beginning of His Galilean ministry... read more
