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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 10:29-32

Jesus teaches who our neighbor is: v. 29. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor? v. 30. And Jesus, answering, said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. v. 31. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. v. 32. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place,... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 10:25-37

C. A School of Love, of Faith, and of Prayer. Luke 10:25 to Luke 11:131. The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)(Luke 10:23-27, Gospel for the 13th Sunday after Trinity.)25And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him [putting him to the 26proof], saying, Master [Teacher], what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 10:25-37

Luke NEIGHBOURS FAR OFF Luk_10:25 - Luk_10:37 . The lawyer’s first question was intended to ‘tempt’ Jesus, which here seems to mean, rather, ‘to test’; that is, to ascertain His orthodoxy or His ability. Christ walks calmly through the snare, as if not seeing it. His answer is unimpeachably orthodox, and withal just hints in the slightest way that the question was needless, since one so learned in the law knew well enough what were the conditions of inheriting life. The lawyer knows the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 10:25-37

the Man Who Loved His Neighbor Luke 10:25-37 This parable was probably suggested by the journey up to Jerusalem. It may be founded on an actual occurrence. Notice how the Master answered the inquiry, Who is my neighbor? He said in effect: The question is not, Who will “neighbor” you? but, Whom will you “neighbor?” You ought to ask, Who wants my help? Neighborhood consists, not in what you receive, but in what you give. It is independent of race, creed and the ordinary sentiment of pity.... 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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 10:25-37

The Message of the Jericho Road Luke 10:25-37 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. THE MAN WHO MADE HIS BOAST OF THE LAW A certain lawyer tempted Christ, asking Him what he should do to inherit eternal life. The Lord knew that the lawyer boasted himself concerning the Law, therefore, He asked him, "What is written in the Law? how readest thou?" The lawyer quickly replied; "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy hearts and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:30

A PICTURE OF BROTHERLY LOVE‘And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves.” Luke 10:30 The parable shows us three things in answer to the lawyer’s question. I. How uncommon is love to our neighbour.—We might have thought a Priest and Levite would give help, good men apparently ( Deuteronomy 18:7; Hebrews 5:2). But deeds show what religion is worth ( 2 Timothy 3:5; Titus 1:16). Doubtless they said ‘We don’t know him.’ ‘No time.’ ‘Enough of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:1-42

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:25-37

The Testing of Jesus And the Parable of the Good Samaritan (10:25-37). We should note that this passage, and the parable it contains, follows directly on the idea of the previous self-revelation of Jesus. It gives us the clue that within it Jesus is revealing more of Himself. And this is confirmed by the fact that it is itself followed by a further three examples of where seemingly simple stories bring out great spiritual truth. That confirms that this is thus to be seen as a section... read more
