Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 10:38-42

Chapter 20THE TWO SISTERS.Luke 10:38-42AT first sight it appears as if our Evangelist had departed from the orderly arrangement of which he speaks in his prelude, in thus linking this domestic scene of Judaea with his northern Galilean journey, and to the casual glance this home-flower does certainly seem an exotic in this garden of the Lord. The strangeness, the out-of-placeness, however, vanishes entirely upon a nearer, closer view. If, as is probable, the parable of the Good Samaritan was... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:1-42

THE SENDING OF SEVENTY OTHERS (vs.1-16) As we progress in this Gospel, earthly things tend to recede and heaven comes gradually more into view, specially following the transfiguration (ch.9:8-36) and the Lord setting His face toward Jerusalem to be delivered up to the Jews (ch.9:51). Yet the testimony of the Lord increased. He sent forth seventy other disciples, in pairs, to prepare the way for Him in every city to which He would come. He gave them no encouragement to believe they would be... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 10:1-42

THE TWELVE AND THE SEVENTY The events of chapter 9 with a single exception, were dealt with in either Matthew or Mark. Luke, however, adds items of flesh interest to some of them which the student can easily discover by comparison. Chapter 10 has three subjects original with Luke: (1) the sending forth of the seventy (Luke 10:1-24 ); (2) the lawyers question and its answer (Luke 10:25-37 ); and (3) the story of Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42 ). The sending forth of the seventy fits into... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 10:1-42

Inheriting Eternal Life Luk 10:25 You will observe that the man who asked this question was a lawyer, a man of education and of good standing; a man, therefore, from whom good behaviour and reverence of spirit might reasonably have been expected. You would think that when such a man spoke, he would speak soberly, he would mean, under such circumstances, exactly what he said. You find, however, that the inquiry, the very greatest that can possibly engage human attention, was put in a spirit of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 10:38-42

(38) Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house. (39) And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. (40) But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. (41) And Jesus answered, and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 10:42

REFLECTIONS Reader! in pondering the several weighty and important things contained in this chapter, let us both look again and again to the Almighty Author of his holy word, to accompany our reading of it with his gracious teaching. Jesus, when he sent forth the seventy disciples here spoken of, to the work to which he called them, sent them forth only to the city, or place, whither he himself would come. And without the Lord's presence with us, what can we hope to enjoy of the Lord's grace... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 10:42

One thing is necessary. Some think that Christ's meaning was, that Martha was preparing many dishes, when one was sufficient. But others, that this one thing necessary, was to learn, and comply with the will of God; which Mary was employed about. (Witham) ==================== read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:38-42

38-42 A good sermon is not the worse for being preached in a house; and the visits of our friends should be so managed, as to make them turn to the good of their souls. Sitting at Christ's feet, signifies readiness to receive his word, and submission to the guidance of it. Martha was providing for the entertainment of Christ, and those that came with him. Here were respect to our Lord Jesus and right care of her household affairs. But there was something to be blamed. She was for much serving;... read more

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
