James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:9

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MESSAGE‘Say unto them, the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.’ Luke 10:9 It was a simple message that Christ entrusted to His earnest, expectant band of young field-preachers: ‘The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.’ Twice He repeated it in the final short epitome of instructions with which He armed them for the delightful experiment they were about to make. I. Directness of statement.—The heart of Jesus was glad within Him at the utter simplicity and directness... 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

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's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:8-9

“And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you, and heal the sick that are in it, and say to them, The Kingly Rule of God is come near to you.” And whenever they enter a city and are received in friendly fashion, then they must eat what is set before them. This would be a token of friendship, and identify them with their hosts. Possibly also the idea of this seeming repetition of Luke 10:7 is to add the idea that they are not to be fussy about the... 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:8-12

We have met with the same instructions before in Matthew and Mark. See Poole on "Matthew 10:11", and following verses to Matthew 10:15. See Poole on "Mark 6:10-11". There is some difference in words. Matthew saith, —inquire who in the city is worthy, and, Luke 10:13, if the house be worthy; Luke saith, if the son of peace be there; they both mean the same thing: if there be any in it, that belong to God’s election of grace, any whom God intends by you to call, and make partakers of the peace of... 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

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 10:1-42

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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 10:1-42

Luke 10:1 . The Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two. This was after the twelve had returned, and brought reports of the eager cries of the people for the word of life. Some old copies of the Greek read, seventy two, which is followed by the Vulgate. Some rabbins persisted in writing seventy two for seventy, because Eldad and Medad had prophesied in the camp. He wisely sent them two and two, that one might the better assist the other; that they might the more edify... read more

Luke 10:9The kingdom of God is come nigh unto youNearness to the kingdomThis is a part of the discourse which Christ gave to His disciples when they were going forth to preach under His ministration.Their message was, “The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.” They were Jews in Jewry. They were preaching to their own countrymen--especially in Galilee; and this was a part of their message: the approach of the kingdom of God to all those that heard. Nothing more striking than the spiritual... read more
