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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:1

We heard before of Christ’s first electing, then sending out, twelve, Luke 6:13-16; Luke 9:1-6; and we heard of their return, and giving an account of their trust to their Lord, Luke 10:10. What their particular account was we no where read, but it was such as our Saviour judged the harvest too great for the hands of the labourers. He therefore now resolves to send out seventy more. The names of these we have not in the evangelist, only that Christ sent them out, and that he sent them two and... 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

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

these: Matthew 10:1-Numbers :, Mark 6:7-1 Chronicles : other seventy: Rather, seventy others, as Dr. Campbell renders; for the expression other seventy implies that there were seventy sent before, which was not the case: it seems to refer to the twelve apostles whom our Lord had previously chosen. Numbers 11:16, Numbers 11:24-Ezekiel : two and: Acts 13:2-Numbers :, Revelation 11:3-2 Samuel : whither: Luke 1:17, Luke 1:76, Luke 3:4-Joshua :, Luke 9:52 Reciprocal: Exodus 24:1 - seventy... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:1

1. After these things The preparatory doings of the last chapter. Appointed In the Greek set forth, or publicly exhibited. The proper word to indicate the exhibition of a significant symbol. But inasmuch as ministers were so set forth or publicly inducted into their dignities, the word becomes synonymous with ordain, or to publicly appoint to office. Two and two So that there were thirty-five different couples to go thirty-five different ways. Two were suited for mutual support... read more

§ 80. COMMISSIONING OF THE SEVENTY, Luke 10:1-16 . Our Lord having finally withdrawn his rejected ministry from Northern Palestine, and having arrived at the northern boundary of Judea on his last setting his face in that direction, proceeds to perform, in the midst of apparent dejection, a public symbol of future triumph. He selects from the messengers mentioned in the last chapter, from the candidates so well sifted in its closing verses, and probably from some of his friends in Judea, a... read more
