James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:29

THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHARACTER‘Who is my neighbour?’ Luke 10:29 The turning-point in the development of a character has an interest of its own. Whether these words represented the actual turning-point in the character of the man who questioned our Lord, we cannot be certain. He may have been led to accept more of our Lord’s teaching after he heard the parable, but, as far as we see, the words represented a moment when he had to make the choice between two standards, between that in which he had... 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 10:25-37

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:29

‘But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbour?” ’ But the Scribe wanted to justify his coming to Jesus so he asked a crunch question, “And who is my neighbour?” ’ He quite possibly saw this as a prelude to a long discussion, and even as a means of tripping Jesus up. If Jesus gave the same reply as a Pharisee, all the ‘sinners’ who followed Him would be dismayed, if he gave any other reply He would be opening Himself to attack.. There was once a philosopher called... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:25-37

Luke 10:25-Haggai : . The Greatest Commandment ( Mark 12:28-Nahum : *, Matthew 22:34-: *), and the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk. only).— The inquirer puts his question in a different form, but the meaning is the same. And in Lk. Jesus elicits the answer from the questioner, and commends him. Luke 10:29 is thought by some to be merely Lk.’ s device, a peg on which to hang the parable, which existed in an independent form. For the parable answers the question “ Whose neighbour am I? not... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:29

This lawyer’s desire to justify himself spake him a hypocrite. The reason of that question, Who is my neighbour? was the notion of the neighbour (mentioned in the law) which the scribes and Pharisees had, who counted none their neighbours but their friends and benefactors, at least none but those that were of their own nation or particular sect; and had taught their people, that they might hate their enemies. Our Saviour (this being but a captious question, considering the received... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 10:25-37

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 10:25. A certain lawyer.—One whose business it was to teach the law. It was probably in Judæa that this conversation was held; as we read (Luke 10:38) that Jesus was on His way to Bethany. Tempted Him.—The word seems to mean nothing worse than putting His skill to full proof, i.e. consulting Him on difficult questions. He probably wished to see if Jesus would teach him anything new; and an air of self-conceit is manifest in what little is said of him (see Luke 10:29). What... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 10:25-37

Luke 10:25-37 The Good Samaritan. I. It is clear that the kindness of this man was of the spirit, and not merely of the letter. Here was one main point of difference between him and the priest and Levite. They needed a specific injunction, but he wanted to carry out a great principle. II. We may perceive that this man's benevolence was not hindered by any prejudices of nationality or religion. The injured traveller was an entire stranger to him, but he did not say within himself on that... read more

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
