Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:30

‘Jesus made answer and said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.” The picture would be a familiar one to all Jews. There was always a possibility when travelling the mountain roads of Palestine of meeting robbers and bandits, and it was especially so on this road, as it twisted and turned through rocky mountainous country, surrounded on all sides by bandit hide-outs, which... 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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:30-37

It is certain that the principal scope of our Saviour in this history, or parable, was to convince the lawyer, that every one is our neighbour to whom God offereth us an opportunity of doing good, whether he be of our nation or region or not. Every object of our mercy is our neighbour, whom God requireth us to love as ourselves. This was quite contrary to the common doctrine of the scribes’ and Pharisees’ interpreting the law, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, and excellently served our... 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

DISCOURSE: 1516THE GOOD SAMARITANLuke 10:30-35. 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. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when... 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

Luke 10:29-37And who is my neighbour?--Self-justificationThe lawyer said--“Then comes his own particular plea or excuse, to which I intend to pay little or no attention now, it was so completely and triumphantly answered by Jesus Christ. Read His parable in reply. Next to the parable of the prodigal son, it is the sweetest word ever spoken even by the lips of Jesus Christ. I. I intend each man to fill up the sentence for himself, only having from the lawyer the preface: “He, willing to justify... read more
