Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Luke 10:42

The One Thing Needful October 15th, 1871 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "But one thing is needful." Luke 10:42 . We have no difficulty whatever in deciding what the one thing is. We are not allowed to say that it is the Saviour, for he is not a thing; and we are not permitted to say that it is attention to our own salvation, for although that would be true, it is not mentioned in the context. The one thing needful evidently is that which Mary chose that good part which should not be taken... 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 10:25Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?--The lawyer’s questionThe question of the lawyer is the question of the human heart everywhere. You will find it asked and answered in all the world’s religions. The answers fall into two classes. 1. One set of replies thinks of the better life as a thing external to a man’s own being, procurable by something that a man can do, by bodily self-denial or suffering, or by religious rites or ceremonies. 2. The other class of answers amounts... read more

Luke 10:26How readest thou?--Profitable reading of the BibleAs there are always among violets some that are very much sweeter to us than others, so among texts there are some that are more precious to us than others. When I go to the Bible, it is not once in a hundred times that I react a whole chapter for my own devotions. As one that goes out into the field to rest does not take the first spot that presents itself, but waits till he finds a nook where the mosses and the flowers and the shrubs... read more

Luke 10:27Thou shalt loveLove to God and our neighboursI.THE LAWYER’S QUESTION. No evidence of his having put it in a malicious spirit. Quite a fair question. Also a most intelligent question. He wished to try Christ’s pretensions and knowledge--a perfectly blameless, indeed praiseworthy wish. Yet, although the lawyer’s intellect was not at fault, his heart, in some measure at least, was. He did not feel, as he ought, the seriousness of the question he proposed, and his own personal interest in... read more

Luke 10:28This do, and thou shalt liveEternal life promised the obedientI.WHAT IS IMPLIED IN OBEYING GOD’S COMMANDS. It is easy to see in what obedience to the Divine commands consists. It must consist in doing what the commands of God require. The two great commands of the law require love to God and love to man. And to exercise this love is to obey these commands. II. GOD PROMISES ETERNAL LIFE TO ALL WHO OBEY HIS COMMANDS, or exercise those holy and benevolent affections which His commands... 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
