Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 10:1-21

The Sending Forth of the Seventy Luke 10:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have here a most important theme, The sending forth of the seventy. There are some things in general which we feel led to suggest here and then to take up, step by step, the particular ministry of the seventy. 1. All believers are sent of God. There is a verse which speaks of John the Baptist, saying, "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John." This should be just as truly said of any, and all of us. The word... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:18

A TRUE SENSE OF PROPORTION‘And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.’ Luke 10:18 Let us seek honestly to imitate our Master, and look upon our world as He looked upon this earth, when as from a position in eternity He saw Satan fall from heaven. I. If we look upon our own lives as one looks back upon a way already trodden, and a work already accomplished, we shall gain a truer sense of the proportion of things. This true sense of proportion in life is hard for us to... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 10:20

TEMPTATIONS OF A USEFUL LIFE‘In this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.’ Luke 10:20 We always require to obey Christ’s command, to watch and pray lest we enter into temptation. Even our very duties may be a snare to us; and we may be falling away from the path of life, even when we seem to others and to ourselves to be following it most steadily. I. This concerns all those who are engaged in promoting works of... 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 10:10-16

Woes On Those Who Will Not Receive the Message of His Disciples (10:10-16). Inevitably all the wolves will not respond, and we now recognise that Jesus’ message is not only one of mercy but of judgment. His words here are severe. If His disciples are persistently rejected they are to shake the dust of the cities that reject them from their feet. That will be a sign that they are cut off from Israel and that in the coming judgment they will be dealt with by God. For in line with what John said... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:16

“He who hears you, hears me; and he who rejects you rejects me; and he who rejects me, rejects him who sent me.” Jesus then finishes off His condemnations by pointing out to His disciples that they are so much His representatives and one with Him that if people hear them it is as if they hear Him (compare Luke 9:48). But if they reject them then it is as if they reject Him, and not only Him, but also the One Who sent Him. For the Father, the Son and the disciples are one in the work. For the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:17

‘And the seventy two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” ’ The disciples returned rejoicing because they had been able successfully to cast out evil spirits. Perhaps they remembered the time when some of them had failed to do so (Luke 9:40). But now success had attended them continually and they were delighted. They had never dreamed that one day they would have this power. Note that they did it through the name of Jesus. It was to His authority... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:17-20

The Seventy (Two) Return (10:17-20). The return of the disciples, rejoicing in their being able to cast out evil spirits in Jesus’ name, leads on to Jesus confirmation of the defeat of Satan and of the fact that He has given them power over all Satanic forces so that they need not be afraid of them. But He then stresses to them that they should recognise that what really matters is not these passing achievements. What matters is that their names are written in Heaven, that they are citizens... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:18

‘And He said to them, “I beheld (or ‘I was beholding’) Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.” ’ Jesus replied that it was what they should expect, for He their Master had seen (or ‘was beholding’) Satan fall from Heaven ‘like lightning’. He was a defeated foe. ‘Like lightning’ may refer to the speed at which it happened, it happened in a flash, or to a vivid and symbolic picture of an angel of light (compare 2 Corinthians 11:14) falling into darkness. Lightning more suggests the latter. But... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:19

“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any way hurt you.” The result of Satan’s fall, whether seen as actually having happened or as potential, is that those who are in the Kingly Rule of God have authority over all his minions who can be trodden underfoot, for Jesus has given His ambassadors authority over them. And this is what they have been engaged in. There is here a glance towards Genesis 3:15 where... read more
