Luke 10 with Commentaries, verse by verse
In Luke 10.1-12, Jesus sent out another seventy two (Luke 10.4.12; Luke 9.3-5) in groups of two ahead of him to every town and place where he was to go. He spoke about the harvest being plentiful but the laborers are few. The same principle of nott taking a purse or bag or sandal applies, staying at people’s homes to those who are hospitable and to those who are in hospitable, wipe the dust off their feet. Those who reject the message will be punished. The principles that Jesus gave are principles we should use when considering discipleship and evangelism. Are doing evangelism and discipleship in our lives for the advancement of His Kingdom.
Jesus continued his instructions to the seventy two that he sent out. Those who reject the message who regret their decision. He then said to them in verse 16, "He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me." (NKJV). The seventy-two came back with good news of their mission, that even the demons submit to them in Jesus’ name’ Jesus reminded them that they should rejoice that their name are written in heaven, than the demons submitting ti them, He praised God that He had revealed it to the seventy-two, the little children as He called them not to the wise and learned of the world (1Corinthians 1.25). The he said to them "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; in verse 24 "for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it." (NKJV).
