Luke 10:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 10:21

19 Behold, ^aI give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but¹ rather rejoice because ^ayour names are written in heaven.”

Jesus Rejoices in the Spirit

21 ^aIn that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

22 ^aAll things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and ^bno one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”

23 Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, ^a“Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see;

24 for I tell you ^athat 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.”

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 And behold, a certain¹ lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, ^a“Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”

27 So he answered and said, “ ^a‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ^b‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and ^ayou will live.”

29 But he, wanting to ^ajustify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among¹ thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, ^ahe passed by on the other side.

32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain ^aSamaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had ^bcompassion.

34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
