Luke 10:34

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. Oil and wine-two very good things for external application, and he used them for that. Wondrous healers these were known to be. They were expensive things too. He had brought them for his own comfort,...

Luke 10:35

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

And on the morrow when he departed,.... Having taken care of him all night, and put him into a comfortable way, leaves him, though in good hands; as Christ does his people, to learn to live by faith upon him: and he took out two peace; two Roman denarii, or pence; which amount to about fifteen pence of our money, and were equal to the half shekel,...

Luke 10:35-36

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? He might have said, “ The Samaritan,” but he would not, for the Jews hated them.

Luke 10:35

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And on the morrow when he departed he took out two pence and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. “This is my piece of work. I want to finish it, and as I cannot stop will you kindly supply the ready money, and when I come again, I will repay you?”

Luke 10:36

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Which now of these three,.... The priest, the Levite, and the Samaritan, thinkest thou, was neighbour to him that fell among the thieves? the priest and Levite that passed by, and took no notice of him, and gave him no relief, neither by words nor actions; or the Samaritan, that did all the above kind and generous things to him?

Luke 10:36-37

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Oh, you lawyer, why did you not say “The Samaritan”? Of course, he did not like to use that word. Oh, no, we never mention them-the “Samaritans.” “The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans;” so he would not...

Luke 10:37

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

And he said, he that showed mercy to him,.... Meaning the Samaritan; which he was obliged to declare, though of another country and religion, and accounted as an enemy; yet the case was so plain, as put by Christ, that he could not with any honour or conscience, say otherwise: then said Jesus unto him, go and do thou likewise; such like acts of...

Luke 10:37

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. Here was a dismission, and here was a commission too. Jesus dismissed him. “I have nothing more to say to you; ‘Go.’” Here was the commission: “Do thou likewise.” Alas! I am afraid that, after most sermons people get the dismission: “Go;” but they forget...

Luke 10:38

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Now it came to pass as they went,.... As Christ and his disciples went from Jerusalem, having been at the feast of tabernacles, John 7:2 or at the feast of dedication, John 10:22 to some other parts of Judea: that he entered into a certain village; called Bethany, which was about fifteen furlongs, or two miles from Jerusalem, John 11:1 and a...

Luke 10:38

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. There were not so very many that kept open house for Christ. But Martha did. It was her house.

Luke 10:38-40

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to...

Luke 10:39

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

And she had a sister called Mary,.... Which also was a common name with the Jews, and is the same with Miriam; so we read of Mary, the daughter of Nicodemon, the same perhaps with Nicodemus; and the same person that is before called Martha, the daughter of Baithus, is sometimes called Mary, the daughter of Baithus (e), though these two names are...

Luke 10:39

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. She was free to do so. It was not her house. She need not attend to the hospitalities of it. Her sister was quite equal to it, and so Mary did well to avail herself of the opportunity of sitting at Jesus’ feet, and hearing his word.

Luke 10:40

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

But Martha was cumbered about much serving,.... "Or was drawn off", from hearing the word, from attending on Christ; being taken up in providing for him, and those that came with him; in dressing food, or in ordering her servants, how she would have every thing done, and in overlooking them, that every thing was done in proper order; so that she...

Luke 10:40

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. She wanted to get so much ready ¾to have everything nice. So she came almost scolding the Master. She was out of temper, surely, that day. She had got to be troubled. Dear...

Luke 10:41

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

And Jesus answered and said unto her,.... Calling her by her name, and repeating it, Martha, Martha, which expresses great intimacy and friendship, and much earnestness, and, as it were, pitying her present situation and circumstances: thou art careful and troubled about many things; intimating, that she was over anxious, and too solicitous, and...

Luke 10:41-42

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful: “Thou hast forgotten much. Looking after many things, thou hast failed to remember the chief, the only needful thing.”

Luke 10:41-42

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. I shall not tell her to leave my instruction said our Lord or to get up from the position which she occupies. No, you may go about your work,...
