Wesley's Notes on the Bible
Luke X
2. Pray ye the Lord of the harvest, that he would thrust forth labourers - For
God alone can do this: he alone can qualify and commission men for this work.
Matt. ix, 37.
3. Matt. x, 16.
4. Salute no man by the way - The salutations usual among the Jews took up much
time. But these had so much work to do in so short a space, that they had not a
moment to spare.
6. A son of peace - That is, one worthy of it.
7. Matt. x, 11.
11. The kingdom of God is at hand - Though ye will not receive it.
13. Woe to thee, Chorazin - The same declaration Christ had made some time
before. By repeating it now, he warns the seventy not to lose time by going to
those cities. Matt. xi, 21.
16. Matt. x, 40; John xiii, 20.
18. I beheld Satan - That is, when ye went forth, I saw the kingdom of Satan,
which was highly exalted, swiftly and suddenly cast down.
19. I give you power - That is, I continue it to you: and nothing shall hurt you
- Neither the power, nor the subtilty of Satan.
20. Rejoice not so much that the devils are subject to you, as that your names
are written in heaven - Reader, so is thine, if thou art a true, believer. God
grant it may never be blotted out!
21. Lord of heaven and earth - In both of which thy kingdom stands, and that of
Satan is destroyed. That thou hast hid these things - He rejoiced not in the
destruction of the wise and prudent, but in the display of the riches of God's
grace to others, in such a manner as reserves to Him the entire glory of our
salvation, and hides pride from man. Matt. xi, 25.
22. Who the Son is - Essentially one with the Father: who the Father is - How
great, how wise, how good!
23. Matt. xiii, 16.
