- "Take up your lodging in that house
which you enter into first, that is, do not be concerned about comfortable
lodging, as men do who plan to stay in a place a long
time: for here that solemn preaching of the gospel, which was used afterward when the Churches were settled, is not instituted: but these are sent abroad to all the coasts of Judea to show them that the last jubilee is at hand."

- "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!"
- From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
- "The mission, unlike that of the Twelve, was evidently quite temporary. All the instructions are in keeping with a brief and hasty pioneering mission, intended to supply what of general preparation for coming events the Lord's own visit afterwards to the same "cities and places" (Lu 10:1) would not, from want of time, now suffice to accomplish; whereas the instructions to the Twelve, besides embracing all those to the Seventy, contemplate world-wide and permanent effects."
- From The
People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
- "The victory of his disciples over the demons is the harbinger of another fall, when Satan and all his works shall be destroyed."

- "I wonder if the invitation to join the movement of God?s kingdom does not sometimes work like this. It is not about selling a brand name (?Christian?), but sharing a vision of change in such a way that means real participation in making it real in the here and now."

Exegetical Notes
by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
- "A word distinction that might be worth mentioning: Sometimes we are "disciples," that is, "learners." Sometimes we are "apostles," that is, "sent out ones." The old illustration of the Dead Sea might apply to some of our people -- all inflow with no outflow -- produces death."

- "Perhaps they need the preacher to preach a reverse-missionary story to let them see how much they feed the souls of others, how much they give to one another and how, in them, I find hope and authority to continue to proclaim good news."
-
"What Jesus Sees," Mary Hinkle, Pilgrim Preaching.
- "Perhaps it works to say that Jesus sees the beginning of a whole new age in our lives together as well as our congregational life together? If that is true, and if preaching is indeed the strange language that communicates the transformed future that has broken into time in Jesus Christ, then preaching could also be described as the proclamation of what Jesus sees."

"The 'Other'
Jesus,"
Expository Essay,
Luke 10:1-12, 17-20, Dr. William R. Long.
- "...there is a lot at stake in the sending of the disciples and in our mission today. The ultimate truth is that a spiritual reality is being played out beyond our field of vision."
- Articles & Background:
- "Seventy Disciples," "Chorazin," "Bethsaida," "Capernaum," wikipedia.
-
- "In Luke?s writings the ancient practice of hospitality?the custom of welcoming travelers or strangers into one?s home and establishing relationships with them?becomes the prism through which Jesus? disciples can view one another and others as valuable children of God."

"The
Tension between Poverty and Possessions in the Gospel of Luke,"
John Sheila Galligan, Spirituality Today, Spring 1985.
- "No fanatic about renunciation of possessions, Jesus nevertheless warned us that they could hinder our being open to the Kingdom and that we have to use them for others welfare."
- "The
Identity and Purpose of the Church," Paul D. Hanson, Harvard
Divinity School. Theology Today, 1985.
- "The church's purpose is not its own. The church is present in the world on behalf of the God by whose grace it has been called into existence. Thus, at the heart of the church's act of self definition is a basic theological question.-What is the nature of Gods presence in the world."
