26 public-domain excerpts on Luke 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Spurgeon 11 Calvin 6 Matthew Henry 5 Alexander MacLaren 2 John Wesley 1 George Whitefield 1

“Christ sent the seventy disciples, two and two, that they might strengthen and encourage one another. The ministry of the gospel calls men to receive Christ as a Prince and a Saviour; and he will surely come in the power of his Spirit to all places whither he sends his faithful servants. But the doom of those who receive the grace of God in vain, will be very fearful Those who despise the faithful ministers of Christ, who think meanly of them, and look scornfully upon them, will be reckoned as despisers of God and Christ.”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Luke 10:1–16 (Public Domain)
