How preachers through history handled this text
27 public-domain excerpts on Luke 17, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The kingdom of God was among the Jews, or rather within some of them. It was a spiritual kingdom, set up in the heart by the power of Divine grace. Observe how it had been with sinners formerly, and in what state the judgments of God, which they had been warned of, found them. Here is shown what a dreadful surprise this destruction will be to the secure and sensual. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Luke 17:20–50 (Public Domain)
