Luke 9

He struck at Peter's salvation, insomuch that Christ says, If I wash you not, you have no part in me. So again, when the Samaritans would not receive Christ, the disciples, James and John said, Lord, will you that we command fire from Heaven to consume them? (Luke 9:54). They di…

Qu. 9. How do we in our observation, profess our subjection to the Lord Jesus Christ and his Gospel? Answ. In that being all of them 1. Appointed by him as the head law-giver, King of his Church. And 2. Made by him the ensigns and tokens of his Kingdom, and subjects, in their du…

And so was our Savior Christ by Herod, when he was but a babe: whereupon his Parents fled with him into Egypt for his safety. And answerable to their infancy was the rest of their life; full of danger, full of trouble: And as it was with them, so is it with others; second Timoth…

Some there be that know but little, and yet have a good mind to religion; but when they see some do nothing else, but make a mock and a jest of religion, they are thereby daunted and held back from the open profession, and embracing of it. But if we look to be saved by faith, as…

For as he shall visibly and gloriously appear in his human nature exalted in the supreme place of judicature, and invested with sovereign power and authority over all flesh (Daniel 7:13, Matthew 24:30, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Romans 14:10), so he shall act the power and omniscienc…

2. We must submit to his government: he must rule us; dispense to us, dispose of us, and of all that does concern us, as he will: and he that will be his disciple must deny himself, take up his cross and follow him (Matthew 16:24). This is difficult, and yet it must be done, and…

This petition puts us in mind to bewail these wants. Our Savior, when he saw the Jews as sheep without a shepherd, he had compassion on them: and he wept over Jerusalem, because they knew not the things which belong to their peace (Luke 9:11). Therefore when preachers want, to h…

For the law in itself is the ministry of death and damnation, because it shows a man his wretched estate but shows him no remedy, therefore it cannot properly be an instrumental cause of that repentance which is effectual to salvation. But the doctrine of repentance is a part of…

Such wrongs, such grievings of spirit, and yet have contained? The disciples themselves, though holy men, when they were sensible of being slighted in the Village of Samaria, called for fire from Heaven (Luke 9:54). Certainly we could not endure such a contradiction of sinners:…

The Jews of old had such an opinion concerning mad men (John 10:20). Consider also (Matthew 17:14–18) with (Luke 9:39). Whatever of solidity may be in that notion, is not a place here to dispute; but this is certain, that distracted persons have been restored to the use of their…

1. A forwardness in men to give up their names to Christ, to become his followers and professed disciples; to enroll their names in that little flock and company, that are for heaven (Matthew 8:19). "Master," said that scribe, "I will follow you, wherever you go" (Luke 9:61-62).…

This petition puts us in mind to bewail these wants. Our Savior, when he saw the Jews, as sheep without a shepherd, he had compassion on them, and he wept over Jerusalem, because they knew not the things which belonged to their peace (Luke 9:11). Therefore, when preachers want,…

We have in these times a wanton generation that have risen up, that cannot endure to go to plow, they would be doing nothing but taking in the sweet, (as I told you before in a former exercise) treading out the corn. But this plowing they cry out of merely through a wantonness,…

Yet, just as He taught that no one could come to Him unless he were drawn by His Father (John 6:44), so He receives no one into His fold who has not professed true repentance. Indeed, He not only denies that anyone belongs to His church whose righteousness does not exceed the ri…

The Second ground is, the commandement of God, touching the crosse, and obedience unto him therein. This commandement is expressed, Luk. 9. 23. where we are commanded to take vp our crosse euery day, and follow Christ. Abraham was commanded, with his own hands to sacrifice his o…

Zeal for evil (Matthew 10:21). Zeal for good beyond knowledge (Luke 9:53). In feeling, the affections must be so ordered, as that they may be equally more slack or strong, as the good or evil shall be greater or lesser.

If you believed that the way to heaven is so narrow, and that holiness is so extensive, could you possibly with any seriousness reflect on your heart and way and not be frightened? But the truth is, this word gets not leave to sink in you as the Word of God; therefore our Lord s…

The last word of his prayer is, Turn me and I shall be turned, or convert me, and I shall be converted; he sees that when all is done, he must cleanse his hands and leave the matter to God, I cannot, but you can work the work, and it ends sweetly in words of faith, for you are t…

And then when he came to his public ministry, he has no great folks for his followers and disciples, but a few poor fishermen; over and above whom he does not exalt himself loftily, but humbles himself to wash their feet, and to serve them. And to hold forth this a little furthe…

The Saints in this life are narrow vessels; and such old bottles could not contain the new wine that Christ drinks with his, in his Father's Kingdom (Matthew 17). When the Disciples see the glory of Christ in the Mount, Peter says (Verse 4), Lord, it is good for us to be here: b…

Answer 1. It is true the Gospel is contrary to nature, and not one article more thwarts and crosses carnal wisdom, than that of imputed righteousness; that crosses moral philosophy so much, as we can more easily believe the rising of the dead, or any the greatest miracle, the dr…

She could neither have loved him nor have sought him, nor have so known the worth of him, if he had not loved her first, and if she in some measure had not had him: But when she says she found him not, the meaning is, not in that feeling and comfort, not in that measure she soug…

Christ had right and title to all, all was his due; yet he was much in prayer; how dare we go about any business without his leave, counsel, and blessing, and usurp any of his blessings without begging them by prayer. 2. While he prayed he was transfigured (Luke 9:29), which tea…

The use of it was double. 1. To convey Moses and Elias out of their sight, when this conference was ended: therefore some expound that which is said (Luke 9:34), they feared as they entered into the cloud after this manner, the disciples feared when they saw Moses and Elias ente…

Secondly, hence I gather, that there is no consultation, or deliberation, to be used at any time, touching the holding, or not holding of our religion. He that will follow Christ, may not put his hand to the plow, and then look back again to his friends, to see what they will sa…

Answer: God is faithful, and will not lay on us more than we shall be able to bear (1 Corinthians 10:3). By this we are admonished, not to make a reckoning in this world, of pleasure, and delight, as though the Gospel were a Gospel of ease, and as we use to say, a gospel made of…

The disciples of Christ would have excluded one that cast out deuills in the name of Christ, but did not follow him, and Christ forbad them. Luk 9:49. Lastly, we here see the propertie of deceiuers is to make a division betweene the Pastors and the people.

One is blindness of mind, which makes us that we see not how little our faith and repentance is, and how great is the mass of our corruption: the second, is our unbelief in the article of life everlasting. The third duty is, that we must neither look to the right or left hand, o…

Again, hence I gather, that in the prime of the Church in the Apostles' days, when the Church of the New Testament was but in founding, the ministry was in contempt: and (as it may appear out of other places) the ministers were not only neglected, or contemned, but reviled, pers…

In whom my soul delights.] By this testimony we may conceive that Jesus Christ is not only well pleasing to God his Father, but is also that his only beloved Son: so as there is no obtaining of any grace, but by the means of his intercession. In this sense it is alleged by the E…

the unclean spirits. Luke 9:1-2 1. And having called the twelve,

38. For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Luke 9:26 26. For whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of h…

Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. Luke 9:3-5 3. And he said to them, Carry nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a scrip, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two coats each.

MATTHEW 8:19-22; LUKE 9:57-62 Matthew 8:19-22

13. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many diseased persons, and healed them. Luke 9:6 6. And they departed, and went round about through the villages “Eux donc estans partis alloyent de village en village a l’entour;” — “they then having set out, went from vi…

16. But when Herod heard that, he said, It is John whom I beheaded, he has risen from the dead. Luke 9:7-9 7. Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that Christ had risen from the dead;

44. Now they who had eaten were about five thousand men. Luke 9:10-17 10. And the Apostles, having returned,

And Peter answering said to him, Thou art the Christ. Luke 9:18-20 18. And it happened, when he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him, and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

38. For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him likewise will the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Luke 9:21-27 Mark 9:1

8. And suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no other person, but Jesus alone with them. Luke 9:28-36 28. And it happened about eight days after these words, and he took Peter, and James, and John, and went up to a mountain to pray.

27. But Jesus stretched out his hand, and raised him; and he stood up. Luke 9:37-43 37. And it happened on the following day, while they were going down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

37. Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives not me, but him that sent me. Luke 9:43-48 43. But while all were wondering at everything that he did, he said to his disciples,

13. But I say to you, That Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him. Luke 9:36 36. And they kept silence, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

40. For he who is not against us is for us. Luke 9:49-56 49. And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he follows not with us.

Sometimes it denotes any matter or thing, be it good or evil; as Matthew 5:11, 12, 36. 18:16. Mark 9:22. Luke 1:37. 2:15, 18, 34. A word of blessing by providence (Matthew 4:4); any word spoken (Matthew 26:75. 27:14. Luke 9:45); of promise (Luke 1:38); and [〈 in non-Latin alphab…

For they being ignorant of the true way and means whereby the Apostle wrought his miraculous works, after the manner of magicians they used the name of him whom he preached, in their exorcisms, as it was ever the custom of that sort of men to intermix their charms with the names…

As we must bewaile the wants that hinder the doing of Gods will in our selues and others; so we must stirre up our hearts unto heauenly desires after those graces whereby Gods will may be done. As first, that we may have grace to denie our selues, our own wills and affections; f…

Like those choleric disciples that presently would command fire to come down from heaven to consume those who had affronted them by refusing to give them entertainment; only that God by such a severe miracle might vindicate their reputation, and revenge the contempt that was don…

As it is (Isaiah 28:25). And hence that expression (Luke 9:62): He that puts his hand to the plow, and looks back, is not fit for the Kingdom of Heaven. The meaning is, that as he that plows, must have his eyes always forward, to guide and direct his hand in casting the furrows…

It looked like the zeal of God in the disciples to desire to call for fire from heaven to burn the Samaritans old and young; it was a cruel and merciless thing to refuse Christ and his disciples lodging. But says Christ, rebuking them (Luke 9:55), you know not what manner of spi…
