Commentary

Commentary on Luke 10:15

Theological / Devotional

Exalted to heaven. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 146) reading this opening clause as a question: “Will you be exalted to heaven?” (see RSV). Compare the spirit that motivated Satan (Isa. 14:13-15).

Hell. Gr. hades, “grave,” or “death”; that is, the realm of the dead (see on Matt. 11:23; 16:18; cf. Isa. 14:15). Men are not to meet with condemnation in the great final day of judgment because they have believed error, but because they have neglected Heaven-provided opportunities for knowing what is truth (see DA 490).
