Commentary

Commentary on Luke 10:19

Theological / Devotional

Power to tread. For a repetition of this promise see Mark 16:18, and for a fulfillment of it. Acts 28:3-5.

Power of the enemy. The word here translated “power” is dunamis, as compared with exousia, “authority,” given the Seventy (see on ch. 1:35). The first “power” in v. 19 is from exousia, and the second, from dunamis. Satan had dunamis over which the disciples were given exousia (see on Matt. 10:1).

Nothing shall by any means. In the Greek there is a triple negative, which gives the statement great force.
