Luke 10
1. Jesus sends out at once seventy disciples to work miracles, and to preach;
13. pronounces a woe against certain cities.
17. The seventy return with joy;
18. he shows them wherein to rejoice,
21. and thanks his Father for his grace;
23. magnifies the happy estate of his church;
25. teaches the lawyer how to attain eternal life,
30. and tells the parable of the good Samaritan;
38. reprimands Martha, and commends Mary her sister.














He answered
This phrase introduces the response of an expert in the law, who is engaging with Jesus. The context is a dialogue where Jesus is asked about inheriting eternal life. The Greek word for "answered" is "apokrinomai," which implies a thoughtful response. This sets the stage for a profound teaching moment, emphasizing the importance of understanding and articulating one's faith.

‘Love the Lord your God
This commandment is rooted in the Shema, found in Deuteronomy 6:5. The Greek word for "love" here is "agapao," which denotes a selfless, sacrificial love. This phrase underscores the centrality of devotion to God in the life of a believer, calling for a relationship that is not merely emotional but involves the will and intellect.

with all your heart
The term "heart" in Greek is "kardia," which in biblical terms often refers to the center of one's being, encompassing emotions, desires, and will. This phrase calls for a total commitment to God, where one's innermost thoughts and feelings are aligned with divine will.

and with all your soul
The Greek word for "soul" is "psyche," which can mean life or self. This phrase suggests a devotion that encompasses one's entire life force and identity. Historically, the soul was seen as the essence of a person, and this commandment calls for that essence to be fully dedicated to God.

and with all your strength
"Strength" in Greek is "ischys," referring to physical power and capability. This phrase implies that loving God is not just an internal or spiritual act but involves tangible actions and efforts. It calls believers to serve God with their physical abilities and resources.

and with all your mind
The Greek word "dianoia" is used here, meaning intellect or understanding. This phrase highlights the importance of engaging one's cognitive faculties in the love of God. It suggests that faith is not blind but involves thoughtful reflection and comprehension of God's truths.

and Love your neighbor
This commandment is linked to Leviticus 19:18 and is central to Jesus' teaching. The Greek word "agapao" is again used for "love," indicating a selfless concern for others. This phrase expands the scope of love from God to fellow humans, emphasizing the interconnectedness of divine and human relationships.

as yourself
The phrase "as yourself" implies a standard of care and concern that one naturally has for oneself. It calls for empathy and equality in relationships, urging believers to treat others with the same respect and kindness they desire. This reflects the biblical principle of the Golden Rule and underscores the ethical dimension of Christian love.
