Context of Luke 7:21
19And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 20And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight. 22And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them. 23And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.

Commentaries on Luke 7:21
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 21Infirmities and plagues - The following judicious note from Bp. Pearce is worthy of deep attention: "Luke mentions here , Ϛ, leprosias, and , i.e. diseases or ill habits of body, sores or lamenesses, and evil spirits: from whence we may conclude that evil spirits are reckoned by him (who speaks of distempers with more accuracy than the other evangelists) as things different from any disorders of the body, included in the two former words."

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 19-35Verses 19-35 To his miracles in the kingdom of nature, Christ adds this in the kingdom of grace, To the poor the gospel is preached.

He wondered if Jesus was truly the Christ since Jesus did not act like a powerful political king who would defeat the Romans. In response, Jesus defined his role as God's chosen king.Read the comment
