Context of Luke 9:51

49And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us. 50And Jesus said to him, Forbid [him] not, for he that is not against you is for you. And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him. 53And they did not receive him, because his face was [turned as] going to Jerusalem.

Commentaries on Luke 9:51

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 51That he should be received up - Bishop Pearce says: "I think the word must signify, of Jesus's retiring or withdrawing himself, and not of his being received up: because the word , here used before it, denotes a time completed, which that of his ascension was not then. The sense is, that the time was come, when Jesus was no longer to retire from Judea and the parts about Jerusalem as he had hitherto done; for he had lived altogether in Galilee, lest the…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 51Should be received up - The word here translated “received up” means literally a removal from a lower to a higher place, and here it refers evidently to the solemn ascension of Jesus to heaven. It is often used to describe that great event. See Acts 1:11, Acts 1:22; Mark 16:19; 1 Timothy 3:16. The time appointed for him to remain on the earth was about expiring, and he resolved to go to Jerusalem and die. And from this we learn that Jesus made a voluntary…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 51-56Verses 51-56 The disciples did not consider that the conduct of the Samaritans was rather the effect of national prejudices and bigotry, than of enmity to the word and worship of God; and through they refused to receive Christ and his disciples, they did not ill use or injure them, so that the case was widely different from that of Ahaziah and Elijah. Nor were they aware that the gospel dispensation was to be marked by miracles of mercy. But above all…Read the comment

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 51-5651. the time was come--rather, "the days were being fulfilled," or approaching their fulfilment. that he should be received up--"of His assumption," meaning His exaltation to the Father; a sublime expression, taking the sweep of His whole career, as if at one bound He was about to vault into glory. The work of Christ in the flesh is here divided into two great stages; all that preceded this belonging to the one, and all that follows it to the other…Read the comment
