Commentaries on Luke 9:55
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 55Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of - Ye do not consider that the present is a dispensation of infinite mercy and love; and that the design of God is not to destroy sinners, but to give them space to repent, that he may save them unto eternal life.

It is rather a love of revenge; rather revengeful feelings toward the “Samaritans” than proper feelings toward “me.” We learn here: 1.That “apparent” zeal for God may be only improper opposition toward our fellow-men. 2.That people, when they wish to honor God, should examine their spirit, and see if there is not lying at…Read the comment

Nor were they aware that the gospel dispensation was to be marked by miracles of mercy. But above all…Read the comment

The sparks of unholy indignation would seize readily enough on this example of Elias, though our Lord's rebuke (as is plain from Lu 9:56) is directed to the principle involved rather than the animal heat which doubtless prompted the reference.
