(Notes Reference) He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be (g) holy.

(g) That is, consecrate to the Lord.

(Lev 27:11) And if it be any vncleane beast, of which men do not offer a sacrifice vnto the Lord, hee shall then present the beast before the Priest.

(Lev 27:12) And the Priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: and as thou valuest it, which art the Priest, so shall it bee.

(Notes Reference) And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD [some part] of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an (i) homer of barley seed [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver.

(Lev 27:17) If he dedicate his field immediatly from the yeere of Iubile, it shall bee worth as thou doest esteeme it.

(Lev 27:18) But if hee dedicate his fielde after the Iubile, then the Priest shall recken him the money according to ye yeeres that remaine vnto the yere of Iubile, and it shalbe abated by thy estimation.

(Lev 27:22) If a man also dedicate vnto ye Lord a fielde which he hath bought, which is not of the groud of his inheritance,

(Lev 27:23) Then the Priest shall set the price to him, as thou esteemest it, vnto the yeere of Iubile, and he shall giue thy price the same day, as a thing holy vnto the Lord.

(Lev 27:27) But if it be an vncleane beast, then he shall redeeme it by thy valuation, and giue the fift part more thereto: and if it be not redeemed, then it shalbe solde, according to thy estimation.

(Lev 27:28) Notwithstanding, nothing separate from the common vse that a man doeth separate vnto the Lord of all that he hath (whether it bee man or beast, or lande of his inheritance) may be solde nor redeemed: for euery thing separate from the common vse is most holy vnto the Lord.

(Notes Reference) None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; [but] shall surely be (o) put to death.

(Lev 27:30) Also all the tithe of the lande both of the seede of the ground, and of the fruite of the trees is the Lords: it is holy to the Lord.

(Lev 27:31) But if a man will redeeme any of his tithe, he shall adde the fift part thereto.

Passage 3: Luke 10

(Luk 10:1) After these thinges, the Lord appointed other seuentie also, and sent them, two and two before him into euery citie and place, whither he himselfe should come.

(Notes Reference) After (1) these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

(1) The seventy are sent as the second forewarners of the coming of Christ.

(Luk 10:2) And he said vnto them, The haruest is great, but the labourers are fewe: pray therefore the Lord of the haruest to sende foorth labourers into his haruest.

(Luk 10:4) Beare no bagge, neither scrippe, nor shoes, and salute no man by the way.

(Notes Reference) Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute (a) no man by the way.

(a) This is spoken figuratively, which manner of speech men use when they put down more in words than is meant. This is usual among the Hebrews when they command a thing to be done speedily without delay, as is found in (2Ki 4:29); for in any other case courteous and gentle salutations are matters of Christian duty: as for the calling, it was only for a limited time.

(Luk 10:5) And into whatsoeuer house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

(Luk 10:6) And if the sonne of peace be there, your peace shall rest vpon him: if not, it shall turne to you againe.

(Notes Reference) And if (b) the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

(Luk 10:7) And in that house tary still, eating and drinking such things as by them shall be set before you: for the labourer is worthy of his wages. Goe not from house to house.

(Notes Reference) And in the same house (c) remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

(c) Take up your lodging in that house which you enter into first, that is, do not be concerned about comfortable lodging, as men do who plan to stay in a place a long time: for here that solemn preaching of the gospel, which was used afterward when the Churches were settled, is not instituted: but these are sent abroad to all the coasts of Judea to show them that the last jubilee is at hand.

(Luk 10:8) But into whatsoeuer citie ye shall enter, if they receiue you, eate such things as are set before you,

(Notes Reference) And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, (d) eat such things as are set before you:

(d) Be content with the food that is set before you.

(Luk 10:9) And heale the sicke that are there, and say vnto them, The kingdome of God is come neere vnto you.

(Notes Reference) (3) But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

(3) God is a most severe avenger of the ministry of his gospel.

(Luk 10:11) Euen the very dust, which cleaueth on vs of your citie, we wipe off against you: notwithstanding knowe this, that the kingdome of God was come neere vnto you.

(Luk 10:12) For I say to you, that it shall be easier in that day for them of Sodom, then for that citie.

(Luk 10:13) Woe be to thee, Chorazin: woe be to thee, Beth-saida: for if the miracles had bene done in Tyrus and Sidon, which haue bene done in you, they had a great while agone repented, sitting in sackecloth and ashes.

(Luk 10:14) Therefore it shall be easier for Tyrus, and Sidon, at the iudgement, then for you.

(Luk 10:15) And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heauen, shalt be thrust downe to hell.

(Luk 10:16) He that heareth you, heareth me: and he that despiseth you, despiseth me: and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.

(Luk 10:17) And the seuentie turned againe with ioy, saying, Lord, euen the deuils are subdued to vs through thy Name.

(Notes Reference) (4) And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us (e) through thy name.

(4) Neither the gift of miracles, neither any other excellent gift, but only our election gives us an occasion of true joy. And only the publishing of the gospel is the destruction of Satan.

(e) For Christ's disciples used no absolute authority, but performed the miracles they did by calling upon Christ's name.

(Luk 10:18) And he said vnto them, I sawe Satan, like lightening, fall downe from heauen.

(Notes Reference) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning (f) fall from heaven.

(f) Paul writes that the location of the devil and his angels is in the air, as is found in (Eph 6:12), and he is said to be cast down from there by force, when his power is abolished by the voice of the Gospel.

(Luk 10:19) Beholde, I giue vnto you power to treade on Serpents, and Scorpions, and ouer all the power of the enemie, and nothing shall hurt you.

(Notes Reference) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means (g) hurt you.

(g) Will do you wrong.

(Luk 10:20) Neuerthelesse, in this reioyce not, that the spirits are subdued vnto you: but rather reioyce, because your names are written in heauen.

(Luk 10:21) That same houre reioyced Iesus in the spirit, and said, I confesse vnto thee, Father, Lord of heauen and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and vnderstanding, and hast reueiled them to babes: euen so, Father, because it so pleased thee.

(Notes Reference) (5) In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the (h) wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

(5) The Church is contemptible, if we consider its outward appearance, but the wisdom of God is most marvellous in it.

(h) Of this world.

(Luk 10:22) All things are giuen me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Sonne is, but the Father: neither who the Father is, saue the Sonne, and he to whom the Sonne will reueile him.

(Notes Reference) (6) All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and [he] to whom the Son will reveal [him].

(6) Whoever seeks the Father without the Son wanders out of the way.

(Luk 10:23) And he turned to his disciples, and said secretly, Blessed are the eyes, which see that ye see.

(Notes Reference) (7) And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see:

(7) The difference between the Old Testament and the New consists in the measure of revelation.

(Luk 10:24) For I tell you that many Prophets and Kings haue desired to see those things, which ye see, and haue not seene them: and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them.

(Luk 10:25) Then beholde, a certaine Lawyer stoode vp, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I doe, to inherite eternall life?

(Notes Reference) (8) And, behold, (i) a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

(8) Faith does not take away but establishes the doctrine of the law.

(i) One of those who proclaimed himself to be learned in the rites and laws of Moses.

(Luk 10:26) And he saide vnto him, What is written in the Lawe? howe readest thou?

(Luk 10:27) And he answered, and saide, Thou shalt loue thy Lord God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy strength, and with all thy thought, and thy neighbour as thy selfe.

(Luk 10:28) Then he said vnto him, Thou hast answered right: this doe, and thou shalt liue.

(Luk 10:29) But he willing to iustifie himselfe, said vnto Iesus, Who is then my neighbour?

(Notes Reference) (9) But he, willing (k) to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

(9) The law defines our neighbour as anyone at all that we may help.

(k) That is, to vouch his righteousness, or show that he was just, that is, void of all faults: and (Jam. 5:1-20) uses the word of justification in this sense.

(Luk 10:30) And Iesus answered, and saide, A certaine man went downe from Hierusalem to Iericho, and fell among theeues, and they robbed him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leauing him halfe dead.

(Luk 10:31) Nowe so it fell out, that there came downe a certaine Priest that same way, and when he sawe him, he passed by on the other side.

(Luk 10:32) And likewise also a Leuite, when he was come neere to the place, went and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

(Luk 10:33) Then a certaine Samaritane, as he iourneyed, came neere vnto him, and when he sawe him, he had compassion on him,

(Luk 10:34) And went to him, and bound vp his wounds, and powred in oyle and wine, and put him on his owne beast, and brought him to an Inne, and made prouision for him.

(Luk 10:35) And on the morowe when he departed, he tooke out two pence, and gaue them to the hoste, and said vnto him, Take care of him, and whatsoeuer thou spendest more, when I come againe, I will recompense thee.

(Luk 10:36) Which nowe of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour vnto him that fell among the theeues?

(Luk 10:37) And he saide, He that shewed mercie on him. Then said Iesus vnto him, Goe, and do thou likewise.

(Luk 10:38) Nowe it came to passe, as they went, that he entred into a certaine towne, and a certaine woman named Martha, receiued him into her house.

(Notes Reference) (10) Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

(10) Christ does not desire to be waited upon in a delicate manner, but to be heard diligently; this is that which he especially requires.

(Luk 10:39) And she had a sister called Marie, which also sate at Iesus feete, and heard his preaching.

(Luk 10:40) But Martha was combred about much seruing, and came to him, and saide, Master, doest thou not care that my sister hath left me to serue alone? bid her therefore, that she helpe me.

(Luk 10:41) And Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Martha, Martha, thou carest, and art troubled about many things:

(Luk 10:42) But one thing is needefull, Marie hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
