Footnotes

  1. Luke 10:4 This is spoken after the manner of a figure, which men use, when they put down more in words, than is meant: usually among the Hebrews, when they command a thing to be done speedily without delay, as 2 Kings 4:29: for otherwise courteous and gentle salutations, are points of Christian duty: as for the calling it was but for a season.
  2. Luke 10:6 So speak the Hebrews: that is, he that favoreth the doctrine of peace and embraceth it.
