John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 15. And thou Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven , etc.] Referring either to the situation of it, which was on a very high hill; or to its privileges, through the ministry and miracles of Christ; or the phrase may be expressive of the pride and loftiness of the inhabitants of it, who were elated with the mercies they enjoyed, it being a most delightful, pleasant, and comfortable place to live in, as its name signifies. It was a famous port, commodiously situated by the sea of Tiberias; and, as Josephus says, was in an excellent temperament of the air, and watered with a most choice fountain, called by the same name. Shalt be thrust down into hell ; meaning either the low condition to which it was to be, and has been reduced in a temporal sense, and continues in to this day; there being nothing of it now remaining, as travellers, who have been eyewitnesses of it, say f344 , but a few little houses and cottages; or else the sad and miserable condition of the inhabitants of it hereafter: and so it is, that such who have lived in great plenty and pleasure in this life, and have thought themselves to be the favourites of heaven, and that they should enter there, shall be thrust down to hell by the arm of vengeance, with the utmost indignation in God, and shame to themselves: it follows in Matthew, �for if the mighty works which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day; but I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, than for thee�.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-16 - Christ sent the seventy disciples, two and two, that they migh strengthen and encourage one another. The ministry of the gospel call men to receive Christ as a Prince and a Saviour; and he will surel come in the power of his Spirit to all places whither he sends his faithful servants. But the doom of those who receive the grace of God in vain, will be very fearful Those who despise the faithful minister of Christ, who think meanly of them, and look scornfully upon them will be reckoned as despisers of God and Christ.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

15. Which are exalted to heaven. For hJ, the article, rendered which, the best texts give mh, the interrogative particle; and for the participle having been exalted, the future shalt be exalted. Render, as Rev., Shalt thou be exalted, etc.?

Hell. Rev., Hades. See on Matt. xvi. 18.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

10:15 {Shalt thou be exalted?} (me huywqesei;). me expects the answer No. The verb is future passive indicative second singular of huyow, to lift up, a late verb from huyos, height. It is used by Jesus of the Cross (#Joh 12:32). {Unto Hades} (hews haidou). See on �Mt 16:18 for this word which is here in contrast to Heaven as in #Isa 14:13-15. Hades is not gehenna. "The desolation of the whole neighborhood, and the difficulty of identifying even the site of these flourishing towns, is part of the fulfilment of this prophecy" (Plummer). Ragg notes the omission of Nazareth from this list of cities of neglected privilege and opportunity. "Is it the tender memories of boyhood that keep from His liy the name of the arch-rejector (#4:28 sqq.) Nazareth?"
