Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge

VERSE (4) - Lu 9:3 *etc:

SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:4

No llevis bolsa, ni alforja, ni calzado; y a nadie saludis en el camino.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 10:4

Verse 4. Carry neither purse nor scrip] See on Matt. x. 9, &c., and Mark vi. 8, &c.

Salute no man by the way.] According to a canon of the Jews, a man who was about any sacred work was exempted from all civil obligations for the time; forasmuch as obedience to God was of infinitely greater consequence than the cultivation of private friendships, or the returning of civil compliments.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 4. Carry neither purse , etc.] The Syriac version reads, purses, to put money, gold, silver, and brass in; and the prohibition regards the money in the purse chiefly: nor scrip ; the Syriac version here also reads in the plural number, scrips, to put victuals in, provisions or any sort for their journey, which they were not to carry with them, any more than money, to buy food with Nor shoes ; any more than those they had upon their feet; (See Gill on Matthew 10:9-10) and salute no man by the way; that they might not be retarded, and hindered in their journey by tedious ceremonies, and long inquiries into the health of persons and friends, and the business they were going about, and places where; and by discourses and confabulations, drawn out to great length, as was often the case at meeting on the road: and, for the same reason, a like charge is given to Gehazi, ( 2 Kings 4:29), and which, as the Jewish commentators on the place observe f338 , was, that he might not multiply words with persons he met with, and might not be stopped by the way; and that his intention might be in his work, and his mind might not turn to any other thing, either by word or deed. So our Lord's intention, by this order was, not to teach them incivility, or to be morose and uncourteous; but that they might dispatch their business with the utmost expedition, and rather forego some common civilities and ceremonies, than to neglect, or, in the least, to hinder a work of so much importance they were sent about: and this was the more necessary, since, according to the Jewish maxim f339 , prevent every man with a salutation; they saluted all that they met, which took up time, and hindered business.

Some sorts of persons indeed were excused, as those who were mourners for the dead, and such as kept fasts for rain f341 : but such were not these disciples; they neither mourned, nor fasted, nor could they, so long as the bridegroom was with them.

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

4. Purse (ballantion). Used by Luke only. For money.

Scrip (phran). For victuals. Rev., wallet.

Shoes. Not that they were to go unshod, but that they were not to carry a change of sandals. See Deut. xxix. 5; xxxiii. 25.

Salute no man. Oriental salutations are tedious and complicated. The command is suited to a rapid and temporary mission. Compare 2 Kings iv. 29. "These instructions were also intended to reprove another propensity which an Oriental can hardly resist, no matter how urgent his business. If he meets an acquaintance, he must stop and make an endless number of inquiries, and answer as many. If they come upon men making a bargain, or discussing any other matter, they must pause and intrude their own ideas, and enter keenly into the business, though it in nowise concerns them; and, more especially, an Oriental can never resist the temptation to assist when accounts are being settled or money counted out. The clink of coin has a positive fascination to them" (Thomson, "Land and Book").

Robertson's NT Word Studies

10:4 {Purse} (ballantion). Old word for money-bag, sometimes a javelin as if from ballw. Only in Luke in the N.T. (#10:4; 12:33; 22:35ff.). See #Lu 9:3; Mr 6:7f.; Mt 10:9f. for the other similar items. {Salute no man on the way} (medena kata ten hodon aspasesqe). First aorist (ingressive) middle subjunctive with medena. The peril of such wayside salutations was palaver and delay. The King's business required haste. Elisha's servant was not to tarry for salutations or salaams (#2Ki 4:29). These oriental greetings were tedious, complicated, and often meddlesome if others were present or engaged in a bargain.
