What is the meaning of Luke chapter 12 verse 10?

Answer 1

here is a translation: At this time Jesus was full of the joy of the Holy Spirit. He said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth. You have kept these things hidden from the wise and from those who have much learning. You have shown them to little children. Yes, Father, it was what you wanted to be done. "

Answer 2

Interesting question. I have looked at half a dozen different translations and a number of discussions, and I've found interpretations as disparate as these:

* This is Jesus' testimony as witness to the casting out of Lucifer from heaven. * This is a metaphorical statement about the coming of evil to earth, where we must deal with it. * This is a tribute to the work of the seventy-two missionaries, who are triumphing over evil and bringing the kingdom of heaven closer to earth. Speaking personally, I don't think any of those explanations makes as much sense as this one (also linked below):

Answer 3

AnswerLuke 4:18-19 consists of the words that Jesus read from The Bible, in the synagogue at Nazareth (KJV): The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

This must be from Isaiah 61:1-2, to which we should go to find what the reading means (KJV): The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD [Hebrew Bible: "a year of acceptance for the Lord"], and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

Here, the Book of Isaiah is talking of the captives in Babylon, and how he is to bring them good tidings of their release and return to Jerusalem. There is of course no mention of recovering the sight of the blind.

Interestingly, the passage in Luke, taken at face value, has enough minor changes that, with the addition of the reference to the blind, it makes the passage in Isaiah seem to prefigure the mission of Jesus. If the misquotation of Isaiah was deliberate, we must assume that it was Luke who did this, since Jesus never sinned.

Answer 4

This is the sin of which the Pharisees were guilty in Matthew 12:22-32.

It is the sin of attributing the miracles of the Lord Jesus to the devil. It is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit because Jesus performed all His miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, it was, in effect, saying that the Holy Spirit of God is the devil. There is no forgiveness for this sin in this age or in the age to come. - summarised from the Bible Believers Commentary.

Answer 5

In Luke 12:10, Jesus is warning against blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which refers to attributing the works of God to evil forces. This is considered a serious sin that will not be forgiven. Jesus emphasizes the importance of respecting and acknowledging the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
