The number seventy-two is significant, as it may symbolize the nations of the world, reflecting the table of nations in <a href="/genesis/10.htm">Genesis 10</a>. Their return with joy indicates the success of their mission and the fulfillment of Jesus' instructions. This joy is a common theme in the New Testament, often associated with the presence and work of the Holy Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22</a>).and said, “Lord, The use of "Lord" here acknowledges Jesus' authority and divinity. In the cultural and historical context, calling someone "Lord" was a sign of respect and recognition of their higher status. This title for Jesus is consistent throughout the New Testament, affirming His role as the Messiah and the Son of God (<a href="/philippians/2-11.htm">Philippians 2:11</a>).even the demons submit to us This statement highlights the authority given to the disciples over demonic forces. In the Jewish context, demons were considered evil spirits opposed to God. The disciples' ability to command them demonstrates the power of Jesus' name and the coming of God's kingdom. This authority over demons is a sign of the messianic age prophesied in the Old Testament (<a href="/isaiah/61.htm">Isaiah 61:1</a>).in Your name.” The phrase "in Your name" signifies acting under the authority and power of Jesus. In biblical terms, a name represents the essence and authority of a person. The disciples' success in casting out demons underscores the power inherent in Jesus' name, as seen in other scriptures where His name is invoked for healing and miracles (<a href="/acts/3-6.htm">Acts 3:6</a>, <a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-10</a>). This reflects the early Christian understanding of Jesus as the source of divine power and authority.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_seventy-two_disciples.htm">The Seventy-Two Disciples</a> These are the followers of Jesus who were sent out in pairs to every town and place where He was about to go.

The tone in which the disciples speak is that of a joyful surprise. They had not looked for such great and immediate results. They had thought that the power to cast out demons had been confined to our Lord's immediate action or to that of the Twelve, and they found that they too possessed the power to rescue the spirits of men from thraldom. With them, as with others, the consciousness of a new power was attended with a new pleasure, in this case, with that of high spiritual exultation.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 17. - And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy Name. How wavering and hesitating the faith of the chosen followers of Jesus was, even at this late period of his public ministry, is clear from this frank confession of surprise at their powers. They were contrasting the present with what had lately happened at the foot of the Mount of Transfiguration, where the disciples were utterly unable to heal the possessed boy. What a contrast do these true writers of the gospel story paint between themselves and their Master! They never seem to tire in their self-depreciatory descriptions. They describe with the same careful, truthful pen their slowness to understand what afterwards became so clear to them - their mutual jealousies, their covetous hopes of a brilliant future, their shrinking from pain and suffering, their utter failure when they try to imitate their Master; and now we find them marvelling at their own - to them - unexpected success in their imitation of him. <a href="/commentaries/luke/10-17.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>The οἱ (hoi) Article - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
