Luke Chapter 9 24 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
24. will save--"Is minded to save," bent on saving. The pith of this maxim depends--as often in such weighty sayings (for example, "Let the dead bury the dead,"
Mt 8:22)
--on the double sense attached to the word "life," a lower and a higher, the natural and the spiritual, temporal and eternal. An entire sacrifice of the lower, or a willingness to make it, is indispensable to the preservation of the higher life; and he who cannot bring himself to surrender the one for the sake of the other shall eventually lose both.
Luke Chapter 9 26 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
26. ashamed of me, and of my words--The sense of shame is one of the strongest in our nature, one of the social affections founded on our love of reputation, which causes instinctive aversion to what is fitted to lower it, and was given us as a preservative from all that is properly shameful. When one is, in this sense of it, lost to shame, he is nearly past hope
(Zec 3:5; Jer 6:15; 3:3).
But when Christ and "His words"--Christianity, especially in its more spiritual and uncompromising features--are unpopular, the same instinctive desire to stand well with others begets the temptation to be ashamed of Him, which only the 'expulsive power' of a higher affection can effectually counteract.
Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh, &c.--He will render to that man his own treatment; He will disown him before the most august of all assemblies, and put him to "shame and everlasting contempt"
(Da 12:2).
"Oh shame, to be put to shame before God, Christ, and angels!" [BENGEL].
Luke Chapter 9 27 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
27. not taste of death fill they see the kingdom of God--"see it come with power"
(Mr 9:1);
or see "the Son of man coming in His kingdom"
(Mt 16:28).
The reference, beyond doubt, is to the firm establishment and victorious progress, in the lifetime of some then present, of that new Kingdom of Christ, which was destined to work the greatest of all changes on this earth, and be the grand pledge of His final coming in glory.
Lu 9:1-6.
MISSION OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES.

Mt 10:1-15).
1. power and authority--He both qualified and authorized them.
