Luca 15:10

10 Così, vi dico, v’è allegrezza dinanzi agli angeli di Dio per un solo peccatore che si ravvede.

Luca 15:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 15:10

Likewise I say unto you
As before, in ( Luke 15:7 )

there is joy in the presence of the angels of God;
who are the friends and neighbours of Christ: (See Gill on Luke 15:6),

over one sinner that repenteth;
which they have knowledge of, either by immediate revelation from God, or by observation in the church where they attend: the reason of this joy is, because there is one rescued out of the hands of Satan and his angels, between whom and them, there is an implacable enmity; and because another subject is added to Christ's kingdom, and by which it is enlarged, the prosperity of which they greatly desire; and because another heir is born in that family, to which they belong, and they have another social worshipper with them: and this joy is said to be "in the presence of" them; and so may design the joy of others, as of Father, Son, and Spirit, which is in their sight and knowledge; and also the joy there is among themselves.

Luca 15:10 In-Context

8 Ovvero, qual è la donna che avendo dieci dramme, se ne perde una, non accenda un lume e non spazzi la casa e non cerchi con cura finché non l’abbia ritrovata?

9 E quando l’ha trovata, chiama assieme le amiche e le vicine, dicendo: Rallegratevi meco, perché ho ritrovato la dramma che avevo perduta.

10 Così, vi dico, v’è allegrezza dinanzi agli angeli di Dio per un solo peccatore che si ravvede.

11 Disse ancora: Un uomo avea due figliuoli;

12 e il più giovane di loro disse al padre: Padre, dammi la parte de’ beni che mi tocca. Ed egli spartì fra loro i beni.
