Lucas 9:55 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:55

But he turned and rebuked them
He turned himself about to them, and looking upon them with a stern countenance, sharply reproved them for their intemperate zeal, their passion of wrath, and anger, and desire of revenge:

and said, ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of;
or do not consider that this is not the true spirit of zeal, but of anger and revenge; and is not agreeable to the spirit of the meek and humble followers of Christ, or to the Spirit of God, and those gifts of his bestowed on them, nor to the spirit of the Gospel dispensation: so good men, for want of attention, may not know sometimes from what spirit they act; taking that for a good one, which is a very bad one; being covered with specious pretenses of love and zeal, and the examples of former saints; not observing the difference of persons; times, and things.

Lucas 9:55 In-Context

53 Mas no le recibieron, porque su rostro era como de alguien que iba a Jerusalén.

54 Y viendo esto sus discípulos Jacobo y Juan, dijeron: Señor, ¿quieres que mandemos que descienda fuego del cielo, y los consuma, como hizo Elías?

55 Entonces volviéndose él, los reprendió, diciendo: Vosotros no sabéis de qué espíritu sois;

56 porque el Hijo del hombre no ha venido para perder las almas de los hombres, sino para salvarlas. Y se fueron a otra aldea.

57 Y aconteció que yendo ellos, uno le dijo en el camino: Señor, te seguiré dondequiera que fueres.
