Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 10:29

_ _ willing — “wishing,” to get himself out of the difficulty, by throwing on Jesus the definition of “neighbor,” which the Jews interpreted very narrowly and technically, as excluding Samaritans and Gentiles [Alford].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 10:25-37.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 10:29

To justify himself — That is, to show he had done this. Leviticus 18:5.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Luke 10:29

(9) But he, willing (k) to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

(9) The law defines our neighbour as anyone at all that we may help.

(k) That is, to vouch his righteousness, or show that he was just, that is, void of all faults: and (Jam. 5:1-20) uses the word of justification in this sense.
