This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 17:5. Εἰπον, said) Being moved with the sweetness of His words, Luk 17:4, they were wishing to have a more abundant enjoyment of the Divine benignity.-οἱ ἀπόστολοι, the apostles) who had in an especial degree need of great faith.-τῷ Κυρίῳ, the Lord) This appellation being put here implies, that this petition was a very solemn one.-πρόσθες, add) They hereby recognise the Divine power of Jesus. Jesus deals with their petition in Luk 17:6, and Luk 17:7-10.-πίστιν, faith) which surmounts stumbling-blocks, and freely forgives offences.
