ルカによる福音書 12:58 JC

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 12:57-59

40. Legal obedience is not enough (Matthew 5:21-48; Luke 6:27-36; Luke 12:57-59)After his explanation concerning right and wrong attitudes to the law, Jesus gives a number of examples. He introduces these examples with statements such as ‘You have heard that it was said in the past’. This is not the same as ‘It is written’. Jesus is not quoting from the Old Testament but from the teachings of the scribes and Pharisees. He is not contradicting the law but the interpretations of the law that the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 12:58

Luke 12:58. When thou goest, &c.— As you are going with your adversary to the governor, endeavour to satisfy him, and get your discharge while you are in the way; lest he carry you by force before the judge, &c. We are all on our way to judgment; we might therefore see the necessity of being reconciled to our adversary, even the great God; through the Blood of the covenant. For he must be our adversary, aslongaswecontinueinwilful disobedience. His justice has claims, which nothing... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 12:49-59

5. The coming distress 12:49-59Jesus’ teaching on the same occasion continued. He clarified next that His disciples could anticipate a period of intense persecution. This is the reason He charged them to be faithful (Luke 12:41-48)."In Luke 12:49 to Luke 14:24, Jesus is calling on his audience to note the nature of the time-a time when God is making divisions among people, a time when people should be able to see what God is doing through Jesus, and a time when Israel had better respond before... read more

Decision for Jesus 12:54-59Jesus again focused His teaching on the multitudes (cf. Luke 12:13). He urged the people to discern the significance of the present times. This was important in view of the coming judgment and the present division of opinion concerning Himself. Luke did not indicate a chronological connection between this section and the preceding one, though there may have been one. He may have inserted this teaching here because of its logical connection with what precedes. In... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 12:57-59

Jesus urged His hearers to come to a decision before it was too late (cf. Matthew 5:25-26). They needed to judge what was right and to believe on Jesus before God judged them and condemned them for their unbelief. Jesus reminded them of the wisdom of settling their disputes with one another before they went to court and a judge made the decision for them (cf. 1 Corinthians 6:1-11). The result of not settling out of court might be condemnation and confinement in a Roman debtors prison from which... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:1-59

The Leaven of the Pharisees. The Rich Fool1-12. Jesus warns His followers against Pharisaic hypocrisy, and exhorts them to be courageous in face of opposition. This speech is not unsuitable to the context in St. Luke, but the whole of the sayings are found also in St. Matthew’s Gospel, generally in a more natural connexion (mostly in the charge to the Twelve, Luke 10:5-42). Perhaps St. Luke here groups together savings spoken at different times.1. When there were] RV ’when the many thousands of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 12:58

(58) When thou goest with thine adversary. . . .—Better, with all the MSS., For as thou goest. . . . The conjunction would seem to have been omitted by the translators because they did not see the sequence of thought implied in it. There is, indeed, something at first strangely abrupt in this reproduction of what had appeared in the Sermon on the Mount as part of our Lord’s teaching as to the true meaning of the command “Thou shalt not kill.” (See Note on Matthew 5:25.) There the words are... read more
