ルカによる福音書 2:47-48 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 2:41-52

The visit of Jesus to Jerusalem when a Boy. We now proceed to the solitary circumstance in the Child-life of Jesus which is given in the Gospels. He had been growing for twelve years in strength and in spirit, and the Lord loved him. The Child in Nazareth redeemed in God's eyes all the world. It was the one absorbing interest in the Divine outlook upon our race. And now he is taken by his pious parents to the Passover Feast in Jerusalem. It is his second visit to the temple; this time he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 2:48

Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. Mary's words have in them something of reproach. Joseph, it is noticeable, stands evidently apart; but the mother, strangely as it would seem at first, associates him in "thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing." Had she, then, forgotten the past? Who but Mary could have repeated this sacred memory of her mistake, and of the Boy's far-reaching answer? What forger could have imagined such a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 2:48

Why hast thou thus dealt with us? - Why hast thou given us all this trouble and anxiety, in going so far and returning with so much solicitude?Thy father - Joseph was not the “real” father of Jesus, but he was “legally” so; and as the secret of his birth was not commonly known, he was called his father. Mary, in accordance with that usage, also called him so.Sorrowing - Anxious, lest in the multitude he might not be found, or lest some accident might have happened to him. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 2:41-47

Luke 2:41-47. Now his parents went to Jerusalem at the passover As it was usual for those families to do that were remarkably religious, though only the adult males were, by the law, obliged to appear before the Lord on that occasion. And when he was twelve years old And so, according to the Jewish maxims, came under the yoke of the law; they went up to Jerusalem, &c. And thought it proper to take him with them, to celebrate that glorious deliverance which God had so many ages... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 2:48-50

Luke 2:48-50. And when they saw him they were amazed The clause, thus rendered, signifies, that Joseph and Mary were amazed when they saw him, but it may be translated, They who saw him were amazed, namely, not his parents only, or chiefly, but others. In this sense Dr. Campbell understands it, as suiting better the scope of the passage. “His parents,” says he, “may be said to have had reason of surprise, or even amazement, when they discovered that he was not in their company; but... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 2:41-52

13. Jesus twelve years old (Luke 2:41-52)Joseph and Mary, being sincere and faithful Jews, went to Jerusalem for the Passover each year. Jesus, who accompanied them on the occasion recorded here, was twelve years old at the time. At this age Jewish boys were being prepared for entrance into the adult affairs of the synagogue (Luke 2:41-42).In the Jewish form of instruction, teacher and student often took turns at asking and answering questions, many of which were concerned with details of the... read more

Son. Greek. teknon = child. See App-108 . Thy father. This was legally correct on the part of Mary. (See note on Luke 2:42 , above.) But not truly so; therefore the Lord's correction, "MY Father's business", Luke 2:49 . read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 2:48

And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.The word "Son" here is actually "Child" (Greek, English Revised Version (1885), margin), showing that Mary still regarded Jesus as a child, hence the reference to Joseph as "thy father," a reference never repeated again. This event took place at that age of Jesus when he was first fully conscious of just "who" he was. Had his mother, but... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 2:47-48

Luke 2:47-48. And all that heard him were astonished— The words rendered astonished in this verse, and amazed in the next, are much more forcible than our translation of them. They import, that they were in a transport of astonishment, and were struck with admiration. As our Lord himself has told us, that on this occasion he was employed in his Father's business, it is probable that in these his answers and objections, he modestlyinsinuated corrections of the errors wherewith the Jewish... read more
