John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 7:17

And this rumour of him ,.... Or the report of this surprising miracle in raising a dead man to life, that was carrying to his grave, went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the region round about ; not only Judea, and the several cities, towns, and villages in it, but all the country round about it, especially Galilee. The Persic version reads, "all countries which are round about Jordan"; see Matthew 3:5 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 7:18

And the disciples of John showed him of all these things. The miracles that were wrought by Christ; particularly the healing of the centurion's servant, and the raising from the dead the widow of Naim's son, and what fame and reputation Christ got every where by his doctrine, and mighty works. John was now in prison, when these his disciples came and related these things to him; see Matthew 11:2 and they spoke of them, not as commending Christ for them; but as envying, grieving, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 7:19

And John calling unto him two of his disciples ,.... Which were a sufficient number to be sent on an errand, to ask a question, and report the answer, or bear witness to any fact they should see, or hear done. Sent them unto Jesus, saying, art thou he that should come, or look we for another? not that he doubted that Jesus was the Messiah; nor was it for his own satisfaction so much that he sent these disciples of his with this question, but for theirs; and to remove all doubt and... read more

Nain - A small city of Galilee, in the tribe of Issachar. According to Eusebius, it was two miles from Mount Tabor, southward; and near to Endor. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:12

Carried out - The Jews always buried their dead without the city, except those of the family of David. No burying places should be tolerated within cities or towns; much less in or about churches and chapels. This custom is excessively injurious to the inhabitants; and especially to those who frequent public worship in such chapels and churches. God, decency, and health forbid this shocking abomination. On the impropriety of burying in towns, churches, and chapels, take the following... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:16

God hath visited his people - Several MSS. and versions add, εις αγαθον , for good. Sometimes God visited his people in the way of judgment, to consume them in their transgressions; but it was now plain that he had visited them in the most tender compassion and mercy. This seems to have been added by some ancient copyist, by way of explanation. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:18

The disciples of John showed him, etc. - It is very likely that John's disciples attended the ministry of our Lord at particular times; and this, we may suppose, was a common case among the disciples of different Jewish teachers. Though bigotry existed in its most formidable shape between the Jews and Samaritans, yet we do not find that it had any place between Jews and Jews, though they were of different sects, and attached to different teachers. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:19

Art thou he that should come? - That is, to save. Art thou the promised Messiah? See on Matthew 11:3 ; (note). Some have thought that this character of our Lord, ὁ ερχομενος , he who cometh, refers to the prophecy of Jacob, Genesis 49:10 , where he is called שילה Shiloh , which Grotius and others derive from שלה shalach , he sent: hence, as the time of the fulfillment of the prophecy drew nigh, he was termed, He who cometh, i.e. he who is just now ready to make his... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:11

Verse 11 Luke 7:11.And it happened, that he went into a city. In all the miracles of Christ, we must attend to the rule which Matthew lays down. We ought to know, therefore, that this young man, whom Christ raised from the dead, is an emblem of the spiritual life which he restores to us. The name of the city contributes to the certainty of the history. The same purpose is served by what Luke says, that a great multitude from every direction followed him: for Christ had many attendants along... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:12

Verse 12 12.The only son of his mother. The reason which induced Christ to restore the young man to life was, that he saw the widow bereft of her only son, and had compassion on her: for he did not withhold his favor till some one requested it, as he did on other occasions; but anticipated the prayers of all, and restored the son to his mother, by whom nothing of this sort was expected. We have here a striking emblem of his freely bestowed compassion in raising us from death to life. By... read more
