ルカの福音書 12:21 JCB

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 12:21

So is he - This is the portion or the doom.Layeth up treasure for himself - Acquires riches for his own use - for “himself.” This is the characteristic of the covetous man. It is all for “himself.” His plans terminate there. He lives only for himself, and acts only with regard to his own interest.Rich toward God - Has no inheritance in the kingdom of God - no riches laid up in heaven. His affections are all fixed on this world, and he has none for God.From this instructive parable we learn:1.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 12:21

Luke 12:21. So Such a fool, is he, in the divine account; that layeth up treasure for himself Here on earth: and is not rich toward God In acts of piety and charity, which would secure a fund of celestial treasures, lodged in his almighty hand, and therefore inviolably safe from such calamitous accidents as these. In other words, the covetous sensualist, who, in pursuing riches, has nothing but the gratification of his senses and appetites in view, no regard to the glory of God, who... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 12:4-21

63. Concern about safety and security (Luke 12:4-21)Some teaching that Jesus gave to the twelve apostles is repeated in other parts of the Gospels. This may have been given to the followers of Jesus in general, particularly those instructions and warnings that concerned putting loyalty to Jesus before the desire for personal safety (Luke 12:4-12; see notes on Matthew 10:28-33 above).On one occasion when a crowd was listening to such teaching from Jesus, there was one person who showed no... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 12:21

Luke 12:21. And is not rich towards God.— There is a force and propriety in the phrase εις θεον, here rendered towards God, which our language will not exactly express; it represents God as a depositary, in whose hands the good man has lodged his treasure, and who has as it were made himself accountable for it in another and better world. See Proverbs 19:17. read more

21. So is he, c.—Such is a picture of his folly here, and of its awful issue. and is not rich toward God—lives to amass and enjoy riches which terminate on self, but as to the riches of God's favor, which is life ( :-), of "precious" faith (2 Peter 1:1 James 2:5), of good works (James 2:5- :), of wisdom which is better than rubies (James 2:5- :) —lives and dies a beggar! read more

2. The importance of the eternal perspective 12:13-21Jesus continued to teach His disciples the importance of following Him faithfully. Responding to a request from someone in the crowd, presumably not a disciple, Jesus warned against greed. Greed is one of the greatest temptations that disciples as well as other people face. It has lured many disciples from the path of faithfulness."If in the earlier section the hypocrisy of the Pharisees introduced teaching for the disciples on avoiding... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 12:21

Jesus drew the application. A person who only enriches himself and does not lay up treasure in heaven is a fool (cf. Matthew 6:19; 1 Timothy 6:6-10; James 1:10). "For himself" contrasts with "toward God." This translation preserves the form of the contrast in the Greek text. The point of the contrast is the difference between riches on earth and riches in heaven (cf. Matthew 6:19-21)."The man in the story was called a fool for confusing time with eternity, his body for his soul, and what was... 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
