John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:55

And when ye see the south wind blow ,.... From the hot countries of Egypt, Ethiopia, and Arabia, which lay south of Judea: ye say there will be heat ; or hot sultry weather, scorching heat, which such a wind brings with it: and it cometh to pass ; generally speaking, as is asserted. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:56

Ye hypocrites ,.... A word often used of the Scribes and Pharisees, and which suggests, that there were such in company, to whom Christ more especially directs his discourse; and this may be the rather thought, since much the like things are said by him to the Pharisees, with the Sadducees, in Matthew 16:1 and the same appellation is given them there, as here: ye can discern the face of the sky, and of the earth ; from the appearance of the sky, they could tell how it would be with the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:57

Yea, and why even of yourselves ,.... From their own observation, as in discerning the signs of the weather; in a rational way, by the light of reason, and according to the dictates of their own consciences; by what they themselves saw and heard; by the signs and wonders which were done, they might have concluded, that now was the time of the Messiah's coming; and that he was come, and that Jesus of Nazareth was he: this was as easy, by observation, to be discerned, as the face of the sky... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:58

When thou goest with thine adversary ,.... The creditor, as the Persic version, and who is the prosecutor, that has commenced a suit of law against another, in order to obtain his right: for Christ is here speaking of a bad man, that will not pay his just debts, so that his creditor is obliged to prosecute him, and have him to the magistrate ; ruler, or prince; the Nasi, or prince of the sanhedrim, who sat as judge there: as thou art in the way; going along with the creditor, or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:59

I tell thee ,.... The Syriac version before these words, prefixes an "Amen", or "verily", for the sake of the stronger affirmation, which seems to be taken from Matthew 5:26 thou shalt not depart thence ; get out of prison: till thou hast paid the very last mite : of the sum in debate, which was what the Jews call a "prutah", and that was the eighth part of an Italian farthing, and half a common farthing; See Gill on Mark 12:42 , with this agrees what Mainonides says F25 ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:49

I am come to send fire - See this subject largely explained on Matthew 10:34 ; (note), etc. From the connection in which these words stand, both in this place and in Matthew, it appears as if our Lord intended by the word fire, not only the consuming influence of the Roman sword, but also the influence of his own Spirit in the destruction of sin. In both these senses this fire was already kindled: as yet, however, it appeared but as a spark, but was soon to break out into an all-consuming... read more
