ルカの福音書 13:6-8 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 13:1-21

The grace and progress of God's kingdom. We saw at the close of last chapter how urgent a matter it is to get reconciled to God. Luke, in constructing his Gospel, introduces us next to a cognate thought—the necessity of repentance if judgment is to be escaped. Let us take up the orderly thoughts as they are laid before us in this passage. I. JUDGMENT EXECUTED UPON OTHERS IS A CALL TO REPENTANCE ADDRESSED TO US . (Verses 1-5.) There was a disposition then, as there... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 13:6

He spake also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard . And then, without any further prelude, Jesus spoke this parable of the barren fig tree, which contained, in language scarcely veiled at all, warnings to Israel as a nation—the most sombre and threatening he had yet given utterance to. "Hear, O people," said the Master. "In the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is a fig tree, long planted there, but utterly unfruitful. It is now on its last trial; indeed, were it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 13:6-9

Fatal fruitlessness. We have to consider— I. THE PRIMARY SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PARABLE . What did the great Teacher intend his hearers to understand by his words? It was this (as I read it): 1 . The vineyard is the kingdom of God—that realm of truth and righteousness which he has been, from the beginning, establishing on the earth. 2 . Israel is the fig tree which God planted in his vineyard—a fig tree in a vineyard; there not by any natural right, but at the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 13:7

Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none . Some expositors see in this period of three years an allusion to the storied past of Hebrew life, and in the number 3 discern the three marked epochs, each lasting several centuries, of the high priests, judges, and kings. This, however, is a very doubtful reference, owing to the impossibility of separating the first two periods of the rule of high priests and judges, as these interchange and overlap each other.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 13:8

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it . The last year—the year of grace they who listened to him then were living in. It was the last summons to repentance, the final reminder to the old covenant people that to their high privileges as the chosen race there were duties attached. They prided themselves on the privileges, they utterly forgot the duties. The period represented by this last year included the preaching of John... read more

This parable - See the notes at Matthew 13:3.Vineyard - A place where vines were planted. It was not common to plant fig-trees in them, but our Lord represents it as having been sometimes done. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 13:7

The dresser of his vineyard - The man whose duty it was to trim the vines and take care of his vineyard.These three years - These words are not to be referred to the time which Christ had been preaching the gospel, as if he meant to specify the exact period. They mean, as applicable to the vineyard, that the owner had been “a long time” expecting fruit on the tree. For three successive years he had been disappointed. In his view it was long enough to show that the tree was barren and would... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 13:6-7

Luke 13:6-7. And he spake also this parable With a view to awaken them more effectually to a deep and serious repentance: A certain man had a fig-tree in his vineyard And because it was planted in good soil, he came and sought fruit thereon Having good reason to expect it. Observe, he did not send, but came himself, which manifested his great desire to find fruit. Thus God came in the person of his Son, to his vineyard, the Jewish Church, Isaiah 5:1-7, seeking the fruits of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 13:8-9

Luke 13:8-9. And he said, Let it alone this year also Here we have the vine-dresser’s intercession for the barren fig-tree. Thus Christ the great Intercessor interceded for the Jewish Church and people, and thus, as he ever liveth, he continues to intercede for all unfruitful professors, and other sinners. And all faithful ministers of the gospel are intercessors for their flocks. They that dress the vineyard intercede for it, and pray for those to whom they preach. Observe, reader, the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 13:1-9

97. Warning to the Jewish nation (Luke 13:1-9)Two recent tragedies were fresh in the minds of the Jewish people. One was caused by Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, when he killed a number of Galilean Jews while they were offering sacrifices at the temple in Jerusalem. The other was caused by the collapse of a tower that killed a number of Jerusalem citizens. Some Jews thought that because the victims of these tragedies met such terrible deaths, they must have been worse sinners than others.... read more
