ルカの福音書 16:21-22 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 16:19-26

The sin and doom of selfish worldliness. This parable, taken (as I think it should be), not in connection with the immediately preceding verses (16-18), but with those that come before these (with Luke 16:1-15 ), is a very striking confirmation of the doctrine delivered by Christ concerning selfishness and worldliness. He brings its sinfulness and its doom into bold relief. I. WHERE THE RICH MAN WAS WRONG . 1 . Not in being rich. He is not brought forward as the type... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 16:19-31

The rich man and Lazarus. A parable so striking and solemn that, as has been said, "they must be fast asleep who are not startled by it." It is in several respects unique. Figure is so blended with reality, so rapidly passes into reality, that we are doubtful where and how far to separate between the form of truth and the truth itself. Indeed, it has been questioned whether the discourse is to be regarded as a parable at all; whether it is not to be regarded as the record of facts and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 16:20-21

And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table . In striking contrast to the life of the rich man, the Master, with a few touches, paints the life of the beggar Lazarus. This giving a name to a personage in the parable occurs nowhere else in the evangelists' reports of our Lord's parabolic teaching. It probably was done in this case just to give us a hint, for it is nothing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 16:22

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom . At last kind death came, and relieved Lazarus of his sufferings. His dismissal, as might have been expected, preceded that of the rich man; for he was enfeebled by a deadly disease. We must not, of course, press too much the details we find in parables; still, from our Lord's way of speaking of the great change in the cases of both Lazarus and Dives, it would seem as though there was absolutely... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 16:20-21

Beggar - Poor man. The original word does not mean “beggar,” but simply that he was “poor.” It should have been so translated to keep up the contrast with the “rich man.”Named Lazarus - The word Lazarus is Hebrew, and means a man destitute of help, a needy, poor man. It is a name given, therefore, to denote his needy condition.Laid at his gate - At the door of the rich man, in order that he might obtain aid.Full of sores - Covered with ulcers; afflicted not only with poverty, but with loathsome... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 16:22

Was carried by the angels - The Jews held the opinion that the spirits of the righteous were conveyed by angels to heaven at their death. Our Saviour speaks in accordance with this opinion; and as he expressly affirms the fact, it seems as proper that it should be taken literally, as when it is said the rich man died and was buried. Angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who are heirs of salvation Hebrews 1:14, and there is no more improbability in the supposition that... read more

Luke 16:20-21. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus According to the Greek pronunciation; or Eliazar, according to the Hebrew; a name very proper for a person in such a condition, signifying, the help of God; or if, as some think, the word be derived from לא עזר , lo azer, a helpless person. Which was laid at his gate full of sores He was so diseased and decrepit that he could not go himself to the rich man’s gate, but he was carried by some compassionate hand or other, and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 16:22

Luke 16:22. And it came to pass In a little time; that the beggar died Worn out with hunger, and pain, and want of all things; and was carried by angels (amazing change of the scene!) into Abraham’s bosom So the Jews styled paradise; the place or state where the souls of good men remain from death to the resurrection. The expression alludes to the way of representing the felicities of heaven, by sharing a magnificent banquet with Abraham and the other patriarchs; (see Matthew 8:11;... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 16:19-31

104. The rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31)To illustrate the truth he had just been teaching, Jesus told the story of an unnamed rich man and a beggar named Lazarus. The rich man pictured those who lived to please themselves and felt no need of God; the beggar pictured those who were helpless and depended entirely upon God’s mercy. In their existence after death, the beggar sat beside Abraham in the heavenly feast, resting his body, as it were, against Abraham, but the rich man was in great... read more
