Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 20:20-26

Luke 20:20-26 . And they watched him For an elucidation of this paragraph, see on Matthew 22:16-22, and Mark 12:13-17; and sent spies, which should feign themselves just men Men scrupulously conscientious in every point: that they might take hold of his words If he answered as they hoped he would. Master, we know then sayest, &c. Speakest in private, and teachest in public; the way of God truly The true path of duty. They could not take hold of his words before the people As... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 20:19-26

125. A question about paying taxes (Matthew 22:15-22; Mark 12:13-17; Luke 20:19-26)The Herodians were a group of Jews who, unlike most Jews, were favourable to the rule of the Herods and therefore (indirectly) to the rule of Rome. Normally, they had little in common with the Pharisees, but the two groups were willing to cooperate in an attempt to trap Jesus. They asked him was it lawful for Jews to pay taxes to Rome (Matthew 22:15-17; Luke 20:19-22).If Jesus replied ‘Yes’, the Pharisees would... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 20:20-26

3. The question of tribute to Caesar 20:20-26 (cf. 22:15-22; Mark 12:13-17)Luke showed how the religious leaders’ antagonism was intensifying against Jesus. This was another attempt to discredit Him (cf. Luke 20:1-8). Luke may have included it also because it shows that Jesus did not teach hostility toward the state. The early Christians likewise suffered because of false accusations that they opposed their government, but this was generally untrue. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 20:21-22

The spies’ preamble was both flattering and devious (cf. Acts 24:2-3). They claimed to accept Jesus’ teaching and to desire a clarification of a point of law. Probably they hoped that their preamble would give Jesus a feeling of self-confidence that would lead to a foolish answer. They wanted to know if Jesus believed that the Mosaic Law required the Jews to pay taxes (Gr. phoros, a general word for tribute) to the occupying Romans. They thought that if Jesus said yes He would alienate the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:1-47

Various Incidents of the Last Week1-8. The authority of Jesus challenged (Matthew 21:23; Mark 11:27). See on Mt.9-18. The wicked husbandmen (Matthew 21:33; Mark 12:1). See on Mt.19-26. The tribute money (Matthew 22:15; Mark 12:13). See on Mt.27-40. The Sadducees and the Resurrection (Matthew 22, 23; Mark 12:18). See on Mt.36. Neither can they die] This is perhaps given as a reason why after the Resurrection there is no more marriage.37. At the bush] RV ’in the place concerning the Bush’: cp.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 20:20-26

(20-26) And they watched him.—See Notes on Matthew 22:15-22 and Mark 12:13-17.And sent forth spies.—The noun is, again, one of St. Luke’s characteristic words not used by any other New Testament writer. It expresses rather the act of those who lie in ambush, than that of “spies” in the strict sense of the words. St. Luke is, on the one hand, less definite as to the parties to the conspiracy than the other Gospels, and on the other hand more explicit as to its aim. They wanted materials for an... read more
