路加福音 11:8 RCUVTS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 11:5-8

Luke 11:5-8. And he said, &c. “Having, by a short form, taught his disciples that they were not in prayer to use a multiplicity of words, with vain repetitions; he proceeded to caution them, on the other hand, against coldness, indifference, and slackness in their supplications. The evil of this, and the necessity of asking affectionately, with importunity and perseverance, he taught them by a parable; in which he showed them, that importunity, that is, earnestness and frequency in... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 11:5-13

44. Prayers of request (Matthew 7:7-12; Luke 11:5-13)Jesus gave two illustrations to show his followers that they can put their requests to God confidently. Even a tired and uncooperative neighbour can be persuaded by a person’s persistence into giving him what he needs. How much more will God, who is a loving Father, supply all the needs of his children (Luke 11:5-10). Christians do not have to beg from a God who is unwilling to give. They go to God as children go to their father, confident... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 11:8

8. importunity—The word is a strong one—"shamelessness"; persisting in the face of all that seemed reasonable, and refusing to take a denial. as many, &c.—His reluctance once overcome, all the claims of friendship and necessity are felt to the full. The sense is obvious: If the churlish and self-indulgent—deaf both to friendship and necessity—can after a positive refusal, be won over, by sheer persistency, to do all that is needed, how much more may the same determined perseverance in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 11:1-13

3. The relation of disciples to God the Father 11:1-13Jesus continued to point out the disciple’s proper relationships. Having explained their relation to their neighbors (Luke 10:25-37) and to Himself (Luke 10:38-42), He now instructed them on their relation to their heavenly Father. This pericope, as the former one, clarifies the meaning of the first commandment (Luke 10:27).This whole section consists of teaching on prayer. Luke presented prayer as a major subject in which Jesus instructed... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 11:5-8

The parable of the persistent friend 11:5-8Having helped his disciples pray, Jesus now gave them incentive to pray. He contrasted the character of God and the character of the reluctant neighbor in His story (cf. Luke 11:13; Luke 18:1-8). This parable contains a very helpful and encouraging revelation of God’s character (cf. Luke 10:22). Understanding the character of God removes many of the problems we have with prayer. [Note: See C. Samuel Storms, Reaching God’s Ear, for a fuller development... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 11:7-8

This unfriendly behavior of this "friend" is understandable since in the typical one-room Palestinian home the whole family, and even often the household animals, all slept near each other. In the parable the sleeping neighbor’s desire to avoid shame in the eyes of the knocking host, and probably in the eyes of all his neighbors once his inhospitable behavior became known, led him to get up and give his neighbor bread. The Greek word anaideia means shameless, or avoidance of shame, not... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-54

The Lord’s Prayer. The Sign of Jonah1-4. The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-15). See on Mt. If the Lord’s Prayer was given only once, St. Luke is probably right as to the occasion. His version, however (as in the case of the Beatitudes), is manifestly inferior to St. Matthew’s. Of the seven petitions he omits two—the third (’Thy will be done,’ etc.), and the seventh (’but deliver us from the evil one’: see the RV). In place of Mt’s beautiful opening, ’Our Father in the heavens,’ he has simply,... read more
