Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 13:2-3

Suppose ye ... - From this answer it would appear that they supposed that the fact that these men had been slain in this manner proved that they were very great sinners.I tell you, Nay - Jesus assured them that it was not right to draw such a conclusion respecting these men. The fact that men come to a sudden and violent death is not proof that they are especially wicked.Except ye repent - Except you forsake your sins and turn to God. Jesus took occasion, contrary to their expectation, to make... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 13:1-3

Luke 13:1-3. There were present at that season When Christ spake the foregoing words; some that told him of the Galileans The followers of Judas Gaulonites, whose story Josephus has given us at large, Antiq., Luke 18:1. It appears he was the head of a sect who asserted God to be their only sovereign, and were so utterly averse to a submission to the Roman power, that they accounted it unlawful to pay tribute unto Cesar, and would rather endure the greatest torments than give any man 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 13:2

And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered these things?Think ye ... ? Of course, this is exactly what they thought, having in themselves the ancient prejudices reaching as far back as Job, and which attributes every calamity upon men as the just punishment of their sins. Job's friends accused him of sin, their accusation being based on his sufferings; and likewise the citizens of Malta supposed Paul to have been... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 13:3

I tell you, Nay; but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish.The great truth uttered here, and repeated in the same words two verses later, was for the purpose of removing the false security of his hearers, both Galileans and dwellers in Jerusalem. Israel had rejected God's call to repentance as delivered, first by John the Baptist and again by Jesus Christ; and the impact of this verse is that God rejects the human device of supposing that some are righteous in a relative sense,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 13:2-3

Luke 13:2-3. Suppose ye that these Galileans, &c.— Our Lord's hearers had insinuated a very wrong notion of Providence; for which cause he not only condemned it in the question just now mentioned, but told them expressly, that these Galileans were not to be reckoned greater sinners than others, because they had fallen by so severe a calamity; and exhorted them, instead of forming harsh judgments of others fromsuch examples of sufferings, to improve them as incitements to themselves to... read more
