路加福音 16:22-24 CUNPSS

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 16:22

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 16:23

And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments ; more accurately, in Hades (the unseen world of the dead) he lift up his eyes. The idea of suffering does not lie in these first words, but in the participle "being in torments," which immediately follows. It is noticeable that, in this Divine picture of unhappy life in the other world there is no coarse, vulgar word-painting such as we meet with so often in mediaeval human works. The very fact of the man's being unhappy is gently... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 16:24

And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame . His intense longing seems to be for companionship. "Oh for a friend," he seems to say, "who could speak to me, comfort me, give me the smallest alleviation of the pain I suffer!" What picture of a hell was ever painted by man comparable to this vision of eternal solitude, peopled alone by remorseful memories,... 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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 16:23

In hell - The word here translated hell (“Hades”) means literally a dark, obscure place; the place where departed spirits go, but especially the place where “wicked” spirits go. See the Job 10:21-22 notes; Isaiah 14:9 note. The following circumstances are related of it in this parable:It is “far off” from the abodes of the righteous. Lazarus was seen “afar off.” It is a place of torment. There is a great gulf fixed between that and heaven, Luke 16:26. The suffering is great. It is represented... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 16:24

Father Abraham - The Jews considered it a signal honor that Abraham was their “father” - that is, that they were “descendants” from him. Though this man was now in misery, yet he seems not to have abandoned the idea of his relation to the father of the faithful. The Jews supposed that departed spirits might know and converse with each other. See Lightfoot on this place. Our Saviour speaks in conformity with that prevailing opinion; and as it was not easy to convey ideas about the spiritual... 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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 16:23

Luke 16:23. And in hell Εν τω αδη , in hades; that is, in the unseen, or invisible world. It must be observed, that both the rich man and Lazarus were in hades, though in different regions of it: he lifted up his eyes, being in torments Our Saviour adapts this circumstance of the parable, says Lightfoot, to the popular opinion of the Jews. The rabbins say, that the place of torment and paradise are so situated, that what is done in the one may be seen from the other. “Because the... read more
