路加福音 3:22 CUVS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 3:21-22

Luke 3:21-22. When all the people were baptized If we reflect on the number of the people who followed John, and were baptized by him, and the regard they expressed for him before and after his death, and yet that no sect was produced in consequence of such belief and baptism, it will afford a very good argument in favour of the superior power, dignity, character, and office of Jesus. Jesus, praying, the heaven was opened It is observable, that the three voices from heaven (see Luke 9:29;... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 3:21-22

16. Baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:29-34)In due course John publicly introduced Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, for whom he had prepared the way. John’s introduction contained none of the popular Jewish ideas of a political or military leader who would bring in a golden age for Israel. Instead it suggested that the Messiah would die, like a lamb offered in sacrifice for the cleansing of sin (John 1:29-30). John then pointed out that he himself was not... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 3:22

Luke 3:22. Thou art my beloved Son;— See on Matthew 3:17. The epithet beloved given to the Son on this occasion, marks the greatness of the Father's affection for him, and distinguishes him from all others to whom the title of God's Son had been given. Accordingly we find our Lord alluding to it with peculiar pleasure, in his intercessory prayer, John 17:26. It was therefore the voice of God the Father which was heard at Christ's baptism; probably loud like thunder, as in the instance recorded... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 3:21-22

B. The baptism of Jesus 3:21-22 (cf. Matthew 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; John 1:29-34)Luke’s account of this significant event is shorter than the parallel passages. At His baptism, Jesus received the anointing of the Holy Spirit for His ministry. It was also the occasion for the Father to authenticate Jesus as His Son. Luke stressed these two features and did not describe Jesus’ actual baptism fully, though he recorded some information that the other evangelists omitted. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 3:22

This was a theophany, God appearing in corporeal form. The dove is a biblical symbol of peace (Genesis 8:8-12; cf. Genesis 1:2). Primarily it signified the coming of God’s peaceful Spirit to empower Jesus for His ministry (Isaiah 42:1; cf. Isaiah 64:1). Secondarily it represented the peace that Jesus would impart to those who believed on Him. [Note: See L. E. Keck, "The Spirit and the Dove," New Testament Studies 17 (1970-71):41-67.] Only Luke wrote that the Spirit came "in bodily form" thereby... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 3:1-38

John’s Ministry. Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus1-14.. Preliminary Ministry of the Baptist (Matthew 3:1; Mark 1:1). See on Mt.1. In the fifteenth year] If the years of Tiberius are reckoned from the death of Augustus, who died 14 a.d., the date is 28, 29 a.d. Most authorities, however, suppose that the years of Tiberius are here reckoned from 11 a.d., when he was made the colleague of Augustus in the empire, with equal authority over all the provinces and armies. This gives the date 25, 26 a.d.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 3:21-22

(21-22) Now when all the people were baptized.—See Notes on Matthew 3:13-17. St. Luke’s account is the shortest of the three first Gospels, but it adds here, as afterwards in his report of the Transfiguration, the fact that our Lord was “praying” at the time of the divine attestation to His Sonship. (See Introduction.) read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 3:22

(22) In a bodily shape.—The words are peculiar to St. Luke, and tend to confirm the traditional symbolism which finds in the dove the emblem of the Holy Spirit. They, at least, fall in naturally with this view; but the other construction, that the Holy Spirit descended, after the manner of a dove, first hovering and then resting, in a bodily form (undefined) of some sort, is, at least, not excluded. read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 3:1-38

Luke 3:2 Prophets have passed for something as well as priests in making God's will known; and Established Church priesthoods have not been generally on particularly good terms with prophets. The only occasion on which the two orders are said to have been in harmony was when the prophets prophesied lies, and the priests bore rule in their name. Froude. Luke 3:2 The young who are of healthy, lively blood and clean conscience have either emotion or imagination to fold them defensively from an... read more
