Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 7:13

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.Weep not ... It was not possible, at the moment, for this bereaved widow to respond to such a command; but the Lord never gave a command without supplying the power to obey it. This is still an imperative, with qualification, to Christians of all ages: "Sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope" (1 Thessalonians 4:13). Someone has remarked that Jesus broke up every funeral he ever attended! read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 7:13-15

Luke 7:13-15. When the Lord saw her, &c.— Jesus, whose tenderness made him susceptible of the strongest impressions from occurrences of this kind, knowing that the mother's affection was bitter, and the occasion of it real, was greatly moved at the sorrowful scene. Nor was his sympathy vain: he resolved to turn their mourning into joy, by raising the young man from the dead. The opportunity was peculiarly proper, as the multitude of the people attending the corpse entirely prevented all... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 7:11-17

2. The raising of a widow’s Song of Solomon 7:11-17This miracle lifted the popular appreciation of Jesus’ authority to new heights. Luke also continued to stress Jesus’ compassion for people, in this case a widow whose son had died, by including this incident in his Gospel. The importance of faith in Jesus is not strong in this pericope. However the motif of the joy that Jesus brings recurs. The incident also sets the stage for Jesus’ interview by John the Baptist’s disciples that follows (Luke... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 7:13

This is Luke’s first narrative use of the term "the Lord" for Jesus (cf. Luke 7:19; Luke 10:1; Luke 10:39; Luke 10:41; Luke 11:39; Luke 12:42; Luke 13:15; Luke 17:5-6; Luke 18:6; Luke 19:8; Luke 22:61; Luke 24:3; Luke 24:34). It anticipates the title the early Christians gave Him (e.g., Acts 2:36), and in this story it anticipates the remarkable demonstration of His sovereignty that followed.Luke noted Jesus’ compassion for the woman, one of his characteristic emphases. The Lord’s words... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 7:13

(13) And when the Lord saw her.—The words are noticeable as being one of the comparatively few instances in which the term “the Lord” is used absolutely instead of Jesus. As far as it goes it confirms the view suggested in the previous Note, that the narrative came from those who had a profound reverence for the Master they had followed, and at a time when they had learnt thus to speak of Him. (Comp. the language of Mary Magdalene in John 20:2; John 20:13.) It may be noted further that this use... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 7:1-50

Three Estimates of One Character Luke 7:4 ; Luke 7:6 ; Luke 7:9 I. In the first place, we have the estimate formed of this man by his neighbours, 'Saying that he was worthy'. Now in regard to this testimonial, two or three remarks may be made. (1) For one thing, it must, I think, he conceded that these elders had enjoyed the best opportunities for forming a judgment regarding him. He lived in the midst of them. (2) But these elders had another advantage in coming to a knowledge of this... read more
