John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 11:32

The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it ,.... Luke changes the order of these instances; Matthew mentions this before the instance of the queen of Sheba; but Luke puts it last: this circumstance is not material, and the design of it is the same with the former: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas, and behold a greater than Jonas is here : what in this case will aggravate the condemnation of the Jews in the day of judgment is,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 11:33

No man when he hath lighted a candle ,.... These words are often repeated by Christ on different occasions; see Gill on Matthew 5:15 and See Gill on Luke 8:16 and here seem to design the free, open, and clear ministry of Christ, who excelled Solomon in wisdom, and Jonas in powerful preaching. It being as a candle, which, when lighted, no man putteth in a secret place ; as under a bed, Mark 4:21 where it cannot be seen, and its light be of any use: neither under a bushel, but on... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 11:34

The light of the body is the eye ,.... The Vulgate Latin and all the eastern versions read "the light of thy body is thine eye". The sense is, that as the eye gives light, to the body, and the several members of it, by which they are guided and directed; so the understanding is the light of the soul, and the guide to all the powers and faculties of it; therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light : as when the eye is free from vicious humours, and its sight is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 11:35

Take heed therefore ,.... By attending to the light of the Gospel, shining in the ministration of it, and do not neglect and despise it: that the light which is in thee be not darkness ; lest being given up to a judicial blindness and hardness of heart, not only the light of nature, which the Jews had in common with the Gentiles, but even that notional light and knowledge of divine things, which they had by being favoured with an external revelation, the writings of the Old Testament,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 11:36

If thy whole body therefore be full of light ,.... That is, if the whole soul, as the Ethiopic version reads, be full of Gospel light, through the illuminating influences of the blessed Spirit accompanying the word: having no part dark ; every power and faculty of the soul being affected with it, and influenced by it, though, as yet, the light and knowledge of evangelical things is not perfect in any: the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:27

A certain woman - lifted up her voice, and said - It was very natural for a woman, who was probably a mother, to exclaim thus. She thought that the happiness of the woman who was mother to such a son was great indeed; but our blessed Lord shows her that even the holy virgin could not be benefited by her merely being the mother of his human nature, and that they only were happy who carried Christ in their hearts. True happiness is found in hearing the glad tidings of salvation by Christ... read more

The queen of the south, etc. - Perhaps it would be better to translate, A queen of the south, and the men of this race, shall rise up in judgment, etc. See the note on Luke 11:7 . The 32d verse may be read in the same way. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:33

No man, when he hath lighted, etc. - See on Matthew 5:15 ; (note). Our Lord intimates, that if he worked a miracle among such an obstinate people, who were determined to disbelieve every evidence of his Messiahship, he should act as a man who lighted a candle and then covered it with a bushel, which must prevent the accomplishment of the end for which it was lighted. See also on Mark 4:21 ; (note), etc. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:34

The light of the body is the eye - Or, the eye is the lamp of the body. See on Matthew 6:22 ; (note), etc. The 35th and 36th verses are wanting in some MSS., and are variously read in others. read more
