Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 15:9

Luke 15:9. She calleth her friends, &c.— Her female friends, —τας φιλας . It might seem hardly worth while to ask the congratulation of her friends on so small an occasion as finding a drachma; (for that is the piece of coin here mentioned, in value not above nine-pence;) but it is represented as the tenth part of her little stock; and the impressible and social temper of the sex may perhaps be thought of, as adding some propriety to the representation. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 15:8-10

3. The parable of the lost coin 15:8-10Jesus’ repetition of the same point in another similar parable shows the importance of the lesson He wanted His hearers to learn.Again Jesus’ concern for women comes out in this illustration with which His female listeners could identify. The silver coins in view would have been Greek drachmas, the equivalent of Roman denarii, each worth about a day’s wage. They may have been part of the dowry or the savings that some Palestinian women wore around their... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 15:1-32

Parables of the Lost Sheep, of them Lost Coin, of the Prodigal Son1-7. Parable of the Lost Sheep. See on Matthew 18:12-13. The first of a series of three parables for the encouragement of penitents. It shows the love of our Saviour for the outcast, the despised, and the criminal classes generally. It rebukes the Pharisees, who professed to be shepherds, for their neglect of that part of the flock that most needed their help, and lastly it indicates that the Pharisees are in many respects worse... read more

The Approachableness of Christ Luke 15:1-2 This truth of the approachableness of Christ, the freeness with which He opened Himself to every needy and suffering soul, is not of subordinate importance, but of the very essence of His Gospel. It rests on the constitution of His Person. It is necessitated by the very fact of His being what He is, the man Christ Jesus, and by His having come to do what He declared to be the object of His mission. I. First of all, it rests upon the fact of His... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 15:1-32

Chapter 21LOST AND FOUND.IN this chapter we see how the waves of influence, moving outward from their Divine center, touch the outermost fringe of humanity, sending the pulsations of new excitements and new hopes through classes Religion and Society both had banned. "Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto Him, for to hear Him."It was evidently a movement widespread and deep. The hostility of Pharisees and scribes would naturally give to these outcasts a certain bias in His... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 15:1-32

SEEKING THE LOST SHEEP (vs.3-7) Though discipleship to Christ is a wonderful privilege, yet man would never choose a path of true discipleship if God did not seek him first. In this chapter we see that all the blessing for man originates in the heart of God, and therefore God's great joy predominates in the repentance and restoration of sinful people. In the person of Christ there is drawing power to bring tax gatherers and sinners to hear Him. The Pharisees and scribes resented this, and... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 15:1-32

PARABLES OF GRACE THE SELFISH GUEST (Luke 14:1-14 ) We pass over verses 1-6 which set forth the occasion for the first parable. The lesson from this first parable is, that if in natural things such selfishness was unbecoming, how much more on the spiritual plane? (Compare 1 Peter 5:5-6 ; Isaiah 57:15 .) THE GREAT SUPPER (Luke 14:15-24 ) This was spoken on the same occasion as the other and in response to the remark of Luke 14:15 . Christ had spoken of reward at “the resurrection of the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 15:1-32

The Prodigal Son Luke 15:0 The man was a man of substance. It may be a fortunate or an unfortunate circumstance, as events may prove. There is nothing wrong in being a substantial man in society; yet the very fact of a man having great riches may be one of the greatest calamities that ever occurred in his life. The younger son did not say, "Father, I am tired of a lazy life, and now I am determined to do something for my own bread. I have been turning over this great problem of life in my... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 15:8-10

Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. Here, if I do not err, is represented, under the similitude of a lost piece of money,... read more
