Luke 13:27-28

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 13:28

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out . No less than six times is this terrible formula, which expresses the intensest form of anguish, found in St. Matthew's Gospel. St. Luke only gives us the account of one occasion on which they were spoken. They indicate, as far as merely earthly words and symbols can, the utter misery of those unhappy ones who find... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 13:25-27

Luke 13:25-27. When once the master of the house is risen up Christ is the master of the house, that will take cognizance of the character and conduct of all that belong to it, or occasionally have a place in it.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 13:22-35

99. The first shall be last (Luke 13:22-35)As Jesus moved through the towns of the Jordan Valley, he stressed that people should believe in him without delay, because they would not have the opportunity to hear from him again. Many were concerned with theoretical questions about who would or would not be saved. Jesus explained that people individually should first be sure of their own salvation, because on the judgment day many who thought they were in God’s kingdom would find themselves left... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 13:27

27. But he shall say, &c.—(See on :-). No nearness of external communion with Christ will avail at the great day, in place of that holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. Observe the style which Christ intimates that He will then assume, that of absolute Disposer of men's eternal destinies, and contrast it with His "despised and rejected" condition at that time. read more
