L.M. Grant

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:1-47

AUTHORITY:FROM HEAVEN OR OF MEN? (vs.1-8) The chief priests and scribes used every means they could to discredit the Lord Jesus among the people. While He was teaching and preaching in the temple, they planned a determined attack to challenge His right to do as He did. What authority did He have for teaching a preaching in the temple, and who gave Him this authority? Their thoughts were earthbound, for they thought of no authority but that of man, and this was the very snare that trapped... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 20:1-47

LAST TEACHING IN JERUSALEM The facts of this lesson are: (1) the challenge of the chief priests and scribes as to the authority of Jesus which, as we saw in Matthew 21:0 , was equivalent to their formal rejection of Him who had just entered their city as the Messiah in fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecy; (2) the parable of the vineyard which, as we saw in the same place, was equivalent to His formal rejection of the nation; (3) the questionings of the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 20:1-47

Jesus Taunted Luke 20:0 "And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel " not an exceptional work, but on a particular and memorable day. This was the circle within which Jesus Christ moved namely, he taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel. A familiar word to us is the word "gospel," but not a familiar word in the four evangelists. Does Mark ever use it? Does John ever use it? Is it ever used in the Gospel... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 20:27-40

Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:27-38

27-38 It is common for those who design to undermine any truth of God, to load it with difficulties. But we wrong ourselves, and wrong the truth of Christ, when we form our notions of the world of spirits by this world of sense. There are more worlds than one; a present visible world, and a future unseen world; and let every one compare this world and that world, and give the preference in his thoughts and cares to that which deserves them. Believers shall obtain the resurrection from the dead,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 20:1-99

Luke 20 YET IN THE precincts of the temple the Lord taught daily during this last week of His life, so it is not surprising that He came into conflict with them. The whole of this chapter is occupied with details of the conflict. The chief priest and scribes began the conflict, and at the end they were left silenced and unmasked. They started by challenging His authority. They were the people in authority there, and to them He was but an upstart “Prophet” from Nazareth. Their question assumed... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 20:27-40

the God of the Living Luke 20:27-40 Here our Lord answers the materialism of His time. He speaks with the note of absolute certainty concerning the unseen, Hebrews 11:27 . Its inhabitants do not die or marry, nor are they subject to the conditions of our earthly life. These are the children of the resurrection. What an inspiring title! May it be applied to us as in Colossians 3:1-4 ? Too many are “the sons of this age,” Luke 20:34 , r.v., margin! They adopt this transient earth as their... read more
