Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 5:17-26
2. Jesus’ authority to forgive sins 5:17-26 (cf. Matthew 9:1-8; Mark 2:1-12)Luke documented Jesus’ authority in yet another area of life by showing His power to forgive sins. In this incident the miracle is secondary and the issue of Jesus’ authority is primary. Jesus claimed to be God by forgiving the man’s sins. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 5:22-23
As a prophet, Jesus may have had special insight into what His critics were thinking (cf. Matthew 9:3; Mark 2:6). It was easier to say, "Your sins have been forgiven you," because no one could disprove that claim. In another sense, of course, both claims were equally difficult because healing and forgiving required supernatural power. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 5:24
Jesus did the apparently more difficult thing to prove that He could also do the apparently easier thing. This is the first time Luke recorded Jesus calling Himself the "Son of Man." Luke used this title 26 times, and in every case Jesus used it to describe Himself (except in Acts 7:56 where Stephen used it of Him). This was a messianic title with clear implications of deity (Daniel 7:13-14). Since the Son of Man is the divine judge and ruler, it is only natural that He would have the power to... read more

Miraculous Draught of Fishes. The Palsied Man1-11. First miraculous draught of fishes (peculiar to Lk). Many critics identify this incident with that recorded in Matthew 4:18 and Mark 1:16. But there are important considerations on the other side: (1) the persons are different (there four disciples, here Peter is addressed); (2) the words used, though similar in sense, are very different in form; (3) the disciples are not said to have ’left all’ in Mt, but only to have left their father in the... read more

(17-26) It came to pass . . .—See Notes on Matthew 9:1-8.Pharisees and doctors of the law.—The description of the crowd of listeners is peculiar to St. Luke.

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 5:1-39
Hearing the Word Luke 5:1 There was a period in our Saviour's Galilean ministry when He was the object of popular interest and enthusiasm. It cannot be said that He enjoyed popularity, for He was persecuted by popularity. This eagerness of the people to hear Christ, the Great Teacher, is full of instruction, and both of encouragement and caution to all in every age who preach and who hear the Word of Grace. I. Motives which Induced Men to Hear the Word of God: 1. Some desired to hear Christ... read more
