路加福音 12:23 RCUVTS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 12:1-59

The Rich Fool Luk 12:16-20 Let us find out where this man, called a "fool," got wrong. There seem to be some points of common-sense in the man. One is, therefore, curious to know where he breaks away from good thinking into foolish planning, and where he proves himself to be an atheist. "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully" ( Luk 12:16 ). There is nothing wrong in that. There is no harm in having good crops, fields beautiful with the produce of nature. You cannot... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 12:22-31

(22) And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. (23) The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (24) Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? (25) And which of you, with taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit? (26) If ye then be not able to do... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:22-40

22-40 Christ largely insisted upon this caution not to give way to disquieting, perplexing cares, Matthew 6:25-34. The arguments here used are for our encouragement to cast our care upon God, which is the right way to get ease. As in our stature, so in our state, it is our wisdom to take it as it is. An eager, anxious pursuit of the things of this world, even necessary things, ill becomes the disciples of Christ. Fears must not prevail; when we frighten ourselves with thoughts of evil to come,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 12:1-99

Luke 12 INSTEAD OF BEING provoked by the vehement opposition of the scribes and Pharisees, the Lord improved the occasion by calmly instructing His disciples in the presence of the enormous crowd, that the controversy had drawn together. He had just been fuming the searchlight of truth on the religious leaders: He now turned the same light on the disciples and their path. In the first place He warned them against the hypocrisy, which He had just been unmasking in the Pharisees. It is indeed a... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 12:1-34

4. For what the Disciple of the Saviour has, and for what he has not, to take care (Luke 12:1-34)1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude [lit., the myriads] of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which Isaiah 2:0 hypocrisy. For [But1] there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, 3that shall not be known. Therefore, whatsoever ye... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 12:22-23

Luke THE RICH FOOL ANXIOUS ABOUT EARTH, OR EARNEST ABOUT THE KINGDOM Luk_12:22 - Luk_12:31 . The parable of the rich fool was spoken to the multitude, but our Lord now addresses the disciples. ‘Therefore’ connects the following with the foregoing teachings. The warnings against anxiety are another application of the prohibition of laying up treasure for self. Torturing care is the poor man’s form of worldliness, as luxurious self-indulgence is the rich man’s. There are two kinds of gout, as... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 12:22-34

the Cure for Anxious Care Luke 12:22-34 Notice this contrast between two kinds of men: the one cares for himself, is anxious for this life, worries about food and clothes and standing a cubit higher in the estimate of his fellows; the other is content to fill the niche and do the work assigned him by the Father. And he performs his life-task, not for the remuneration it will bring, but for the “well-done” of God-sure that all which is needed, whether for his soul or body, will be provided by... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 12:1-59

Knowing that the enmity of the rulers against Him would proceed also against His disciples, He told them not to be afraid of those who kill the body, remembering ever their Father's care, as revealed in the sparrows, and in the numbering of the hairs of their heads. His address to His disciples was interrupted by one of the multitude. It was an appeal for action in the matter of the distribution of property. Refusing to arbitrate, He uttered the great parable of the rich fool, declaring... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:1-59

Jesus Teaches Concerning Greed, Stewardship and the Need For Fruitfulness Under The Kingly Rule of God Centring on the Fact That He Will Make The Crooked Straight (12:1-14:35). As we have seen we may analyse this next Section from Luke 12:1 to Luke 14:35 into its separate parts as follows: a Instructions to disciples concerning facing up to eternity (Luke 12:1-12). b An example is given of covetousness concerning an inheritance which is followed by the parable of the fool who decided to... read more
