路加福音 12:46 CUNPSS

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 12:46

(46) With the unbelievers.—Better, perhaps, in a less technical sense, the unfaithful, the word affording sharp contrast with the “faithful and wise steward” of Luke 12:42. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 12:1-59

Luke 12:1 The words follow an account of the Pharisees' attempt to ensnare Jesus, and Weiss's contention is that Jesus warns His disciples, not against the 'simulatio' of the Pharisees, who 'cloaked their real disposition under the appearance of extreme piety, but simply against "dissimulatio" in the sense of Galatians 2:13 , i.e. the temper which would hide its true convictions owing to the fear of man'. The man who practises ὑπόκρισις of any kind plays a part. He is insincere. But his... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:1-59

THE PEOPLE WARNED AGAINST FALSE LEADERS (vs.1-12) At a time when the crowd was extremely large, the Lord addressed His disciples "first of all," warning them to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. We have seen that their meticulous formality was only a coverup of inward evil. Why? Because their object was to impress the crowd. How great a danger this is even for true disciples! We like the recognition of others and forget to seek only the approval of God. Let us not be... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 12:1-59

WARNINGS This chapter, almost entirely original with Luke, consists of four warnings against hypocrisy (Luke 12:1-12 ), covetousness (Luke 12:13-24 ), carelessness (Luke 12:25-48 ), and ignorance (Luke 12:49-59 ). HYPOCRISY (Luke 12:1-12 ) Note the fearlessness of Christ (Luke 12:1 ), and in the same verse the typical use of “leaven” in the sense of evil, which is never used otherwise in the Bible. Hypocrisy will not avail in the day of judgment (Luke 12:2-3 ), and one of its causes, the... read more

Joseph Parker

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 12:32-48

(32) Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. (33) Sell that ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. (34) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (35) Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; (36) And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding;... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:41-53

41-53 All are to take to themselves what Christ says in his word, and to inquire concerning it. No one is left so ignorant as not to know many things to be wrong which he does, and many things to be right which he neglects; therefore all are without excuse in their sin. The bringing in the gospel dispensation would occasion desolations. Not that this would be the tendency of Christ's religion, which is pure, peaceable, and loving; but the effect of its being contrary to men's pride and lusts.... read more

Frank Binford Hole

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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 12:41-46

Peter's question and the Lord's reply: v. 41. Then Peter said unto Him, Lord, speakest Thou this parable unto us, or even to all? v. 42. And the Lord said, Who, then, is that faithful and wise steward whom his lord shall make ruler over his household to give them their portion of meat in due season? v. 43. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing-. v. 44. Of a truth I say unto you that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. v. 45. But and if... read more
