Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 5:12-15

Chapter 16THE MIRACLES OF HEALING.IT is only natural that our Evangelist should linger with a professional as well as a personal interest over Christ’s connection with human suffering and disease, and that in recounting the miracles of healing He should be peculiarly at home; the theme would be in such thorough accord with his studies and tastes. It is true he does not refer to these miracles as being a fulfillment of prophecy; it is left for St. Matthew, who weaves his Gospel on the unfinished... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Luke 5:15

5:15 {3} But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.(3) Christ would rather be well known by his doctrine than by miracles, and therefore he departs from those that seek him as a physician of the body, and not as the author of salvation. read more

L.M. Grant

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 5:1-39

PETER, JAMES AND JOHN CALLED AS DISCIPLES (vs.1-11) It is good to read in verse 1 that by the Lake of Gennesaret (or Sea of Galilee) the people pressed upon the Lord Jesus, not to see miracles, but to hear the Word of God. Two fishing boats were nearby, the fishermen taking time to wash their nets. We elsewhere read of Simon and Andrew "casting a net into the sea" (Mark 1:16), typically the labor of evangelists in fishing for men; then of James and John "mending their nets" (Mark 1:19),... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 5:1-16

THE MINISTRY BEGUN AT NAZARETH (Luke 4:16-30 ) It was the custom for visitors to be granted the privilege of reading the Scriptures on such occasions (Luke 4:16-17 ), and Jesus read from Isaiah 61:0 . Perhaps it was not the appointed portion for that day, which may explain the last sentence of Luke 4:20 . However, when He began to apply the prophecy to Himself (Luke 4:21 ), there was astonishment indeed, for nothing like that had ever been heard. Luke 4:23 indicates the state of mind and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 5:12-16

(12) And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold, a man full of leprosy; who seeing Jesus, fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. (13) And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; Be thou clean; and immediately the leprosy departed from him. (14) And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. (15) But so... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 5:12-16

12-16 This man is said to be full of leprosy; he had that distemper in a high degree, which represents our natural pollution by sin; we are full of that leprosy; from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot there is no soundness in us. Strong confidence and deep humility are united in the words of this leper. And if any sinner, from a deep sense of vileness, says, I know the Lord can cleanse, but will he look upon such a one as me? will he apply his own precious blood for my cleansing and... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 5:1-99

Luke 5 IN THE PREVIOUS chapter we saw the Lord Jesus coming forth in the power of the Spirit to announce the grace of God, and being confronted at once with man’s rejection. We saw that nevertheless He pursued His way of grace unmoved by it. This chapter now presents us with a series of lovely pictures, illustrating what grace accomplishes in the case of those who receive it. Four men come before us Peter, the leper, the paralytic, Levi and a different feature marks each. They follow one... read more
