Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 7:22

(22) Go your way.—The exact agreement of the answer as reported in the two Gospels is significant as to the impression which they made at the time on those who heard them. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 7:1-50

Three Estimates of One Character Luke 7:4 ; Luke 7:6 ; Luke 7:9 I. In the first place, we have the estimate formed of this man by his neighbours, 'Saying that he was worthy'. Now in regard to this testimonial, two or three remarks may be made. (1) For one thing, it must, I think, he conceded that these elders had enjoyed the best opportunities for forming a judgment regarding him. He lived in the midst of them. (2) But these elders had another advantage in coming to a knowledge of this... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 7:18-23

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

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:1-50

A CENTURION'S SERVANT HEALED (vs.1-10) The Lord then came to Capernaum and there was appealed to by a Gentile, a Roman centurion, by means of the mediatorship of Jewish elders. In contrast to this a woman of Canaan later came to Him herself, asking His mercy for her daughter (Matthew 15:22), but He ignored her because she appealed to Him as though she was Jewish. But when she called Him "Lord" rather than "Son of David," He reminded her that she was in the place of a "dog," being a Gentile.... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 7:1-50

HIS FAME SPREADING THE CENTURION’S SE RV ANT (Luke 7:1-10 ) Matthew describes the centurion as personally entreating our Lord (Matthew 8:5-13 ), but Luke tells how he first approached him through the Jewish elders and then through other friends. THE WIDOW OF NAIN (Luke 7:11-17 ) THE WIDOW OF NAIN (Luke 7:11-17 ) is a story original with Luke. Note that no appeal was made to our Lord in this case, but that His compassion was awakened by the sight itself. This was probably the first... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 7:1-50

A Conspectus of Christ's Miracles Luke 7:0 My purpose is to show the congruity of Christ's miracles; to point out with what beauty and precision they accommodate themselves to one another; to indicate the family likeness of the miracles; how much soever they may seem to differ from one another, yet there is a central and all-uniting line bringing them into perfect congruity, and showing how possible it is in the midst of great diversity to have real spiritual unity. Observe what is in the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 7:18-35

(18) And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. (19) And John calling unto him two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? (20) When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? (21) And in the same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. (22) Then... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 7:22

Then addressing himself to these disciples of John the Baptist, he ordered them to go and relate to their master all they had seen and heard; and to tell him, that he declared all those to be happy, who, strong in faith, should not take occasion to doubt of his divine power, (the proofs of which they had so recently seen) from the weakness of his flesh, which he had taken upon himself for the love of man. --- Jesus Christ alludes to the known and full testimonies that had been given of him by... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:19-35

19-35 To his miracles in the kingdom of nature, Christ adds this in the kingdom of grace, To the poor the gospel is preached. It clearly pointed out the spiritual nature of Christ's kingdom, that the messenger he sent before him to prepare his way, did it by preaching repentance and reformation of heart and life. We have here the just blame of those who were not wrought upon by the ministry of John Baptist or of Jesus Christ himself. They made a jest of the methods God took to do them good.... read more
