ルカの福音書 14:35 JCB

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:25-35

The Call To Discipleship (14:25-35). Luke closes this section off as he opened it by showing Jesus as challenging His disciples and His would be disciples to consider what was involved in what they were setting out to do. He wanted them to recognise fully what was involved. His challenge to put Him before their own families is a reminder of the division that His coming could cause within families (Luke 12:51-53; compare Luke 8:19-21). His call for them to bear their crosses was a reminder of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:34-35

“Salt therefore is good, but if even the salt has lost its savour (literally ‘if it become foolish’), with what shall it be seasoned. It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill. Men cast it out.” Jesus then finishes with a warning of the danger of becoming a disciple and then losing the very ‘virtue’ which makes us useful in His service, our totally dedicated hearts. He does it in terms of salt. Salt is good. It offers great benefits to man while it retains its saltness. It can be used... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:35

“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Jesus then finishes this passage, and the whole section, with the plea that men and women might hear His words. Let those who have ears to hear, hear. This could signify that they must ensure that they listen, mark, learn and inwardly digest. Or that only those to whom God gives ‘hearing’ will understand. Both are true, for the one complements the other. The question therefore that each of us must ask is, have we got hearing ears? read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:25-35

Luke 14:25-Habakkuk : . Discipleship and its Cost.— The passage is a reminder that, despite the universality of the Kingdom, the number of its true subjects is small. To the crowd that is following Him Jesus applies a stringent and sifting test. Few after all will reach the Messianic banquet, and only then after much tribulation. The saying of Luke 14:26 f. is in a harder form than Matthew 10:37 f., and it is better to think that Mt. has softened it than for us to do so here. Such... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 14:34-35

See Poole on "Matthew 5:13". See Poole on "Mark 9:50", where we met with the most of what we have in these verses. By salt in this place our Saviour seemeth to mean a Christian life and profession. It is a good, a noble, a great thing to be a Christian: but one that is so in an outward profession may lose his savour. Though a man cannot fall away from truth, and reality of grace, yet he may fall away from his profession; he may be given up to believe lies, and embrace damnable errors; he may... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 14:25-35

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 14:25. There went with Him.—I.e., journeyed with Him; many, if not most, of them being on their way to one of the feasts in Jerusalem. The multitudes were attracted by Christ’s teaching and works, and He wished to teach His followers the wide difference between an outward and a real adhesion to Him. He spoke these stern words to sift the multitude. The purpose of self-sacrifice by which He was inspired lent force to His utterances. “The nearer the approach of His own... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 14:1-35

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to the gospel according to Luke, chapter 14.The fourteenth chapter involves an invitation for Jesus to come to a supper on the Sabbath day and of the things that transpired at that supper, and the subsequent exchange between Jesus and the people as Jesus talked to them concerning etiquette and concerning the demands of the kingdom.So it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him (... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 14:1-35

Luke 14:3 . Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day. When customs are good, let us keep them; but when they are burthensome and inconsistent, the Saviour refused submission to the traditions of men. Yet he condescended to assign reasons, for we should use great forbearance with misguided men On another occasion he said, My Father works, in the shining of the sun, and I work. Ye also circumcise a son on the sabbath; and if it be lawful for you to wound, why not for me to heal? You help a... read more
