ルカの福音書 2:43 JCB

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 2:1-52

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, under the yoke of an oppressor. Moreover, by the exigency of the circumstances, He was born amid the homeless crowd. This was according to the divine arrangement and foretelling. The message of the angel and the chorus of the heavenly host are of especial interest as revealing heaven's outlook on the birth of Jesus. That may be stated by citing two brief sentences. 1. "Glory to God in the highest," 2. "Peace on earth among men in whom He is well pleased." ... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 2:1-52

The Seven Magnificats Selections from Luke 1:1-80 and Luke 2:1-52 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction to the seven Magnificats, we will study the annunciation of the birth of Christ, as it was given by the angel unto Mary. Our study will follow Luke 1:27-38 . 1. The virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph. We emphasize that Mary was a virgin. This was plainly set forth in the prophetic Scriptures, when the Holy Ghost wrote, "A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 2:40-52

The Childhood of Christ Luke 2:40-52 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We come now into the study of a Holy Child. He was a Child different from any other child ever born of woman. As preparatory to the study proper let us mark some of those things which prove the statement just made that Christ the Child was distinct from and different to all other sons of men. 1. No one in birth ever was heralded as the Christ Child was heralded. Far back, in the garden of Eden, when the first pair sinned, God came... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 2:42-51

THE TEMPLE AND THE HOME‘When He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem.… And He went down with them, … and was subject unto them.’ Luke 2:42-Colossians : In this passage we learn something of Christ when He was young. We read the only circumstance recorded of His early years (cf. Isaiah 53:2). We hear His first words, ‘Wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s business?’—words that involve the principle for all our lives. Where could we find such a picture of early piety on earth?... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 2:41-51

Jesus Goes Up to the Temple and Receives Understanding in the Things of God in His Father’s Presence (2:41-51). We are now given an example of how He has developed through the years, for He meets up as a twelve year old boy with the great teachers of Jerusalem, and they are amazed by His questions and responses, and by His understanding. We are also made to see that He is like no other and claims a special relationship with ‘His Father’. We may analyse this passage as follows: a And His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 2:42-43

‘And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast, and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem, and his parents did not know it.’ Every Jewish boy came of age at thirteen from which point on he was looked on as a responsible adult and expected to fulfil his religious responsibilities, becoming ‘a son of the Law’. Thus the Rabbis recommended that boys who were approaching that age be brought to the feasts so... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 2:40-52

Luke 2:40-1 Thessalonians : . An Incident in Jesus’ Boyhood.— The lad grows in body and mind and is blessed by God. When He is twelve years old He accompanies His parents to the Passover at Jerusalem, and when the week’ s Feast is over, remains behind unknown to them. They return to seek Him, and after a long search find Him in one of the Temple porticos joining intelligently in the discussions of the scribes. He goes home and Uves obediently with them, and continues His allround development... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 2:43-46

The feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread, held seven days, during which time Joseph and Mary stayed in Jerusalem, and then returned. They usually both went to and returned from these feasts in great troops, or companies. Christ tarried behind; Mary, thinking he had been in the company, missed him not; they return to Jerusalem to seek him. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 2:40-52

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 2:40. Waxed strong.—The words “in spirit” are added from Luke 1:80; omitted in R.V. Filled with wisdom.—Lit. “becoming full of wisdom.” The grace of God.—The favour of God. The first point noted is healthy physical growth, the second a proportionate increase of knowledge, and the third an enjoyment of God’s favour.Luke 2:41.—The male Israelites were commanded to attend the three yearly feasts (Exodus 23:14-17); but the custom seems to have fallen into abeyance. The attendance... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 2:41-52

Luke 2:41-52 This passage is one of peculiar interest, as this account which it gives is the only circumstance mentioned of our blessed Lord from His childhood till He was thirty years of age. And while it contains much matter for deeper reflection, it bears at once on the surface this information that He was living in strict obedience to the law of Moses, and in wonderful lowliness and meekness, was being brought up as any child of human parents might be. I. Our Lord does not appear before us... read more
