Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 3:19-20

These two verses sufficiently confirm to us, that we are not to expect to find the several passages in the Gospel concerning John the Baptist set down according to the order of time in which they happened, for the evangelist sets down the imprisonment of John before the baptism of Christ, mentioned in the two next verses, which we know could not be as to the order of time, our Saviour being baptized by John. John was in so great repute, that Herod himself heard him, did many things, and heard... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 3:15-20

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Luke 3:15-20Acceptance and Rejection of the Divine Message.—The work of separating the wheat from the chaff and of bringing to light the hidden thoughts of men is done by every true messenger of God to men. Some receive the Divine word gladly, others harden their hearts against it. This twofold result was very marked in the case of John the Baptist.I. The Divine message he brought awakened the attention of the nation and excited eager questionings and... read more

DISCOURSE: 1483THE IMPRISONMENT OF JOHNLuke 3:19-20. Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.THE inspired volume, when considered only as containing a history of other ages and other nations, is read rather for the purpose of informing the mind, than of benefiting the heart; and hence it produces comparatively little effect even on those who are most... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 3:1-38

Shall we turn to Luke's gospel chapter 3.As Luke begins the third chapter, he is giving you the date of the beginning of the ministry of John the Baptist, and he uses no less than six historic references points to tell you when John began his ministry.It was in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea, and Herod was the tetrarch ( Luke 3:1 )And the word "tetrarch" means a ruler of a fourth part. And when Herod the Great died, he left the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 3:1-38

Luke 3:1 . In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Cæsar. St. Luke begins this chapter in a scientific manner; he speaks as a man of letters, and gives posterity a chronological record. Pontius Pilate had been governor, or as some call him only procurator of Judea, but one or two years, when the word of the Lord came to John. Herod the great, tetrarch of Galilee. From this title it would seem that he held four provinces under his government. Philip, tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis; that... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 3:20

Luke 3:18; Luke 3:20He shut up John in prisonHerod AntipasThe view here given of the character, conduct, and history of Herod Antipas is full of matter for awful reflection and serious admonition.1. The mysteriousness of the ways of Providence. That a man so worthless should be permitted to cut short the labours and the life of so holy and useful a character, and that, too, in order to gratify the revenge of an abandoned adulteress, and to reward the vain exhibition of a giddy damsel, must, no... read more
