Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 3:15-22

Luke JOHN’S WITNESS TO JESUS, AND GOD’S Luk_3:15 - Luk_3:22 . This passage falls into three parts: John’s witness to the coming Messiah Luk_3:15 - Luk_3:17; John’s undaunted rebuke of sin in high places, and its penalty Luk_3:18 - Luk_3:20; and God’s witness to Jesus Luk_3:21 - Luk_3:22. I. Luke sharply parts off the Baptist’s work as a preacher of repentance and plain morality from his work as the herald who preceded the king. The former is delineated in Luk_3:7 - Luk_3:14 , and its... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 3:15-23

the Herald Silenced; the Messiah Appears Luke 3:15-23 We are told that the time of John’s appearance was the Sabbatic year, when field-work was suspended, and the people had comparative leisure. In his passion for God, reality and truth, John asked for nothing of men; but men were willing to give him anything. The impression he made on his age was due to his selfless devotion to the coming Kingdom and its King. The great cities emptied themselves into the Jordan valley. The youth of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 3:1-38

Luke marks with great care the time of the ministry of John, employing an emperor, a governor, three tetrarchs, and two high priests to do it. By means of these names a picture of the world at the time is given to us: the empire under Tiberius Caesar, the commonwealth of Israel divided and governed by four of Rome's vassals, the priesthood degraded by a dual leadership contrary to all the law of God. It was then that the Word of God came to John, the most important event of the time. With the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 3:21-22

THE FIRST CALVARY‘How when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art My beloved Son; in Thee I am well pleased.’ Luke 3:21-Song of Solomon : The Baptism of our Lord in the River Jordan is one of the most significant events in the Gospel history. I. The Baptism of Jesus was a prophecy.—It is not always... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 3:21-22

‘Now it came about that when all the people were baptised, Jesus also having been baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, “You are my beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.” ’ Note that Luke’s concentration is on what happened after the baptism of Jesus, even more so than in Matthew and Mark, rather than on the baptism itself. What is primary in his purpose is that Jesus was praying, and... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 3:21-38

The Holy Spirit Comes on Jesus As The One Who Is The Son of David, The Son of Adam, and the Son of God (3:21-38). With this incident Luke turns his concentration to Jesus and His ministry. While what now happens does so through John’s ministry John is not mentioned, nor is Jesus’ actual baptism. We have another typical Lucan silence. John’s ministry is now to be put behind us, and we move on to the Greater than he. In this passage we see the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus with words that... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 3:21-22

This history of our Saviour’s baptism is reported both by Matthew and Mark, much most largely by Matthew; See Poole on "Matthew 3:13"., &c. Luke only addeth those words, and praying, which teacheth us that prayers ought to be joined with baptism. What was the matter of his prayer we are not told, though the following words incline some not improbably to judge that he prayed for some testimony from heaven concerning him. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 3:21-38

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 3:21.—This verse seems to imply that the baptism of Jesus was in a measure private—that He was the last to receive the rite on the particular day when He came to John. The reason why He submitted to the rite is given by Himself in Matthew 3:15, viz. that He judged it fitting for Him to conform to all the requirements of the law of Moses. Praying.—This circumstance is mentioned by St. Luke only. It is an illustration of the necessity of prayer to make any external rites... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 3:21-22

Luke 3:21-22 Christ's Baptism, a Token of Pentecost. Without all question, there is a deep and mysterious connection between the baptism of our Saviour and the coming of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles. They are, if we may so speak, parts of the same wonderful work of God, the saving Christian people by the kingdom of heaven. Christ's baptism was the beginning, the coming down of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost was the middle, the baptism of each Christian is, in a certain sense, part... read more
