The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 12:8-12

Confessing Christ: v. 8. Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess Me before men, him shall the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God; v. 9. but he that denieth Me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. v. 10. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. v. 11.

4. For what the Disciple of the Saviour has, and for what he has not, to take care (Luke 12:1-34)1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude [lit., the myriads] of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which Isaiah 2:0 hypocrisy. For [But1] there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, 3that shall not be known. Therefore, whatsoever ye... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 12:1-12

the Secret of Fearlessness Luke 12:1-12 The program of this paragraph seems dark. The leaven of evil always at work; the body tortured and killed; confession difficult, denial easy; the trials before synagogues and rulers; the anxiety of witnessing a good confession. The Lord never hesitated in stating the heavy tribulation through which His disciples must come to the Kingdom. But what infinite compensations! Not forgotten by God; our hairs numbered; confessed before the angels; taught how... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 12:1-59

Knowing that the enmity of the rulers against Him would proceed also against His disciples, He told them not to be afraid of those who kill the body, remembering ever their Father's care, as revealed in the sparrows, and in the numbering of the hairs of their heads. His address to His disciples was interrupted by one of the multitude. It was an appeal for action in the matter of the distribution of property. Refusing to arbitrate, He uttered the great parable of the rich fool, declaring... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 12:10

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN‘And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not he forgiven.’ Luke 12:10 It is impossible to deny that there is such a thing as an unpardonable sin. I. What is it?—It would seem to be from our Lord’s words the sin of deliberately rejecting God’s truth with the heart, while the truth is clearly known with the head. It is—( a) The sin of combining light in the understanding... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:1-12

Instruction To His Disciples About Living In The Light Of Eternity (12:1-12). Approaching the detail of the section the first thing that Jesus wants to do is make His disciples think in the light of eternity. So He warns them to beware of the hypocrisy of the Scribes and Pharisees, as illustrated in the previous passage, and of becoming like them and thinking like them (like all Jews they had been brought up to respect and take heed to these ‘great men’), and then puts their whole situation in... read more

Jesus Teaches Concerning Greed, Stewardship and the Need For Fruitfulness Under The Kingly Rule of God Centring on the Fact That He Will Make The Crooked Straight (12:1-14:35). As we have seen we may analyse this next Section from Luke 12:1 to Luke 14:35 into its separate parts as follows: a Instructions to disciples concerning facing up to eternity (Luke 12:1-12). b An example is given of covetousness concerning an inheritance which is followed by the parable of the fool who decided to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:10

“And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven.” Some of those who are called for judgment (such as Paul) may look back to a time when they had not believed, and had even blasphemed against the Son of Man. But they need not fear. Such blasphemy would have been forgiven them once they turned to Jesus Christ. And forgiveness for this will continue to available as He is proclaimed... read more
