Luke 9:21 NLT,NIV,ESV

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:1-36

3). Jesus is Revealed As The Messiah Who Has Come With Power (8:19-9:36). In this third part of Section 3 Jesus is Revealed as the glorious Messiah Who has come with power but will be involved in suffering and death (Luke 8:19 to Luke 9:36). It may be analysed as follows: a He no longer owns responsibility to His own family who do not believe in Him, and are on the outside (His own do not recognise Him) (Luke 8:19-21). b He is revealed as the One Who is from above by quelling the storm,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:18-22

Peter As The Representative of the Apostles Declares Jesus to Be the Messiah (9:18-22). The Gospel of Luke began with a clear revelations of Jesus as Son of the Most High and as Messiah (Luke 1:32; Luke 1:35; Luke 2:11; Luke 2:30). A similar idea had been conveyed in the Temptation story where ‘Son of God’ is prominent and in Jesus’ quotation at Nazareth (Luke 4:18-19). It has also been declared in veiled fashion in His descriptions of Himself as Son of Man, and Bridegroom, and in many of His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:21

‘But he charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no man,’ Then Jesus commanded them not to spread around the fact that He was the Messiah. It was good that they knew, but it was better kept to themselves for it might mislead the crowds into the wrong expectations. And from now on He began to emphasise Himself as the Son of Man, and as following the path of the son of man in Daniel 7:0, the path of suffering that would lead to the Crown. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:18-27

Luke 9:18-Daniel : . The Great Confession ( Mark 8:27 to Mark 9:1 *, Matthew 16:13-Job : *).— The changes are inconsiderable. Lk. omits the locality, but represents Jesus as at prayer; cf. Luke 3:21, Luke 9:29, Luke 11:1, The reply of the disciples, “ one of the old prophets is risen again,” reflects or perhaps is the source of the misunderstanding (of Mark 6:15) found in Luke 9:8. Peter’ s confession in Lk. is “ The Messiah of God,” cf. Luke 21:1 *. The rebuke of Peter is omitted. Note... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 9:18-22

Matthew and Mark tell us this discourse passed at Caesarea Philippi (or at least one of the same import). Matthew also gives us an account of it with more circumstances. See Poole on "Matthew 16:13", and following verses to Matthew 16:23. As he was alone praying; that is, free from the multitude, for the next words tell us, the disciples were with him. (Luke 9:22) is not to be found in the other evangelists; and if Luke hath reported these words in the right order of time, they afford us a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 9:1-62

Let's turn in our Bibles to the gospel according to Luke, chapter 9.Luke here records the sending of the twelve to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. This is not to be confused with the time that He sent out the seventy. We will get that in the beginning of chapter 10. But here He is sending out the twelve to go throughout the area of Galilee. In fact, to go as far as they can, they are to travel light. Which means that they will be traveling fast, and they will be getting out as... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 9:1-62

Luke 9:1 . He called his twelve disciples together, privately, it would seem, and gave them power and authority to preach, and to heal diseases. Those powers must go together as was foretold in Isaiah 35:0. This divine commission was ground of confidence to all thus sent into the world. A minister of Christ without ministerial powers, would be like an ambassador at a foreign court without instructions. They have the keys of the church for the admission of converts, and power to deny the... read more
