Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:20-37

20-37 The kingdom of God was among the Jews, or rather within some of them. It was a spiritual kingdom, set up in the heart by the power of Divine grace. Observe how it had been with sinners formerly, and in what state the judgments of God, which they had been warned of, found them. Here is shown what a dreadful surprise this destruction will be to the secure and sensual. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. When Christ came to destroy the Jewish nation by the Roman... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 17:1-99

Luke 17 THE LATTER PART of the previous chapter, verse Luk_17:14 to the end, was spoken to the Pharisees: at the beginning of this chapter the Lord again addresses His disciples. The rich man had stumbled over his possessions into hell, and now the Lord tells His disciples that, the world being what it is, “offences,” or occasions of stumbling are inevitable. The great thing is to avoid being an “offence” to anyone else, to even the least important. The consequences are so serious that... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 17:26-30

The suddenness of Christ's advent: v. 26. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man. v. 27. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the Flood came, and destroyed them all. v. 28. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; v. 29. but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire... read more

2. Discourses of Jesus concerning the Kingdom of God (Luke 17:20-37)20And when he was demanded of [inquired of by] the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not withobservation [i. e., so that it can be gazed at]: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you [rather, in the midst of you].22And he said unto the disciples, The [om., The] days will come, when ye shall desireto see one... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 17:22-37

“The Days of the Son of Man” Luke 17:22-37 Clearly enough, our Lord foresaw the approaching dissolution of the Jewish state. There was no help for it, notwithstanding all that the Baptist and Christ Himself had done. Suddenly and inevitably its doom must befall, as the deluge in the old world and the overthrow of Sodom. The Roman eagles would gather round the devoted city and only instant flight would avail. The early Christian disciples were warned by these words, and escaped to Pella,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 17:1-37

The thinking of the Master for His disciples is always that they should live in love. He knew, however, that offenses must come. In that connection He uttered the solemn word of warning, "Woe unto him through whom - they come." He then gave instructions on our attitude toward the offender. There follows the story of the lepers. Ten men with a common need lifted a cry of agony in petition to the Son of God. Ten men were directed by Him to do what appeared absurd. The law required to show... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 17:28

THREE CRITICAL DAYS‘And as it was in the days of Noe … when the Son of Man is revealed.’ Luke 17:26; Luke 17:28; Luke 17:30 The subject is the Kingdom of God. A number of Pharisees had forced themselves upon our Lord with the question, ‘when the Kingdom of God should come?’ And our Lord answered them. ‘The Kingdom of God,’ He said, ‘cometh not with observation’ or outward show. It is a spiritual kingdom in the hearts and consciences of men. To the inquiring Pharisees He said no more. But to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:1-37

Men Must Live In The Light Of The Coming Of The Son of Man In His Glory (15:1-19:28). Having established in Section 1 that Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the city of David where He was proclaimed ‘Saviour’ and ‘Lord Messiah’; and in Section 2 that as ‘the Son of God’ Jesus had faced His temptations as to what His Messiahship would involve and defeated the Tempter; and that in Section 3 He had proclaimed in parables the secrets of ‘the Kingly Rule of God’; and had in Section 4 taught His... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:27

“They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.” And what happened in ‘the days of Noah?’ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage. In other words life seemed to be going on as normal. They continued blissfully unaware of Noah’s activities in their midst. They ignored both his building of the Ark which condemned the world (Hebrews 11:7) and the proclamation of his... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:28-29

“In the same way even as it occurred in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built, but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.” A second example is now given, the days of Lot, which is ‘in the same way’, thus again being compared with the days of the Son of man. They ate and they drank, they participated in all the activities which made up their lives, firmly establishing themselves... read more
