Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:12-19

The Laying Of The Foundation For The New Israel (6:12-19). After revealing what He has come to be, Jesus now goes about establishing the new Israel. He appoints leaders for the twelve tribes (Luke 6:12-16). He proclaims a new Law (Luke 6:17-49). He provides a foretaste of the sending out of His power to the Gentiles (Luke 7:1-10). He raises the dead, a foretaste of the resurrection (Luke 7:11-17). He points to His signs and wonders in order to encourage John and as evidence that He is the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:16

‘And Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.’ Judas, the son of James (‘Judas, not Iscariot’ - John 14:22), is probably Thaddaeus, (which Matthew possibly has as Lebbaeus. This is, however, by no means certain as many manuscripts have Thaddaeus. One may have been a new name and one a nickname). Judas Iscariot is always mentioned last because he betrayed Jesus. Luke specifically designates him as the one who became a traitor. If his name means man (ish) of Kerioth... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:12-19

Luke 6:12-Psalms : . The Appointment of the Twelve. Miracles of Healing ( Mark 3:12-Psalms : *, Matthew 10:2-Numbers :; Matthew 12:15-Ecclesiastes : *).— Mk. puts the healings first. Lk. transposes his order to bring the Twelve into prominence. Jesus prepares for the choice by a night of prayer, and then deliberately marks off the Twelve from the rank and file of the disciples. Judas (the son) of James, takes the place of Thaddæ us (Mk.) or Lebbæ us (Mt.). Jesus comes down (to the plain or... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 6:13-16

We have twice already met with these names of the twelve disciples, whom our Saviour called apostles, intending them not only to be with him, and to have a more special communion with him, but also to be sent out with power to preach, baptize, and to work miracles: See Poole on "Matthew 10:2-4". See Poole on "Mark 3:14", and following verses to Mark 3:19. There were amongst them two whose names were Simon: the one Christ named Peter; the other is called Simon Zelotes here; Simon the Canaanite,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 6:12-19

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 6:12. Went out.—I.e. from Capernaum. A mountain.—Rather, “the mountain” (R.V.)—that is, the mountainous country, the high table-land above the Lake of Gennesaret. Prayer to God.—The expression in the original is rather peculiar, but there is no doubt that this is its meaning. The idea that by the word translated “prayer” is meant a proseucha or place of prayer is far-fetched and incongruous. The narrative seems to imply that the prayer had reference to the coming selection of... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 6:1-49

Chapter 6Now it came to pass on the second Sabbath ( Luke 6:1 )Now He is going to deal with a couple of instances on the Sabbath day. We've been introduced now to the Pharisees; they're beginning to really get into it and trying to find fault with Jesus and condemn Him for the things He is doing. And they condemned Him for eating with the publicans. He, of course, spoke out against their condemnation, telling them, "Hey, you guys belong in the old skins, and so I am just going not try and give... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 6:1-49

Luke 6:1 . On the second sabbath after the first. The Hebrew law is, Leviticus 23:11, on the morrow after the sabbath, the priest shall wave the sheaf east and west, north and south, to denote the universal gratitude which all the earth should pay to heaven for the gift of the harvest. “The Baithuseans,” says Dr. Lightfoot, “contend that the first day of the passover should be on the sabbath, that the offering of the sheaf might fall on the first day of the week. And likewise, that the... read more

Luke 6:13-16And when it was day, He called unto Him His disciples: and of them He chose twelve, whom also He named apostlesThe call of the twelveUp till this time it can hardly be said that the kingdom of God was set up.At the hour of His widest popularity, yet at a crisis of gathering peril, in face of the people and the adversary together, He virtually sets up His kingdom. It was a moment of decision. It was a policy of safety, because a policy of boldness. It was an act of calm, foresighted... read more
