Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 5:1-11
4. The call of Peter, James, and John 5:1-11 (cf. Matthew 4:18-22; Mark 1:16-20)Luke’s account of this incident is the longest of the three. Luke stressed Peter and omitted any reference to Andrew, his brother (Matthew 4:18; Mark 1:16). He characteristically focused on single individuals that Jesus’ touched wherever possible to draw attention to Jesus. He also stressed the sovereignty and holiness of Jesus as well as these disciples’ total abandonment of their possessions to follow Jesus. Jesus... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 5:10-11
Jesus does not depart from nor reject sinners who feel conviction because of their sin. He draws them to Himself and sends them out to serve Him. Jesus used the fish to represent people that Peter would draw into the kingdom of God and before that into the church (cf. Acts 2; Acts 10:9-48). This seems to be a reference to catching in the sense of saving rather than in the sense of judging and destroying."Fishermen caught live fish to kill them, but the disciples would be catching people who... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 5:12
One of the cities of Galilee is what Luke meant in view of the context. He revealed his particular interest in medical matters again by noting that leprosy covered this man completely. There could be no doubt that he was a leper. As Peter had done, this man fell on His face before Jesus (cf. Luke 5:8). As Peter, he also appealed to Jesus as "Lord" (Luke 5:8). This address was respectful and appropriate for addressing someone with special power from God. [Note: G. Vermes, Jesus the Jew, pp.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 5:12-16
1. Jesus’ cleansing of a leprous Jew 5:12-16 (cf. Matthew 8:1-4; Mark 1:40-45)This miracle was to be a "testimony" to others about Jesus’ person (Luke 5:14). It authenticated His person and His teaching. It also shows the blessings that Jesus brought to people, specifically the spiritual cleansing of those whom sin has polluted (cf. Luke 4:18)."Like sin, leprosy ["a defiling skin disease" TNIV] is deeper than the skin (Leviticus 13:3) and cannot be helped by mere ’surface’ measures (see... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 5:13
By stretching out His hand and touching the leper, Jesus was doing the unthinkable (Leviticus 13). He probably did this to express His compassion for the man as well as to identify Himself beyond doubt as the source of his healing (cf. Exodus 4:4; Exodus 6:6; Exodus 14:16; Exodus 15:12; Jeremiah 17:5; Acts 4:30). Jesus’ words offered him reassurance (cf. Luke 5:10). Jesus’ authority extended to power over disease and ceremonial uncleanness. Doctor Luke again noted an immediate cure (cf. Luke... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 5:14
The healing of lepers was a messianic act (cf. Luke 7:22). Therefore the man’s "testimony" to his cleansing amounted to an announcement of Messiah’s arrival. Jesus did not want this man to fail to go to Jerusalem and present the required offering for the healing of leprosy (Leviticus 14:1-32). If the man had broadcast his healing, he may never have reached the priests there and the crowds may have mobbed Him even worse than they were already doing. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 5:15-16
Luke omitted the fact that the man disobeyed Jesus (Mark 1:45) perhaps because this would have undermined his emphasis on Jesus’ authority. Instead he stressed the spread of the story (lit. "word," Gr. logos) concerning Jesus. The spread of the gospel concerning Jesus is a major theme of both this Gospel and the Book of Acts. This healing increased Jesus’ popularity. However, His response was not to rest on popular approval but to renew His dependence on His Father by praying in a solitary... read more
