Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 18:2-8

We have here the parable, and the interpretation thereof, both, Luke 18:1, in the proparabole, or the words immediately going before it, and also in an epiparabole, or some words following it, which sufficiently explain our Saviour’s scope and intention in it, viz. To assure his people, that though the Lord show a great deal of patience towards wicked men, who are the enemies of his people, and doth not presently answer their cries for a deliverance of them out of their hand; yet if they go on... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 18:1-8

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 18:1 And He spake a parable.—This parable is closely connected with the preceding discourse about the second coming of Christ. The widow is the Church; the judge is God, who long forbears to avenge her wrongs. The parable is of a somewhat paradoxical nature, like that of the Unjust Steward, and like that of the Selfish Neighbour (chap. Luke 11:5). “The argument is: If such be the power of earnest entreaty that it can win right even from a man sunk in selfishness and fearing... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 18:1-2

Luke 18:1-2 I. This parable does not teach us to pray. There is no need that it should. Like the belief in a God, the moral sense of right and wrong, the hope of immortality, the expectation of a judgment, prayer seems as much an instinct of the soul as breathing, eating, drinking are instinctive actions of the body, which we need neither to be told, nor to learn, to do. II. It teaches us how to pray. The point here is the fervour and frequency, the constancy and perseverance, or what has been... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 18:1-43

Shall we turn tonight to Luke, chapter 18.Luke tells us that Jesus nowspoke a parable to them to this end ( Luke 18:1 ),In other words, the purpose of the parable was to encourage people to pray and not to faint.that men ought always to pray, and not to faint ( Luke 18:1 );It is interesting to me that so often when people come, almost fainting over the dilemma that they are facing, that they are just breathless, at the end of the road. They're desperate; they're almost beside themselves as they... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 18:1-43

Luke 18:1 . Men ought always to pray, and not to faint. We have continual wants, and God is always ready to hear. And as we must always be thinking of good or of evil, it is best to set the Lord always before us, and so to have our stated times of prayer, that the fire shall never go out on the altar of our heart. We should continue in prayer, because in many respects concerning particular blessings, the Lord hath just and wise reasons for delay, but he will surely answer in due time. If an... read more

Luke 18:1-8Men ought always to pray, and not to faintThe strange weapon-All-prayerWhile Christian was in the Palace Beautiful, they showed him all the remarkable objects in the armory, from the ox-goad of Shamgar to the sword of the Spirit.And amongst the arms he saw, and with some of which he was arrayed as be left the place, was a single weapon with a strange, new name--“All-prayer.” When I was a child, I used to wonder much what this could have been--its shape, its use. I imagine I know... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 18:2

2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: Ver. 2. Which feared not God, nor regarded man ] These two, fear of God and shame of the world, God hath given to men as curbs to restrain them from outrage. But sin hath loaded such an impudency in some men’s faces that they dare do anything. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 18:1-8

§ 98. PARABLE OF THE UNJUST Judges , vv1-8. As in the previous chapter, the discourse has a reference to the Second Coming of the Lord. The Church is a widow in his absence; she has an oppressive adversary, being the persecuting world, or the devil, of whom it is the instrument; God is to her, for the interval, as the relentless, unlistening judge. Great is the danger that her faith should fail, and her prayer grow faint and cease. But, in fact, she has a swift Avenger of whom she should... read more
