Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 12:6-7

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 12:1-59

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Luke's gospel, chapter 12.We are dealing with the final month in the ministry of Jesus. He has returned to Jerusalem. He will soon be leaving Jerusalem to go down to the area of the Jordan River beyond Jericho. Where He will sort of absent Himself from the authorities, until such a time as He comes back for the feast of the Passover, and makes His triumphant entry on the Sunday before the feast of the Passover.

The Greek is Gehenna, as on Isaiah 30:33. Matthew 5:22. Luke 12:6 . Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, two assarions. The assarion was the tenth of a denarion. A farthing, that is, the fourth of a penny, though correct in English, is quite erroneous when applied to the denarion, as in the Greek. Matthew 22:19.... read more
