Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 16:1-31

Luke 16:1 . A certain rich man had a steward accused that he had wasted his goods. After the parable of the prodigal son, we have a second, of a prodigal steward, who had wasted his lord’s property. The spirit of the parable is, that we should so live in equity with men and in piety towards God, as to ensure the rewards and the gift of righteousness in the life to come. Luke 16:2 .

Luke 16:10-13Faithful in that which is leastOn living to God in small things1.Notice how little we know concerning the relative importance of events and duties. We use the terms “great” and “small “ in speaking of actions, occasions, plans, and duties, only in reference to their mere outward look and first impression. Some of the most latent agents and mean-looking substances in nature are yet the most operative; but yet, when we speak of natural objects, we call them great or small, not... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 16:1-31

THE PERAEAN MINISTRY, BETWEEN THE FEAST OF DEDICATION AND THE RETIREMENT TO EPHRAIM. Luke 13:22 to Luke 17:10. See Harmony, p. 101. Jesus went to the Feast of Dedication, John 10:22-40.

Many, as John assures us, who had the original testimony of the Baptist, were convinced of its fulfilment in him, and became believers on him. Of this PERAEN MINISTRY Luke here gives an... read more
