The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 13:1-35

Notes of Christ's Sermons Luke 13:0 Luke undertook to be very minute and exhaustive in his statement of Gospel facts. He was going to do better than many other writers had done. He said so with cool frankness: "Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and ministers of the word; it seemed good to me also" that is a curious... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 13:10-17

And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 13:10-17

10-17 Our Lord Jesus attended upon public worship on the sabbaths. Even bodily infirmities, unless very grievous, should not keep us from public worship on sabbath days. This woman came to Christ to be taught, and to get good to her soul, and then he relieved her bodily infirmity. This cure represents the work of Christ's grace upon the soul. And when crooked souls are made straight, they will show it by glorifying God. Christ knew that this ruler had a real enmity to him and to his gospel, and... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 13:1-99

Luke 13 JUST AT THAT moment some of those present mentioned the case of certain unhappy men of Galilee, who had paid the extreme penalty under Pilate. They had the impression that they were sinners of the deepest dye. The Lord charged home upon His hearers that their own guilt was just as great, and that they too would perish, and He cited the further case of the eighteen slain by the fall of the tower at Siloam. In the popular view these were exceptional happenings indicating exceptional... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 13:1-17

E. The Son of Man in relation to the Sin of One and the Misery of Another. Luke 13:1-171There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood 2Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus [he] answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they 3[have] suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise 4perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 13:10-17

Luke TRUE SABBATH OBSERVANCE Luk_13:10 - Luk_13:17 . This miracle was wrought, unasked, on a woman, in a synagogue, and by all these characteristics was specially interesting to Luke. He alone records it. The narrative falls into two parts-the miracle, and the covert attack of the ruler of the synagogue, with our Lord’s defence. What better place than the synagogue could there be for a miracle of mercy? The service of man is best built on the service of God, and the service of God is as... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 13:10-17

Good Work for the Sabbath Luke 13:10-17 There was in this woman a noble principle which led her to persevere in attending God’s house, although there was much to discourage her. Probably she was animated by a faith which made her specially susceptible to the healing word of Christ. Infirmity of any kind should drive us to the house of God. We shall meet Jesus there. When He says, loosed, all the powers of hell cannot bind us down. “He breaks the power of cancelled sin.” The charge of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 13:1-35

Someone brought to our Lord an account of a happening which seemed to suggest that those who suffered catastrophe are proved to be "sinners above all." He directly contradicted that view, and in that connection uttered the great parable of the fig tree, revealing the true principles of life. There follow three full-length portraits: of Jesus, in His attitude toward this woman; of the ruler, and his objection; of the woman herself, a daughter of Abraham under the power of evil. Luke links two... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 13:11-14

THE UPLIFTING POWER OF THE GOSPEL‘And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.… Immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.’ Luke 13:11-2 Chronicles : Luke dwells with peculiar sympathy on the tenderness of Christ.Our text is an illustration of the verse, ‘I am found of them that sought Me not.’ Here is grace, amazing grace, sovereign grace, grace much more abounding, as St. Paul would... read more
