G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 12:1-59

Knowing that the enmity of the rulers against Him would proceed also against His disciples, He told them not to be afraid of those who kill the body, remembering ever their Father's care, as revealed in the sparrows, and in the numbering of the hairs of their heads. His address to His disciples was interrupted by one of the multitude. It was an appeal for action in the matter of the distribution of property. Refusing to arbitrate, He uttered the great parable of the rich fool, declaring... read more

IDEALS LOST AND RECOVERED‘Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning: And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.’ Luke 12:35-Zephaniah : It is not for correction only, but for our great encouragement, that our Lord gives us this image of a Christian life. I. The worldliness of individuals is more pressingly important for us than the danger of a worldly... read more

Jesus Teaches Concerning Greed, Stewardship and the Need For Fruitfulness Under The Kingly Rule of God Centring on the Fact That He Will Make The Crooked Straight (12:1-14:35). As we have seen we may analyse this next Section from Luke 12:1 to Luke 14:35 into its separate parts as follows: a Instructions to disciples concerning facing up to eternity (Luke 12:1-12). b An example is given of covetousness concerning an inheritance which is followed by the parable of the fool who decided to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:35

“Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning,” The parable begins with a description of what is required of the Lord’s servants. In modern terms we would say that they have to have their sleeves rolled up and the lights switched on so that they can go about their tasks with all their might. They have to be like those swotting up in the week before their examinations, concentrating all their attention and effort on it. ‘Your loins girded.’ The long robes they wore hindered work, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:35-38

The First Parable - The Servants in Readiness (12:35-38). In this parable Jesus is dealing with the responsibility that all who claim to be His servants have for the whole world (the lord’s house), although those who originally heard it probably thought in terms of the people of Israel. The emphasis is on the responsibility of those who are put in position of authority by Him, whether high or low. The crowds and the Pharisees probably in fact saw in it just a pointer to the need to be faithful... read more

What The Attitude Of His Disciples Should Be (12:35-40). The parable that follows confirms that Jesus will have been previously laying out the background to them (we know so little of the much that He taught them). He had certainly told them that He would die, and rise again (Luke 9:22; Luke 9:31; Luke 9:44; Luke 12:8 assumes it), and as Mark makes clear it was a lesson repeated a number of times (Mark 8:31; Mark 9:12; Mark 9:31; Mark 10:45. Note how the verbs demonstrate that it was constant... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:36

“And be you yourselves like to men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast, that, when he comes and knocks, they may open to him straight away.” And the servants themselves had to be like men who were waiting for the return of their lord who could arrive at any moment. He had gone to a marriage feast (which would be of uncertain length), but all must be ready for his return, and when he did arrive and knock things had to be in such a state of readiness that they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:37

“Truly I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to food, and will come and serve them.” Indeed they will be so blessed that they will receive far more than they could ever have anticipated. It will become a special Servant’s Day. The lord himself will tuck in his robes and sit them down at his table, and will himself come and serve them. It is one of the quirks of human nature that through the ages important men have had ‘servants’ days’ when precisely this was done. For... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:38

“And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, blessed are those servants.” And they must be in a state of readiness whenever he returns, whether in the second watch or the third. The Jews had three ‘watches’ to the night (as against the Romans with four), at which point guards would be changed, and new sentries posted. And the night was thought of in terms of those three periods of watching. Thus the idea is that they should be ready all night. (No servant... read more

The Second Parable - The Thief Breaking In (12:39). “But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.” The second illustration is of the arrival of a thief. No one knows when it will happen, for if they did they would be in readiness and it would not happen. ‘Broken through.’ The thief would enter a house by breaking through the mud walls of a typical Palestinian house. Again the... read more
