Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:35-38

Luke 12:35-Galatians : Three References to the Parousia. Luke 12:35-Zechariah : (with Luke 12:47 f.). The Need of Watchfulness.— These verses, like Luke 13:25, are clearly akin in thought to Mt.’ s parable of the Ten Bridesmaids ( cf. also Mark 13:33-Haggai :)* Loisy thinks we have here reminiscences and echoes of that parable; Wellhausen thinks Lk.’ s form the earlier; “ the fermentation in Lk. has in Mt. settled down and disappeared.” But it is quite possible that Mt. and Lk. are... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:39-48

Luke 12:39-Galatians : . The Faithful Steward ( Matthew 24:45-Colossians : *). Luke 12:39 is peculiar to Lk. The answer to Peter’ s question is that the injunctions to watchfulness are particularly applicable to the Twelve. This is emphasized by Lk.’ s use of “ steward” for Mt.’ s “ servant.” The other variants are not significant, but Luke 12:47 f. is found only in Lk.: it seems to refer to another affair, and may have been originally a continuation of Luke 12:35-Zechariah :. It contains a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 12:35-36

The first words of Luke 12:40, Be ye therefore ready also, expound Luke 12:35. In this sense we find the phrase used, 1 Kings 18:46; 2 Kings 4:29; 2 Kings 9:1; Job 38:3; Job 40:7; Jeremiah 1:17. In those Eastern countries both masters and servants were wont to wear long garments, which they were wont to gird up, either when they went to fight, or when they were to travel, Exodus 12:11 1 Kings 18:46; or when they went about any service; see Luke 17:8; John 13:4; this was a piece of their... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 12:37-40

The duty which Christ is here pressing upon his hearers is watchfulness, which signifieth: 1. A negation of sleep; 2. An industrious keeping ourselves awake with reference to some particular end. The end here expressed is the happy receiving of Christ, coming to judgment; from whence is evident, that the watching here intended is a spiritual watching, which is a denial of ourselves as to our lusts, and the sleep of sin, which is compared to sleep, Romans 13:11; Ephesians 5:14, and an... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 12:35-40

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 12:35. Loins girded.—An allusion to the long robes of the East, which those who wear them must bind up before they engage in any active employment. Lights burning.—The same lesson as in the parable of the Ten Virgins.Luke 12:36. Men that wait.—This is a different figure from the parable just named: servants waiting at home for their master’s return from the wedding. Wedding.—The word may mean a feast or entertainment of any kind. No stress, therefore, need be laid upon the... read more

DISCOURSE: 1529THE WATCHFUL SERVANTLuke 12:35-37. 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. Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.SUCH is the uncertainty... read more

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. So just where, here in Luke's account, does Jesus... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 12:1-59

Luke 12:1 . There were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people. The Greek is myriads, or ten thousands of people. Luke 12:5 . Power to cast into hell. 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
