Luke 12:29-32 ASV

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

Luke 12:29Neither be ye of doubtful mindA new parableOur Lord here crushes a whole world of meaning into a single word, which, as we study it, resolves itself into a bright, impressive picture or parable.The phrase really comes to this: “Do not toss about in the windy offing, when you may ride safely in the sheltered haven.” And if we take it in connection with what goes before and what comes after, we find that the complete parable runs thus: “Do not toss about on the wide dangerous sea of... read more

Luke 12:31Seek ye the Kingdom of GodManner of sanctifying our exertions for daily breadThe Lord gives us continually our daily bread, multiplying for this the grain in the field; yet are we contented with it?The reason of our discontentedness is, because we are inclined to make our daily pursuits for a livelihood the main point, and the Kingdom of God a secondary one. Perhaps we go so far even as to separate one from the other, although religion, like the leaven, should penetrate all our works... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 12:29

28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. Ver. 29. Neither be ye of doubtful mind ] μη μετεωριζεσθε . Hang not in suspense, as meteors do in the air, not certain whether to hang or fall to the ground.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 12:32

30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Ver. 32. Fear not, little flock ] Gr. little, little flock. There is in the original a double diminutive.
