Luke 13:28-35 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 13:23-30

We have here, I. A question put to our Lord Jesus. Who it was that put it we are not told, whether a friend or a foe; for he both gave a great liberty of questioning him and returned answers to the thoughts and intents of the heart. The question was, Are there few that are saved? Luke 13:23: ei oligoi hoi sozomenoi??If the saved be few? Master, I have heard thou shouldest say so; is it true?? 1. Perhaps it was a captious question. He put it to him, tempting him, with a design to ensnare him... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 13:31-35

Here is, I. A suggestion to Christ of his danger from Herod, now that he was in Galilee, within Herod's jurisdiction (Luke 13:31): Certain of the Pharisees (for there were those of that sect dispersed all the nation over) came to Christ, pretending friendship and a concern for his safety, and said, Get thee out of this country, and depart hence, for otherwise Herod will kill thee, as he did John. Some think that these Pharisees had no ground at all for this, that Herod had not given out any... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 13:22-30

13:22-30 Jesus continued to go through towns and villages, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem. "Lord," someone said to him, "are those who are to be saved few in number?" He said to them, "Keep on striving to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able to. Once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and when you begin to stand outside and knock, saying, 'Lord, open to us,' he will answer you, 'I do not know where you... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 13:31-35

13:31-35 At that hour some Pharisees came to Jesus. "Depart," they said to him, "and get on your way from this place, because Herod is out to kill you." "Go," he said, "and tell that fox, look you, I cast out demons and I work cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day my work is perfected. I must be on my way today, and tomorrow and the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Killer of the prophets! Stoner of those who were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 13:28

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth ,.... See Gill on Matthew 8:12 . This will be upon hearing the above sentence and character, "depart from me", &c.; and will be increased, when ye shall see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob : whose offspring they were, and to whom they stood related according to the flesh; and of descent, from whom they boasted, and even trusted in it, thinking themselves the favourites of heaven, and expecting to be admitted into the kingdom of God, on account... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 13:29

And they shall come ,.... From all parts the world, from every nation under the heavens; meaning the Gentiles, and which will be a greater aggravation of the punishment of the Jews, and cause still more rage and madness: these shall come from the east and from the west ; from the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same, Isaiah 45:6 and from the north, and from the south ; from the most distant parts of the world inhabited by men; see Isaiah 43:5 . God has his chosen... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 13:30

And behold, there are last which shall be first ,.... The Gentiles, the most mean and abject, afar from God, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, called last of all; these shall be first, and sit down among patriarchs and prophets, men of the first rank here on earth, in the kingdom of heaven, and enjoy the same glory and happiness with them: and there are first which shall be last : the Jews, who were first the visible professing people of God, to whom the oracles of God, and outward... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 13:31

The same day there came certain of the Pharisees ,.... Who dwelt in Galilee, for they were in all parts of the country: these being nettled and filled with indignation at Christ, because of the parables he had that day delivered, the miracles he had wrought, and the several awful and striking things which dropped from him, and which they knew respected them; contrived to get rid of him, by frightening him with a design of Herod's, to take away his life, should he continue there: for this... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 13:32

And he said unto them, go ye and tell that fox ,.... Herod, who it may be sent them, of which Christ was not ignorant, nor of his design in it; and who, as Nero, for his cruelty, is compared to a lion, so he for his subtlety in this instance, as well as in the whole of his conduct, to a fox; though some think Christ has a regard to the Pharisees, and their craftiness, in forming this story, pretending good will to him, by acquainting him of Herod's malicious designs, when their view was only... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 13:33

Nevertheless, I must walk ,.... The Syriac version reads, "I must work", and so the Arabic: as going about doing good, casting out devils, and healing diseases: today and tomorrow, and the day following : a few days more in Galilee, and towards Jerusalem: all the Oriental versions read, "the day following I shall depart"; either out of this world; or out of Galilee, and go to Jerusalem, and there suffer and die: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem ; because the... read more
