Luke 5:23 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 5:17-26

Here is, I. A general account of Christ's preaching and miracles, Luke 5:17. 1. He was teaching on a certain day, not on the sabbath day, then he would have said so, but on a week-day; six days shalt thou labour, not only for the world, but for the soul, and the welfare of that. Preaching and hearing the word of God are good works, if they be done well, any day in the week, as well as on sabbath days. It was not in the synagogue, but in a private house; for even there where we ordinarily... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 5:18-26

5:18-26 Now--look you--there came men bearing on a bed a man who was paralysed, and they were trying to carry him in and to lay him before Jesus. When they could find no way to carry him in because of the crowd they climbed up on to the roof and they let him down, bed and all, through the tiles right into the middle of them in front of Jesus. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you." The scribes and Pharisees began to raise questions. "Who," they said, "is this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 5:23

Whether is it easier to say ,.... Mark adds, "to the sick of the palsy"; to whom Christ had said that his sins were forgiven him, which had given offence to the Scribes and Pharisees, imagining that he had assumed too much to himself: wherefore he proposes the following case to them, which they thought was most easy for man, or more proper and peculiar to God to say, thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, rise up and walk ? Neither of them could be said by a mere man, with effect, so as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 5:1-39

The association of Jesus and these chosen men seems to have commenced as follows: Simon (Peter) and his brother Andrew (sons of Jona), John and James (the sons of Zebedee and Salome), belonged to fisher families dwelling on the banks of the Lake of Gennesaret. They seemed to have been fast friends, at times even partners in their occupation. Sharers with many others of the youth of Israel of their time, in a passionate hope that the hour of the long-promised deliverance from the yoke of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 5:12-26

The power present to heal. In the setting forth of facts, there is another principle of guidance than chronology. We may group them around some thoughts with the view of illustrating the meaning and scope of the thought. On this principle let us regard the events related from the twelfth verse to the twenty-sixth. What they evidence is the power of the Lord that was working in Jesus as a power of healing. Strange, blessed things we shall see to-day. I. THE WORK OF SALVATION AS... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 5:12-26

The healing of the leper and the paralytic. We noticed how Jesus called the fishermen to be fishers of men, and how they nobly responded to his call, and forsook the fish and boats and friends that they might follow him. We have now before us two instructive miracles performed during his evangelistic work, and resulting in an extension of his influence. Between them there is interposed a significant remark about our Lord's private prayer, so that the order of our thought is miracle,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 5:18-25

Superabounding kindness. We learn from these words— I. CHRIST 'S CONSCIOUSNESS OF HIS OWN GREATNESS . He assumes the right to forgive men their sins ( Luke 5:20 ), and, when this right is challenged by those present, he asserts it ( Luke 5:24 ). And he does not dispute that this is a Divine prerogative. When it is claimed that only God can forgive sins ( Luke 5:21 ), his reply is one that confirms rather than questions that doctrine. To a very large extent our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 5:23

Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? The Heart-reader hears, perhaps, the murmur as it runs round the circle, and grasping in a moment all that was in the angry hearts of these men, said aloud, that all might hear, some such words as these, "See now what I am about to do. You, in your dim short-sighted wisdom, think my forgiving this poor repentant sinner his dark past, is but an empty, meaningless form of words. See now whether what I am about... read more
