Luke 8:1-13

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 8:1-99

Luke 8 THE OPENING VERSES show the thorough and systematic way in which the Lord Jesus evangelized the cities and villages. He announced the kingdom of God, which involves God’s authority being established and man’s salvation secured through judgment. It was too early as yet for the Gospel of 1Co 15.1-15.4 to be preached, though, now that we have that Gospel, we can still preach the kingdom of God in its present form. The twelve were with Him, and being trained under His eye. The other Gospels... read more

Teaching in Parables. Women minister unto Christ: v. 1. And it came to pass afterward that He went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the Twelve were with Him, v. 2. and certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, v. 3. and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto Him of their substance.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 8:4-8

The parable of the fourfold soil: v. 4. And when much people were gathered together and were come to Him out of every city, He spake by a parable: v. 5. A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. v. 6. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. v. 7. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. v. ... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 8:9-15

The explanation of the parable: v. 9. And His disciples asked Him, saying, What might this parable be? v. 10. And He said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to others in parables, that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. v. 11. Wow the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God, v. 12. Those by the wayside are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the Word out of their hearts, lest they should believe... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 8:2-3

Luke THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN Luk_8:2 - Luk_8:3 . The Evangelist Luke has preserved for us several incidents in our Lord’s life in which women play a prominent part. It would not, I think, be difficult to bring that fact into connection with the main characteristics of his Gospel, but at all events it is worth observing that we owe to him those details, and the fact that the service of these grateful women was permanent during the whole of our Lord’s wandering life after His leaving Galilee.... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 8:4-13

Luke ONE SEED AND DIVERSE SOILS Luk_8:4 - Luk_8:16 . Luke is particular in dating this parable as spoken at a time when crowds resorted to Jesus, and the cities of Galilee seemed emptied out to hear Him. No illusions as to the depth or worth of this excitement beset Him. Sadly He looked on the eager multitudes, because He looked through them, and saw how few of them were bringing ‘an honest and good heart’ for the soil of His word. Just because He saw the shallowness of the momentary... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 8:1-15

Various Hearers of the Word of God Luke 8:1-15 Hitherto our Lord had made Capernaum His center; now He started on a circuit through the province of Galilee, going through its cities and villages in a systematic and leisurely manner. It must have been a great opportunity for the instruction of the Twelve in His doctrine and methods. The parable of the sower was suggested by the scenery before the speaker. There is an advance in the stages of reception and growth, indicating the several phases... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 8:1-56

Luke here refers to our Lord's journeyings, and reveals the interesting and beautiful fact of how women of wealth provided for him on the material level, ministering to Him of their substance. At this point Luke records the parable of the sower, which forever divides into four sections those who hear the proclamation of the Word: first, those in whom His truth can produce no results, wayside hearers; second, those whose power of hearing is superficial, rock hearers; third, those in whom other... read more
