F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 11:27-32

“The Sign of Jonah” Luke 11:27-32 What a tribute this woman paid our Lord! He was full of grace as well as truth; and those who, with unbiased and unprejudiced minds, saw Him moving among men, were constrained to confess His inimitable beauty. Notice that the simplest soul that hears and obeys God’s Word is equally beatified with His mother, Luke 11:28 . Men will be judged by the opportunities they have had. Every age and every race and every individual on which the sun has ever shone has... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 11:1-54

Watching the Master at prayer, His disciples were inspired with a desire to pray, and requested that they be taught. He responded to them in a fourfold statement. First, He gave them a model. Then He revealed the character of God as He contrasted it with that of the unjust judge. He then gave them the franchise of prayer in the words, "Ask, seek, knock"; and finally revealed the ground of confidence as it existed in the Fatherhood of God. His casting out of a demon raised criticism by some,... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 11:29

ASKING FOR A SIGN‘This is an evil generation: they seek a sign.’ Luke 11:29 We see here the desperate unbelief of the Jews in our Lord’s time. We are told that though they ‘gathered thick together’ to hear Christ preach, they still professed to be waiting for a sign. They pretended to want more evidence before they believed. I. Unbelief in this world.—Our Lord declares that the Queen of Sheba and the men of Nineveh would put the Jews to shame at the last day. The Queen of Sheba had such faith... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-54

Jesus Sets His Face Towards Jerusalem Followed By Centring on the Lord’s Prayer For The Evangelisation of the World (9:51-11:54). This section commences with Jesus setting His face towards Jerusalem because the time for Him to be received up (as mentioned in Luke 9:22; Luke 9:31; Luke 9:44) is approaching, and it centres around the Lord’s Prayer for the evangelisation of the world (Luke 11:1-4) which is exemplified throughout. This is apparent from an analysis: a ‘And it came about when the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:29

‘And when the crowds were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. And there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah.” ’ We are not told what initially prompted these words before the gathering crowds, probably a further request for a sign. But Luke does not mention it again for it has already been mentioned in Luke 11:16 (in a context where a comprehensive sign is given). Jesus was constantly being pressed to give... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:29-32

Jesus Condemnation Of Those Who Seek Signs (11:29-32). The passage now takes up the reference to those who sought a sign in Luke 11:16, and within the chiastic analysis of the whole Section parallels the woes on the evangelised cities that have rejected Jesus’ message in Luke 10:12-15. The basic lesson is that because a greater Wisdom Teacher and Prophet is here as contrasted with Solomon and Jonah, those who hear Jesus and seek signs because of unbelief will in the Judgment suffer under the... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 11:29-32

See Poole on "Matthew 12:38", and following verses to Matthew 12:42. Matthew saith, they were the Pharisees that came to him, desiring to see a sign from heaven: they did the same again, Matthew 16:1. Christ was very ready to work miracles to encourage and confirm his hearers’ faith, but not to satisfy unbelievers’ curiosity. Instead therefore of showing them signs from heaven, he denounces the just judgment of God against them, for their not believing in him. See further the notes upon the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 11:14-36

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 11:14. Casting out a devil.—There seems to be little doubt that this miracle is the same as that in Matthew 12:22, as wrought apparently in Galilee. In St. Matthew’s Gospel there is, however, no precise mention of time or place. It is quite hopeless to attempt to fix the exact order in which the events occurred. Dumb.—And blind (Matthew 12:22).Luke 11:15. Some of them.—“Pharisees” (Matthew 12:24), “scribes which came from Jerusalem” (Mark 3:22). Beelzebub.—The form of the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 11:1-54

Tonight, chapter 11 in the gospel according to Luke.Again, as Luke is pointing out the human side of Jesus, though He was God, He became man. He is the God-man. He is divine, and yet, He is human. The perfect balance. And whereas John points out the divinity of Christ in his gospel, which we will be entering into next, Luke points out the humanity of Jesus. And because this is the special emphasis of Luke, he does record more than any of the other gospel writers concerning the prayer life of... read more
