2. The first Excursion from Capernaum to the surrounding Districts. The Son of Man the Physician of the Sick, the Friend of Publicans, the Lord of the Sabbath, the Lawgiver in the Kingdom of GodChs. Luke 5:12 to Luke 6:49a.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 5:12-26

Cleansing, Power and Pardon Luke 5:12-26 Jesus did not hesitate to touch the leper, because He could no more be polluted by uncleanness than could a ray of light by passing through a fetid atmosphere. The question is never in can or will, as applied to Christ, but whether we will trust Him and can believe. The Mosaic offering was a pair of birds, one of which was killed over running water; while the other, having been dipped into this mingled blood and water, was freed to fly away in its... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 5:1-39

Four of Jesus' disciples, already called into the relation of discipleship, are here called more definitely to service. Taking command of their vessel, to which in all probability they had returned without warrant, they found Him able to direct them in an earthly calling, and by so doing lifting them to the position from where henceforth, they would catch men. The coming of the leper revealed an advance beyond the common crowd in his attitude toward Jesus. The leper believed in Jesus' power... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 5:12-16

The Cleansing of A Skin Diseased Man (5:12-16). The cleansing of a skin diseased man by touching him is something that would have affected the ancient mind like little else. It indicated a mastery over disease and uncleanness that was unique. Skin disease was held in horror by all, and skin diseased men and women were to be avoided. They were expected to avoid human company, except for their own kind, and to call ‘unclean, unclean’ so as to warn people to keep away from them (Leviticus... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 5:13

‘And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I will, be you made clean.” And immediately the skin disease left him.’ . But Jesus had come in order to help those whom other people found disgusting, and to the man’s total surprise, He reached out His hand and touched him. It was the first time he had been touched for a long time, and the last thing that he had expected. Men normally turned away from him with a shudder. For to touch a skin diseased man like himself was for the person... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 5:12-16

Luke 5:12-Nehemiah : . The Healing of a Leper ( Mark 1:40-Romans : *, Matthew 8:1-Numbers : *).— Lk. keeps closely to Mk., but adds ( Luke 5:16) that Jesus in His retirement gave Himself to prayer. It is characteristic of him also to speak of Jesus simply as “ he” ; perhaps the disciples did so ( cf. 1 John 3:3; 1 John 3:5), as was the case with the followers of Socrates and Pythagoras. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 5:12-15

See Poole on "Matthew 8:2", and verses following to Matthew 8:5. See Poole on "Mark 1:40", and verses following to Mark 1:45. Matthew reports this miracle done when Christ came down from the mountain, and immediately after saith, that he entered into Capernaum, Matthew 8:5. Mark also, concluding the first chapter with this piece of history, he begins the second with telling us, that he entered into Capernaum after some days. So that some think he was near Capernaum, within the bounds of it,... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 5:12-16

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 5:12.—St. Matthew gives a distinct note of time and place when and where this miracle was wrought: it was after the Sermon on the Mount, and as Jesus came down from the mount, that the leper met him. Full of leprosy.—A term of medical accuracy describing the severity of the disease. The leprosy had spread over his whole body, but not in the manner described in Leviticus 13:13, for he was still unclean (Luke 5:14). It is to be specially noticed that when the disease had... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 5:12-13

Luke 5:12-13 (with Luke 5:20 ) I. So long as there is any religion at all in the world it will, of course, busy itself with the eternal question of the difference between right and wrong. It will, in some sense, make itself the champion of right and the enemy of wrong. But then wrongdoing may be very differently regarded, even by religious men. Roughly speaking, it may be regarded as directed either against man or against God; either as an injury or an offence; either as a weakness or a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 5:1-39

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Luke's gospel chapter 5.The popularity of the ministry of Jesus is growing. Word is being spread around of the miracles that are being wrought by Him, and now wherever He goes people are beginning to jostle and shove in order that they might get close to Him. It made it difficult for Jesus to travel to get around because of the multitudes that, according to Mark's gospel, at this point were thronging Him wherever He went.And so here in Luke's gospel,It came to... read more
