Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Luke 2:29-30

"Nunc Dimittis" (to Send Away) October 8th, 1871 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: for mine eyes have seen thy salvation." Luke 2:29-30 . Blessed wert you, O Simeon, for flesh and blood had not revealed this unto thee; neither had it enabled thee so cheerfully to bid the world farewell. The flesh clings to the earth it is dust, and owns affluity to the ground out of which it was taken; it loathes to part from mother... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 2:1-52

Now it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And the taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syra.) And all went to be taxed, every one to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, and unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and the lineage of David,) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, who at this point was... read more

Luke 2:1 . It came to pass in those days, when John was born, and when the Roman emperor, Augustus Cæsar, filled the throne, and was in the thirty first year of his reign, that, a decree was issued for a general taxation according to men’s property. This emperor, after the battle of Actium, became so popular, that the senate invited him to take the reins of government into his hands, which laid, properly speaking, the foundation of the imperial monarchy of Rome. Augustus, as a man of... read more

Luke 2:25-35Whose name was SimeonReadiness for God’s will“Some years ago,” says a lady, “I made the acquaintance of an old peasant in a little German village, where I for some time resided.He was called Gottlieb, a name which has the very beautiful signification, ‘The love of God.’ The old man was well worthy of it, for if ever heart was filled with love to God and to all God’s creatures it was his. Once when walking I came upon him as he was stooping to pick up a fallen apple. ‘Don’t you... read more

Luke 2:26And it was revealed unto him by the Holy GhostThe leading of the SpiritObserve that Simeon found Christ in the temple, being conducted thither by the Holy Ghost.There was an ancient promise, “The Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to His Temple,” and this probably drew the holy man to the courts of the Lord. But the Lord might have come, and Simeon might not have been there, or the good old man might have been occupied in some other court of the holy place; but being led of the... read more

Luke 2:27Brought in the Child JesusDedicating children to the LordWhen the Duke of Kent was dying, he desired that the little princess Victoria should be placed beside him, and then he offered a very affecting prayer that “if ever she became the Queen of England, she might rule in the fear of God.” How many of our noble Queen’s virtues and good deeds have resulted doubtless from her godly training I In my first Circuit I knew the excellent family of the late eminent Rev. Benjamin Field. At his... read more

Luke 2:29; Luke 2:31Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peaceNunc DimittisI.Let us start with this great general principle which is full of comfort that EVERY BELIEVER MAY BE ASSURED OF ULTIMATELY DEPARTING IN PEACE. This is no privilege peculiar to Simeon, it is common to all the saints, since the grounds upon which this privilege rests are not monopolised by Simeon, but belong to us all. 1. All the saints have seen God’s salvation, therefore should they all depart in peace. It is... read more

26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. Ver. 26. It was revealed unto him ] By an immediate oracle, κεχρηματισμενον . The idolatrous, heathen made use of this word to signify their impious and diabolical oracles. The abuse of a word taketh not away the use of it. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 2:27

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, Ver. 27. And he came by the spirit, &c. ] So still, "the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord," Psalms 37:23 . He sets his Spirit as tutor, to direct and convince us into all truth Simeon, likely, had done as Daniel did, Luke 9:2 , found out by diligent search, that the fulness of time was come, and is therefore thus answered from heaven. read more
