Lucas 12:42-58 RVA

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 12:41-53

Here is, I. Peter's question, which he put to Christ upon occasion of the foregoing parable (Luke 12:41): ?Lord, speakest thou this parable to us that are thy constant followers, to us that are ministers, or also to all that come to be taught by thee, to all the hearers, and in them to all Christians?? Peter was now, as often, spokesman for the disciples. We have reason to bless God that there are some such forward men, that have a gift of utterance; let those that are such take heed of being... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 12:54-59

Having given his disciples their lesson in the foregoing verses, here Christ turns to the people, and gives them theirs, Luke 12:54. He said also to the people: he preached ad populum?to the people, as well as ad clerum?to the clergy. In general, he would have them be as wise in the affairs of their souls as they are in their outward affairs. Two things he specifies:? I. Let them learn to discern the way of God towards them, that they may prepare accordingly. They were weather-wise, and by... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 12:35-48

12:35-48 "Let your loins be girt and your lamps burning. Be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that, when he comes and knocks, they will open to him immediately. Happy are those servants whom the master will come and find awake. This is the truth that I tell you--he will gird himself; he will make them recline at table; and he will come and serve them. Happy are they if he finds them so, even if he comes in the second or third watch. Know... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 12:49-53

12:49-53 Jesus said, "I came to cast fire upon the earth. And what do I wish? Would that it were already kindled! There is an experience through which I must pass; and now I am under tension until it is accomplished! Do you think I came to give peace in the earth? Not that, I tell you, but division! From now on in one house there will be five people divided--three against two, and two against three. They will be divided, father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 12:54-59

12:54-59 Jesus said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'Rain is coming.' And so it happens. When you feel the south wind blowing, you say, 'There will be scorching heat.' And so it happens. Hypocrites! you can read the signs of the face of the earth and the sky. How can you not read the signs of this time? Why do you not for yourselves judge what is right? When you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, make an effort to come to an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:42

And the Lord said, who then is that faithful and wise steward ,.... Christ does not directly, and in express words, answer to Peter's question, but suggests, that though he intended it as a caution to all his people, and in it spoke to them all to be upon their watch and guard, Mark 13:37 yet that he had a special regard to them, his apostles, and succeeding ministers of the Gospel, whose characters, office, work, dignity, and honour, are here described. Such are stewards in Christ's... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:43

Blessed is that servant ,.... Who is faithful and wise, rules well, and discharges his trust with integrity, and disposes of the provisions of the house, in his hands, with great discretion and prudence: whom his Lord, when he cometh ; to take vengeance on the wicked Jews, or by death, or at judgment: shall find so doing ; behaving as a good ruler, and as a wise and faithful steward. read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:44

Of a truth I say unto you ,.... This, with Christ, was a strong way of asserting the truth of any thing; and the sense is, you may assure yourselves of it, this will certainly be the happy case of such servant: that he will make him ruler over all that he hath ; as Joseph was made by Pharaoh. Such an one shall reign with Christ on earth a thousand years, and then in heaven with him to all eternity, where he shall enjoy all things; See Gill on Matthew 24:47 read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:45

But and if that servant say in his heart ,.... Not the same servant before spoken of as a wise and faithful steward, that gives to all in the family the portion of meat in due season, and shall be found doing, and be made ruler over his master's goods but another, who also, as he, is made by his Lord ruler over his household, and is in a like post, and in the same office, but is an "evil servant", as Matthew calls him, to distinguish him from the other; and so the Arabic and Ethiopic... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:46

The Lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him ,.... For, not coming as was expected, he gives over looking, and concludes he will not come at all; in which he will find himself mistaken, for he will come in the very day which is appointed, though men know not of it, and do not look for it: and at an hour when he is not aware ; for as neither the day, nor hour of Christ's coming are known to any man, it becomes men to look for it every day and hour, lest it come... read more
