Luke 12:9-10

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 12:10

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him . And yet even that offense, which consisted in playing the renegade and the coward; which refused to suffer for him here; which, out of slavish fear of man, consented to abandon his pure and righteous cause;— that offense, which would be proclaimed before the angels of heaven, would in the end find forgiveness. Some commentators point, as an illustration of this, to the fact of the dying Lord praying on... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 12:2-9

Nothing covered - See the notes at Matthew 10:26-32.Luke 12:3Shall be proclaimed upon the housetops - See the notes at Matthew 10:27. The custom of making proclamation from the tops or roofs of houses still prevails in the East. Dr. Thomson (“The Land and the Book,” vol. i. p. 51, 52) says: “At the present day, local governors in country districts cause their commands thus to be published. Their proclamations are generally made in the evening, after the people have returned from their labors in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 12:8-9

Luke 12:8-9. Also I say unto you It will be necessary, however, in order that you may keep your minds unshaken, that you should often look forward unto the final judgment, at which I will own you as my servants, if, by your constant and cheerful obedience to my commands, you now acknowledge me as your Master. For whosoever shall confess me before men Shall freely and openly acknowledge himself to be my disciple, and shall conduct himself as such, to whatever dangers and persecutions he... read more

Luke 12:10 . And whosoever, &c. Nothing, therefore, can be more dangerous and fatal than to oppose my cause: and yet the denying me in some degree, may, upon true repentance, be forgiven: for whosoever shall speak a word Expressive of unbelief and disregard, or even of opposition and enmity; against the Son of man In this his present state of humiliation and suffering, he may possibly hereafter repent, and on his repentance his sins may be forgiven him. But unto him that... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 12:4-21

63. Concern about safety and security (Luke 12:4-21)Some teaching that Jesus gave to the twelve apostles is repeated in other parts of the Gospels. This may have been given to the followers of Jesus in general, particularly those instructions and warnings that concerned putting loyalty to Jesus before the desire for personal safety (Luke 12:4-12; see notes on Matthew 10:28-33 above).On one occasion when a crowd was listening to such teaching from Jesus, there was one person who showed no... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:10

And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.II. Warning against blaspheming the Holy Spirit.At the conclusion of the previous writing, Christ instructed that men should confess him, the converse of that being that some would deny him; and it was that habit of Israel's denying God through long ages, and now denying the Christ himself, which prompted the warning here that... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 12:10

Luke 12:10. It shall be forgiven him:— It may be forgiven him: Doddridge; who observes that the common reading of αφεθησεται, is more literal; but the connection shews, it must be taken according to the translation here given; for it would be madness to imagine that in such a case as this, forgiveness must come of course, whether the blasphemer does or does not repent. What grammarians call an enallage of words and tenses, is very frequent in the sacred writings. read more
