Luke 20:41

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:1-47

AUTHORITY:FROM HEAVEN OR OF MEN? (vs.1-8) The chief priests and scribes used every means they could to discredit the Lord Jesus among the people. While He was teaching and preaching in the temple, they planned a determined attack to challenge His right to do as He did. What authority did He have for teaching a preaching in the temple, and who gave Him this authority? Their thoughts were earthbound, for they thought of no authority but that of man, and this was the very snare that trapped... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 20:1-47

LAST TEACHING IN JERUSALEM The facts of this lesson are: (1) the challenge of the chief priests and scribes as to the authority of Jesus which, as we saw in Matthew 21:0 , was equivalent to their formal rejection of Him who had just entered their city as the Messiah in fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecy; (2) the parable of the vineyard which, as we saw in the same place, was equivalent to His formal rejection of the nation; (3) the questionings of the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 20:1-47

Jesus Taunted Luke 20:0 "And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel " not an exceptional work, but on a particular and memorable day. This was the circle within which Jesus Christ moved namely, he taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel. A familiar word to us is the word "gospel," but not a familiar word in the four evangelists. Does Mark ever use it? Does John ever use it? Is it ever used in the Gospel... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 20:41-47

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:39-47

39-47 The scribes commended the reply Christ made to the Sadducees about the resurrection, but they were silenced by a question concerning the Messiah. Christ, as God, was David's Lord; but Christ, as man, was David's son. The scribes would receive the severest judgement for defrauding the poor widows, and for their abuse of religion, particularly of prayer, which they used as a pretence for carrying on worldly and wicked plans. Dissembled piety is double sin. Then let us beg of God to keep us... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 20:1-99

Luke 20 YET IN THE precincts of the temple the Lord taught daily during this last week of His life, so it is not surprising that He came into conflict with them. The whole of this chapter is occupied with details of the conflict. The chief priest and scribes began the conflict, and at the end they were left silenced and unmasked. They started by challenging His authority. They were the people in authority there, and to them He was but an upstart “Prophet” from Nazareth. Their question assumed... read more

The counter-question of Jesus: v. 39. Then certain of the scribes, answering, said, Master, Thou hast well said. v. 40. And after that they durst not ask Him any question at all. v. 41. And He said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's Son? v. 42. And David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, v. 43. till I make Thine enemies Thy footstool. v. 44. David therefore calleth Him Lord, how is He, then, his Son? The answer of... read more

And [yet] David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 43Till I make thine enemies thy footstool [lit., Till I place thine enemies as a footstool in thy feet]. 44David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then [and how is he] his... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 20:41-47

David’s Lord Testing Men and Women Luke 20:41-47 ; Luke 21:1-4 It was the Master’s turn to question. As man, He was David’s descendant and son; as the Son of God, He was his Lord. Though it sealed His doom, our Lord tore the veil from before these hypocrites, that when He had passed, His followers might be warned against these sunken rocks, Jude 1:12 . We note the difference between the false teachers, who devoured widows’ houses, and the true Leader and Teacher, who set so high a value on... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 20:1-47

This chapter records the remarkable happenings gathered around our Lord's entrance into the Temple. By a parable He revealed the awful sin and failure of the Hebrew nation, culminating in His own rejection, showing, moreover, that that sin must result ultimately in the breaking into pieces of the sinning people. The closing conflicts between the rulers and Jesus constitute the saddest revelation of the depravity of the human heart. Jesus' teaching had driven them into a comer from which there... read more
