Luke 5:36 ESV

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 5:33-39

Luke 5:33-Malachi : . The Question of Fasting ( Mark 2:18-Song of Solomon : *, Matthew 9:14-Esther : *).— Lk.’ s interest in prayer is again ( cf. Luke 5:16) seen in Luke 5:33, with which cf. Luke 11:1. The recasting of the saying about the patch ( Luke 5:36) reflects a later age; Christianity was now a made-up garment, when Jesus spoke it was only in the piece. Luke 5:39 . Lk. only. If it was spoken on this occasion it means that John’ s disciples may rightly continue their own... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 5:33-39

We have also both in Matthew and Mark met with this piece of history. See Poole on "Matthew 9:14", and following verses to Matthew 9:17; See Poole on "Mark 2:18", and following verses to Mark 2:22. Both Matthew and Mark say, that they were the disciples of John who came, and thus said to our Saviour. In our notes upon the two former evangelists, we have fully opened this piece of history. John the Baptist was of a more severe deportment than our Saviour thought fit to show himself; and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 5:33-39

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 5:33.—St. Luke here omits the remarkable fact, noted by St. Matthew and St. Mark, that disciples of John the Baptist joined with disciples of the Pharisees in putting this question. Fast often, etc.—I.e. follow the ascetical example of their master. Make prayers.—Rather, “make supplications” (R.V.).Luke 5:34. Children of the bride-chamber.—The groomsmen or friends of the bridegroom: they accompanied him to the house of the bride, and escorted the newly married pair to their... read more

DISCOURSE: 1492THE NEW WINE AND OLD BOTTLESLuke 5:36-38. And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.THE cavils of objectors have been... 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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 5:1-39

Luke 5:3 . He sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Here he used those beautiful parables, in Matthew 13:0.; but Matthew’s gospel being extant, St. Luke does not repeat the parables in this place. Luke 5:5 . Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing. The obedience of Peter is the point which arrests attention, and in a case where success was improbable. How much he shames those christians who boast of faith and love to Christ, but lifting up the little... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 5:33-38

Luke 5:33-38No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an oldThe patched garmentWe appreciate easily the offensiveness of what is incongruous.It is fatal alike to beauty, to symmetry, and to effectiveness. A sparrow is not as beautiful as a bird of Paradise, yet the little brown bird is a pleasant sight. Try to fasten upon him the gorgeous plumage of the other bird, and you make him ridiculous at once. His beauty consists in being simply himself. An inferior thing that is constant to its own... read more

And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.He spake also a parable — Taken from clothes and wine; therefore peculiarly proper at a feast. read more
