Luke 9:17

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 9:10-17

c. The Miracle Of The Loaves (Luke 9:10-17)10And the apostles when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.3 11And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. 12And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him4, Send the multitude away, that they... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 9:12-17

Luke BREAD FROM HEAVEN Luk_9:10 - Luk_9:17 . The Apostles needed rest after their trial trip as evangelists. John the Baptist’s death had just been told to Christ. The Passover was at hand, and many pilgrims were on the march. Prudence and care for His followers as well as Himself suggested a brief retirement, and our Lord sought it at the Eastern Bethsaida, a couple of miles up the Jordan from its point of entrance to the lake. Matthew and Mark tell us that He went by boat, which Luke does... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 9:11-17

“Give Ye Them to Eat” Luke 9:11-17 Christ feeds the world by His Church. The disciples passed the bread from His hands to those of the hungry crowds. What an honor that though we are least of saints we should have this opportunity of co-operation! But how often are we prepared for our work by being compelled to study the inadequacy of our resources. The only thing for us to do is to place them at His disposal. But the bread of life is sufficient for all mankind. “They… were all filled.”... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 9:1-62

As He sent His apostles out, He gave them power and authority. They went forth without any provision for the journey other than the things of spiritual equipment. Rumors of the ministry and power they exercised reached Herod, and he was filled with fear. The apostles returned from their fist mission, and our Lord took them to Bethsaida, where He performed the wonder of feeding the crowd. In a remarkable way, that feeding is a parabolic illustration of the method by which those who serve Him... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:1-36

3). Jesus is Revealed As The Messiah Who Has Come With Power (8:19-9:36). In this third part of Section 3 Jesus is Revealed as the glorious Messiah Who has come with power but will be involved in suffering and death (Luke 8:19 to Luke 9:36). It may be analysed as follows: a He no longer owns responsibility to His own family who do not believe in Him, and are on the outside (His own do not recognise Him) (Luke 8:19-21). b He is revealed as the One Who is from above by quelling the storm,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:12-17

Jesus Feeds The Seeking Crowds (9:12-17). The wider nature of Jesus’ mission having been revealed by the sending out of the Apostles to preach, Jesus now demonstrates to the Apostles their further responsibility. In the light of the establishment of a new covenant community they are to ‘feed’ the people. Thus He arranges for the miraculous provision of food in a similar way to Elisha before Him (2 Kings 4:42-44). But it is necessarily here in greater abundance, for He is the greater than... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:17

‘And they ate, and were all filled. And there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.’ And the result was that from those five loaves and two fishes that great crowd was fed, with twelve basketfuls remaining over and to spare. The ‘twelve’ indicated continued sufficiency for the new Israel. We may compare the jar of meal and the cruse of oil in the time of Elijah, ‘the jar of meal shall not be spent and the cruse of oil shall not fail until the day the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:10-17

Luke 9:10-Esther : . The Feeding of the Multitude ( Mark 6:31-Acts : *, Matthew 14:13-Ecclesiastes : *).— Lk., like Mt., abbreviates Mk He fixes the scene at Bethsaida; in Mk. Jesus crosses the lake to that town afterwards, but perhaps Mk. is wrong and means Capernaum.Lk. omits the walking of Jesus on the water, and other material found in Mark 6:45 to Mark 8:26, e.g. ( a) the feeding of the 4000, ( b) the debate on the washing of hands and the traditions of the elders, and ( c) the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 9:12-17

The history of this miracle is recorded by all the four evangelists. See Poole on "Matthew 14:15", and following verses to Matthew 14:22, and See Poole on "Mark 6:35", and following verses to Mark 6:44. We shall again meet with it, John 6:5-14, with some further circumstances. Luke hath nothing but what we have before met with. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 9:10-17

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 9:10. Went aside privately.—The reason of this retirement is stated by St. Matthew (Matthew 14:13) to have been Christ’s hearing of the violent death of John the Baptist. It was a precautionary measure, rendered all the more necessary by Herod’s desire to see Jesus. St. Mark says that it was for the sake of quiet (Luke 6:31)—as the excitement produced by the teaching of Jesus and His apostles was very great. There is no necessary discrepancy in the narratives: the retirement... read more
