luke-18:12

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 18:1-99

Luke 18 IN SPEAKING THE parable, with which this chapter opens, the Lord was continuing the same line of thought, as is shown by His application of the parable in verses Luk_18:7 and 8. When the kingdom arrives it will mean judgment for the evil-doers, but the days just before its arrival will mean tribulation for saints. Their resource will be prayer. Even an unjust judge will be moved to right the wrongs of a widow, if she is sufficiently importunate; so the saint may continue waiting upon... read more

The Pharisee and the Publican. The Pharisee: v. 9. And He spake this parable unto certain which trusted themselves that they were righteous and despised others: v. 10. Two men went up into the Temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a publican. v. 11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank Thee that I am not I other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. v. 12. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.... read more

4. The Pharisee and the Publican (Luke 18:9-14)9And he spake this parable unto certain [men] which trusted in themselves that theywere righteous, and despised others: 10Two men went up into the temple to pray; theone a Pharisee, and the other a publican [taxgatherer]. 11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [the rest of12men] are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican [taxgatherer]. Ifast twice in the week, I give... read more

Luke THREE KINDS OF PRAYING Luk_18:1 - Luk_18:14 . The two parables in this passage are each prefaced by Luke’s explanation of their purpose. They are also connected by being both concerned with aspects of prayer. But the second was apparently not spoken at the same time as the first, but is put here by Luke as in an appropriate place. I. The wearisome widow and the unrighteous judge. The similarities and dissimilarities between this parable and that in Luk_11:5 - Luk_11:8 are equally... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 18:9-17

Those Whom God Accepts Luke 18:9-17 We are taught here the spirit in which we should pray. Too many pray “with themselves.” The only time that we may thank God for not being as others is when we attribute the contrast to His grace, 1 Timothy 1:12-14 . Let it never be forgotten that those who will be justified and stand accepted before God are they who are nothing in their own estimate. To be self-emptied and poor in spirit is the fundamental and indispensable preparation for receiving the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 18:1-43

Two parables on prayer are here given. The first insists on its necessity as an alternative to fainting. The second reveals the secrets of prevailing prayer, namely, humility and a deep sense of need. The comparison of the two prayers offered in the Temple precincts will show in the case of the Pharisee a sense of self which almost excluded the consciousness of God, while in the case of the publican the supreme sense was of God. The fist was rejected. The other was justified. It is... read more

Men Must Live In The Light Of The Coming Of The Son of Man In His Glory (15:1-19:28). Having established in Section 1 that Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the city of David where He was proclaimed ‘Saviour’ and ‘Lord Messiah’; and in Section 2 that as ‘the Son of God’ Jesus had faced His temptations as to what His Messiahship would involve and defeated the Tempter; and that in Section 3 He had proclaimed in parables the secrets of ‘the Kingly Rule of God’; and had in Section 4 taught His... read more

The Parable Of The One Who Trusted In Himself That He Was Supremely Acceptable to God, And Was Not, And The One Who Was Doubtful About His Acceptability With God Who Was Made Fully Acceptable (18:9-14). The parable that we have just considered demonstrated how God’s people were to await the coming of the Son of Man in glory in continual prayer. In the parable that follows we will learn how to distinguish between those who will in that Day be taken, and those who will be left, those who are... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 18:12

“I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I get.” It was customary among the Pharisees to tithe even the smallest thing that they received ‘from God’, even when it was not required by the Law (Luke 11:42; Matthew 23:23). Furthermore they fasted every Monday and Thursday, as well as on special days. The purpose of this latter was in order to make them humble, but always the danger was, as in this example, that it could make them inordinately proud (compare Matthew 6:1; Matthew... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 18:9-14

Luke 18:9-2 Chronicles : . Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican (Lk. only).— In Luke 18:9 we should perhaps translate “ concerning those who trusted,” etc. The parable, not necessarily spoken on the same occasion as the preceding one, also deals with Prayer, though with its spirit rather than its subject. When ye pray, think not so much of the sins of others as of your own. The Pharisee draws a rigid line between himself (and his class) and “ the rest of men” ; they are outside the pale.... read more
