Luke 11:24-28

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 11:1-54

Christ's Lessons in Prayer Luke 11:1 The disciples had all prayed many times, and yet they came to Jesus with this request. For they were not satisfied with their praying. Their hearts were full of longings for which they could not find utterance, and the silence in which they dwelt oppressed them. For answer, Jesus began by teaching them how not to pray. It may well be, that with such bad examples of devotion in their synagogues and streets, the very habits of devotion which they had formed... read more

11:24 {6} When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.(6) He that does not continue, but is in a worse case, than he that never began. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-54

Valuable Instruction as to Prayer (vs.1-13) As this chapter opens the Lord Jesus was exemplifying the character of dependent communion with His Father (that character that He commended in Mary). His example awakened the exercise of at least one of His disciples to desire the Lord to them to pray, for the disciples remembered that John the Baptist taught his disciples to pray. The prayer the Lord taught (vs.2-4) corresponds to Matthew 6:9-13 and whether it is the same occasion or not, Luke... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 11:1-54

DOCTRINE OF PRAYER We name this lesson after its chief topic, for as the Scofield Bible says, we have here “the central New Testament passage on prayer.” The disciples’ request (Luke 11:1 ) is answered first by a model prayer (Luke 11:2-4 ), then by a story or parable about prayer (Luke 11:5-10 ), and finally by setting before them the chief object of prayer (Luke 11:11-13 ). The “model” contains fundamental principles of prayer: (1) the right relationship, that of a son to a father; (2) the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 11:1-54

Pious At the Wrong Places Luk 11:42 In other words, you are pious at the wrong places. That is the point. It applies to us all. We think we make up for lack of the right, and complete piety by fussing about a thousand things that are secondary, subordinate, and hardly of any consequence. Thus man writes his poor programme of service. He has his little fads and likings and prejudices, and if you will allow him to cobble away at these he thinks he is about as good as anybody else. When men work... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 11:14-26

(14) And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. (15) But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of the devils. (16) And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. (17) But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. (18) If Satan also be divided... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 11:27-28

(27) And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. (28) But he said, Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. There is somewhat very singular in this relation. A certain woman of the company. What company? Not of the company of them who charged Christ with casting out devils through Beelzebub. Probably of the people that,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 11:24

Man, &c. By this one man is meant the whole Jewish people, out of whom the unclean spirit had been driven by the law. (St. Ambrose) --- For as long as they were in Egypt, they lived after the manner of the Egyptians, and were the habitation of the unclean spirit; but it was expelled from them, when they slew the paschal lamb in figure of Christ, and escaped destruction by sprinkling themselves with its blood. (St. Cyril in St. Thomas Aquinas) --- But the evil spirit returned to his former... read more
