Luke 13:2-5 ESV

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 13:1-35

Luke 13:2-3 Think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. In one day the nay will command a ready assent: but the warning added, and the character with which it stamps such events as foreshadowings of judgment, will not readily be entered into.

13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in {b} Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?(b) That is, in the place, or river: for Siloam was a small river from which the conduits of the city came; see John 9:7 Isaiah 8:6 ; and therefore it was a tower or a castle, built upon the conduit side, which fell down suddenly and killed some. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 13:1-35

REPENT OR PERISH (vs.1-9) This chapter shows that righteousness by itself provides no hope for man, but presses upon us the solemn lesson of repentance. Thus it prepares the way for chapters 14 and 15, for chapter 14 shows man's character in contrast to that of God, yet God remaining a God of grace; while in chapter 15 the heart of God is revealed to man in his lost state, God rejoicing in bringing him back by sovereign grace. The Jews told the Lord of the Galileans who had evidently been... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 13:1-35

JUDGMENT AND PENALTY There is such a close connection between the opening of this chapter and the close of the preceding, that it were better not to have separated them. Jesus had been speaking of judgment and penalty, and now came those to him who put a case or two which seem to illustrate what he said (Luke 13:1-15 ). But they are mistaken, as He teaches them. “Those events had a voice for the living, and concerned not only the dead.” The parable of the barren fig tree is intended to... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 13:1-35

Notes of Christ's Sermons Luke 13:0 Luke undertook to be very minute and exhaustive in his statement of Gospel facts. He was going to do better than many other writers had done. He said so with cool frankness: "Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and ministers of the word; it seemed good to me also" that is a curious... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 13:1-5

(1) There were present at that season, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. (2) And Jesus answering, said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? (3) I tell you, Nay; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (4) Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? (5)... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 13:2

Sinners, &c. People are naturally inclined to believe, that those who are unfortunate, and afflicted with calamities, must likewise be culpable and impious. The Jews were very much given to these sentiments, as we see in many places in Scripture; John ix. 2 and 3. Our Saviour wishes to do away with this prejudice, by telling them that the Galileans, who are here spoken of, were not the most culpable among the inhabitants of that country; shewing by this, that God often spares the most... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 13:3

This prediction of our Saviour upon the impenitent was afterwards completely verified; for Josephus informs us, that under the government of Cumanus, 20,000 of them were destroyed about the temple. (Jewish Antiquities, lib. xx, chap. 4.) That upon the admission of the Idumeans into the city, 8,500 of the high priest's party were slain, insomuch that there was a flood of blood quite round the temple. (The Jewish War, lib. iv, chap. 7.) That in consequence of the threefold faction that happened... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 13:4

Or those eighteen, &c. The Almighty permitted these people to be thus chastised, that the others might be filled with fear and apprehension at the sight of another's dangers, and thus become the heirs of the kingdom of heaven. But then you will say, is another punished that I may become better? No; he is punished for his own crimes; but his punishment becomes to those that witness it the means of salvation.
