Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 12:4-5

See Poole on "Matthew 10:28", where we met with the same. In Luke 12:5-13 our Saviour arms his disciples to encounter those storms of persecution which he knew they would meet with after he should be taken up into heaven. Here are two arguments in this verse: 1. The one drawn from the impotency, or limited power, of the most malicious enemies; they can kill the body, but can do no more. 2. From the mighty power of God, who can cast us into hell. Matthew saith, who can cast body and soul into... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 12:6-7

See Poole on "Matthew 10:29", and following verses to Matthew 10:31. Our Saviour’s third argument is brought from the providence of God, both his general providence, upholding the beings of all his creatures, so that he forgetteth not a sparrow, though a creature of so minute a value, that two of them are sold for a farthing, as Matthew saith, or five for two farthings, as Luke saith; yea, he so remembereth them, that one of them falls not to the ground without his knowledge and leave, saith... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 12:1-12

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 12:1. An innumerable multitude of people.—“The many thousands of the multitude” (R.V.); lit. “the myriads of the multitude.” The discourse in this chapter is evidently in continuation of what has just been recorded: the cardinal sin of the Pharisees is dealt with, and freedom of speech is commended, in spite of the dangers which it provoked. Unto His disciples first of all.—Opinion is about equally divided as to whether the words should be thus rendered, or “say unto His... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 12:6-7

Luke 12:6-7 These words occur in a discourse of the Lord to His disciples, in which He is instructing and preparing them for their future work as the heralds and preachers of His kingdom. He tells them that He has no esoteric doctrine to be cherished by a favoured few, but on the contrary, doctrines of light to be proclaimed everywhere for the healing and salvation of men. "In preaching My words to men," He says, "you will meet with dangers not a few, with enemies, some of whom will not stop... read more

DISCOURSE: 1525GOD TO BE FEARED, BUT NOT MANLuke 12:4-5. I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.AN undue regard to the good opinion of mankind operates to the production of two apparently opposite effects, namely, a hypocritical assumption of the religious character, and a cowardly... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 12:1-59

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Luke's gospel, chapter 12.We are dealing with the final month in the ministry of Jesus. He has returned to Jerusalem. He will soon be leaving Jerusalem to go down to the area of the Jordan River beyond Jericho. Where He will sort of absent Himself from the authorities, until such a time as He comes back for the feast of the Passover, and makes His triumphant entry on the Sunday before the feast of the Passover. So just where, here in Luke's account, does Jesus... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 12:1-59

Luke 12:1 . There were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people. The Greek is myriads, or ten thousands of people. Luke 12:5 . Power to cast into hell. The Greek is Gehenna, as on Isaiah 30:33. Matthew 5:22. Luke 12:6 . Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, two assarions. The assarion was the tenth of a denarion. A farthing, that is, the fourth of a penny, though correct in English, is quite erroneous when applied to the denarion, as in the Greek. Matthew 22:19.... read more

Luke 12:4-5Be not afraid of them that kill the bodyThe fear of GodI.WHAT IS THAT FEAR OF GOD WHICH THE FRIENDS AND DISCIPLES OF CHRIST ARE EXPECTED TO CHERISH? 1. We are sure that this fear is not, as some would have us believe, inconsistent with the enjoyment of the hopes and consolations of the gospel. 2. This fear blends itself with the other emotions of our mind, and gives a chastened character to them all. (1) Solemnity to our prayers. (2) Sobriety to our hopes. (3) Consistency to our... read more
