Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 12:1-12

We find here, I. A vast auditory that was got together to hear Christ preach. The scribes and Pharisees sought to accuse him, and do him mischief; but the people, who were not under the bias of their prejudices and jealousies, still admired him, attended on him, and did him honour. In the mean time (Luke 12:1), while he was in the Pharisee's house, contending with them that sought to ensnare him, the people got together for an afternoon sermon, a sermon after dinner, after dinner with a... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 12:13-21

We have in these verses, I. The application that was made to Christ, very unseasonably, by one of his hearers, desiring him to interpose between him and his brother in a matter that concerned the estate of the family (Luke 12:13): ?Master, speak to my brother; speak as a prophet, speak as a king, speak with authority; he is one that will have regard to what thou sayest; speak to him, that he divide the inheritance with me.? Now, 1. Some think that his brother did him wrong, and that he... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 12:1-12

12:1-12 In the meantime, when the people had been gathered together in their thousands, so that they trampled on each other, Jesus began to say first of all to his disciples, "Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. There is nothing covered up which will not be unveiled, and there is nothing secret which shall not be known. All, therefore, that you have spoken in the dark shall be heard in the light; and what you have spoken into someone's ear in the inner... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 12:13-34

12:13-34 One of the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." He said to him, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbitrator over you?" He said to them, "Watch and guard yourself against the spirit which is always wanting more; for even if a man has an abundance his life does not come from his possessions." He spoke a parable to them. "The land," he said, "of a rich man bore good crops. He kept thinking what he would do. 'What will I do,' he said,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:1

In the mean time ,.... While Christ was discoursing with the Pharisees, and they were using him in the vilest manner, throwing out their invectives against him in order to draw off the people from him: when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people . There were "myriads" of them, as in the original text, and a myriad is ten thousand; the meaning is, that there were several thousands of them: insomuch that they trod one upon another ; striving to get near to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:2

For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed ,.... No sin, be it ever so secret or privately done, as nothing is more covered than hypocrisy, but what shall be detected sooner or later; if not in this world, which is often the case, yet the last judgment, and in the world to come: neither hid, that shall not be known ; for how careful soever men may be to hide their vices from others, they are known to God; who will bring every thing into judgment, and make manifest the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:3

Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness ,.... In the most private manner, to one another: shall be heard in the light ; which makes all things manifest, the day shall declare it: and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets ; whispered to persons in their bedchambers, and places of the most secret retirement; shall be proclaimed upon the housetops ; declared in the most public manner: in Matthew 10:27 these words are so expressed, as to carry in them such a sense... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:4

And I say unto you, my friends ,.... Whom he dearly loved, and had taken into the greatest intimacy and familiarity; making known to them whatever he had heard from his Father; giving them the best instructions, the most faithful and friendly advice, and proper precautions; all which, and more, showed them to be his friends, and for whom he after laid down his life: be not afraid of them that kill the body ; though he would have them beware of the Pharisees, he would not have them be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:5

But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear , I will be your monitor, and direct you to the proper object of fear and reverence, and whom you should be careful to displease and offend: fear him, which after he hath killed ; your body, as the Persic version adds; hath taken away the life of it, by separating soul and body asunder, by sending one disease or another, or death in one shape or another: hath power to cast into hell ; your soul, as the above version also adds; yea, to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 12:6

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings ,.... As two were sold for one farthing; see Gill on Matthew 10:29 ; so in buying and selling, where more money is laid out, things are bought cheaper; the Persic version reads, "for two barley corns": and not one of them is forgotten before God ; a single sparrow, a bird of little value and worth, is taken notice and care of by him; it has its life from him, and is provided for with food by him, and is under his protection; nor does he ever... read more
