John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 18:28

Then Peter said ,.... "To him", as the Syriac and Arabic versions add; that is, to the Lord Jesus, as the Ethiopic version expresses it; who was always the most forward to speak on any occasion: he observing what was required of the young man, and how unwilling he was to comply with it, and the difficulty in every rich man's way of entrance into the kingdom of God, spoke as follows; lo, we have left all : the Arabic version reads, "all ours"; all we had, our friends, trades, and worldly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 18:29

And he said unto them ,.... To his disciples, as the Ethiopic version reads; though the Syriac and Persic versions read, "and Jesus said to him"; that is, to Peter; he particularly replied to him: verily I say unto you, there is no man : not only you shall have peculiar honour done you, as to sit on thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel; but there is not a single person of a more private character, that hath left house , or "houses", as read the Syriac and Persic versions; ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 18:30

Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time ,.... Not more houses, parents, brethren, &c.; but that which is abundantly preferable to them; such comfort, peace, satisfaction, and pleasure, as are not to be found in such enjoyments: and in the world to come life everlasting ; which was what the young man was desirous of inheriting, Luke 18:18 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 18:31

Then he took unto him the twelve ,.... His twelve disciples, as the Ethiopic version expresses it; he took them aside from the rest of the company, as they were travelling on the road, and privately delivered to them, what follows; see Matthew 20:17 and said unto them, behold, we go up to Jerusalem ; to the feast of the passover, which was drawing near, and the last Christ was to eat with his disciples, the time of his sufferings, and death, being now at hand; and of which he thought... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 18:32

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles ,.... As he was by the chief priests, Scribes, and elders, to Pilate, the Roman governor, and by him to the soldiers: and shall be mocked ; as he was by the latter, when they crowned him with thorns, arrayed him in a purple robe, and put a reed into his hand, and bowed the knee to him, saying, hail king of the Jews; and likewise by the Jews when he hung upon the cross: and spitefully entreated . The Syriac and Persic versions leave out this... read more

And they shall scourge him ,.... As he was by Pilate's order, before he was crucified: and put him to death ; a shameful, and a painful one, the death of the cross: and the third day he shall rise again ; as he accordingly did. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 18:34

And they understood none of these things ,.... "Not one of them", as the Syriac and Persic versions render it; every article of his sufferings and death were unintelligible by them; they knew not how to understand him in any one point: or how to reconcile these things to the notions they had entertained of the temporal grandeur, and glory, of the Messiah, and his kingdom; and which shows their great ignorance of the prophecies of the Old Testament concerning these things. And this saying ... read more

And it came to pass that as he was come nigh unto Jericho ,.... Which lay in his way to Jerusalem; a certain blind man sat by the way side begging : this was not blind Bartimaeus, nor his companion, for they were cured by Christ as he went out of Jericho; but this man before he came to it; for we afterwards read of his entrance into, and passing through Jericho, Luke 19:1 though much the same things are related in this account, as in that of the other two blind men; See Gill on ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 18:36

And hearing the multitude pass by ,.... Their "voice", as the Syriac version expresses it; the noise of their feet, and especially of their tongues; he asked what it meant ? what was the meaning of this concourse of people, and of this clamorous noise; or, as the Syriac version reads, "who it should be?" what person of note was passing by, that there was such a multitude after him? to which the answer best agrees. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 18:37

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. Some of the company answered him, that Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth, so much talked of, and said to be the Messiah, who was become so famous for his doctrines and miracles, for healing diseases, and dispossessing devils, was just "then" passing by; and this occasioned the noise and clamour. read more
