Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:49

And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.All his acquaintance ... is a reference to the multitudes from all over Palestine, and to the numbers of them who were personally acquainted with Jesus through having seen his mighty deeds and heard his discourses. Only malice can read this as a reference to "the apostles," and then allege that Luke contradicted Mark who said that they all "forsook him and fled" (Mark 14:50). read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 23:49

Luke 23:49. And all his acquaintance, and the women, &c.— Who these acquaintance were, we learn from Matthew 27:55; Mat 27:66 and Mark 15:40. The three evangelists agree in affirming that these women stood afar off; yet this is not inconsistent with Joh 19:25 where our Lord's mother, andher sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene, are said to have stood beside the cross. They were kept at a distance awhile, perhaps by the guards, or they were afraid to approach; but when the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 23:26-49

F. The crucifixion of Jesus 23:26-49Luke’s account of the crucifixion includes a prophecy of the fate of Jerusalem (Luke 23:29-31), more emphasis on the men who experienced crucifixion with Jesus (Luke 23:39-43), and less stress on the crowd that mocked Jesus. It climaxes with Jesus’ final prayer of trust in His Father (Luke 23:46) and the reactions of various people to His death (Luke 23:47-49)."In this version of the story we may see an accent on the way in which Jesus died as a martyr,... read more

2. Jesus’ death 23:33-49The parts of this section of Luke’s Gospel that are unique are Jesus’ prayer for His enemies (Luke 23:34), the dialogue with the criminals (Luke 23:39-43), and Jesus’ prayer of self-sacrifice to the Father (Luke 23:46). Thus Luke presented Jesus as the forgiving Savior even in His death. read more

Jesus’ self-sacrifice to God 23:44-49 (cf. Matthew 27:45-56; Mark 15:33-41; John 19:28-30)Luke included three things in this heart of the death scene. He gave two evidences of God’s displeasure with people for rejecting His Son, he recorded Jesus’ prayer of trust in the Father, and he noted three immediate reactions to Jesus’ death. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 23:47-49

The centurion who was responsible for carrying out the crucifixion added his testimony to the others who recognized Jesus’ innocence. His witness constituted praise of God because it harmonized with God’s assessment of His Son. Praising God is a reaction to God’s power and mercy that Luke often noted in this Gospel (Luke 2:20; et al.). The reaction of the general public (Gr. ochloi, a mixed group) was to smite their breasts with their hands in typical ancient Near Eastern fashion. This... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:1-56

Trial Before Pilate and Herod. The Crucifixion and Burial1-5. The trial before Pilate begins (Matthew 27:1-2, Matthew 27:11-14; Mark 15:1-5; John 18:28-38). See on Mt and Jn.6-12. Trial before Herod (peculiar to Lk). ’By sending Jesus to Herod the clever Roman gained two ends at once. First, he got rid of the business which was imposed on him, and then he took the first step towards a reconciliation with Herod (Luke 23:12). The cause of their quarrel had probably been some conflict of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 23:47-49

(47-49) Now when the centurion saw what was done . . .—See Notes on Matthew 27:54-55; Mark 15:40-41. The phrase “glorified God” is, as has been noticed already (Luke 5:25), specially characteristic of St. Luke. The substitution of “this was a righteous man,” for “this was the Son of God,” may, perhaps, have originated in a wish to express the exact measure, and not more, of the sense in which the centurion had used the seemingly higher words. read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 23:49

(49) All his acquaintance.—This is the only passage in which the word is used. St. Luke apparently employs it as intermediate between the spectators and the avowed disciples. Such may have been Simon, or Lazarus, of Bethany, or the rulers who believed yet did hot confess, or the owners of the ass and of the colt, or the proprietor of the house in which the Passover had been eaten.The women that had followed him from Galilee.—St. Luke does not name them as St. Matthew and St. Mark do, probably... read more
