Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:12-49

C. Jesus’ teaching of His disciples 6:12-49Luke gave his readers an overview of Jesus’ ministry (Luke 4:14 to Luke 5:11) and then presented His relationship to His opponents (Luke 5:12 to Luke 6:11). Next he described Jesus’ relationship with His disciples (Luke 6:12-49). He arranged his material to identify the disciples first, and then he summarized what Jesus taught them.There is some similarity between Luke’s narrative and the account of Moses ascending Mt. Sinai when he received the law... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:13-16

Jesus selected the Twelve from the larger group of learners who followed Him around (cf. Matthew 10:2-4; Acts 1:13). Only Luke mentioned that Jesus called the Twelve "apostles" (lit. sent ones). Luke used this term six times in this Gospel (Luke 6:13; Luke 9:10; Luke 11:49; Luke 17:5; Luke 22:14; Luke 24:10) and 28 times in Acts. Each of the other Evangelists only used it once. This fact reflects his continuing interest in the mission that Jesus began and continued through these apostles and... read more

Choice of the Twelve. Sermon in the Plain1-5. Plucking the ears of corn (Matthew 12:1; Mark 2:23). See on Mt and Mk.1. On the second sabbath after the first] Gk. deuteroprôton, lit. ’second-first.’ There is considerable ground for omitting this obscure expression as interpolated, and reading simply, ’on a sabbath,’ with the RV. If, however, it is genuine, it probably means, ’on the second sabbath after the waving of the sheaf on the second day of the Passover festival’ (see Leviticus 23:1-15).... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 6:13

(13) And when it was day.—In the place which he assigns to the choice of the Twelve, St. Luke agrees more closely with St. Mark than with St. Matthew, who makes it precede the narratives of the disciples plucking the ears of corn, and the healing of the withered hand, which here it follows. A precisely-harmonised arrangement seems here impossible, and is, happily, unimportant. We must be content to admit the possibility, whether accidental or intentional, of one or other of the Gospels,... read more

(14-16) Simon, (whom he also named Peter).—For the list of the Twelve Apostles see Notes on Matthew 10:2.The only special points in St. Luke’s list are (1) that he gives Simon Zelotes, obviously as a translation, for Simon the Cananite, or Cananæan, of the other two lists, and gives James’s Judas, leaving it uncertain whether he means that the latter was son or brother of the former. His use of the same formula in the genealogy of Luke 3:0 is in favour of the former relationship. read more

Luke 6:8 Of Zelter, as architect and musician, Goethe once remarked that 'as soon as he enters a city, the buildings stand before him, and tell him their merits and their faults. Then the musical societies receive him at once, and show themselves to the master with their virtues and their defects.' Luke 6:10 After some time I went to a meeting at Arne-side, where Richard Myer was, who had been long lame of one of his arms. I was moved of the Lord to say unto him, amongst all the people, 'Stand... read more

lete_me Luke 18:1-14Chapter 11CONCERNING PRAYER.WHEN the Greeks called man ό ανθρωπος, or the "uplooking one," they did but crystallize in a word what is a universal fact, the religious instinct of humanity. Everywhere, and through all times, man has felt, as by a sort of intuition, that earth was no Ultima Thule, with nothing beyond but oceans of vacancy and silence, but that it lay in the over-shadow of other worlds, between which and their own were subtle modes of correspondence. They felt... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:1-49

LORD OF THE SABBATH (vs.1-11) "The second Sabbath after the first" is literally translated the "second-first Sabbath" (JND trans.), an unusual expression. The first Sabbath was that following the Passover, and the firstfruits of the produce of the field were offered the next day, the first day of the week, typical of the resurrection of Christ. Therefore the following Sabbath was called "the second-first." Before the firstfruits were offered to God it was not permitted for anyone to eat,... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 6:1-49

TEACHING FORGIVENESS OF SIN (Luke 5:17-26 ) Comparing this with Mark 2:1 , we find it took place in Capernaum, and possibly in the house in which our Lord dwelt (Matthew 9:1 ). What proof it contains of the deity of Christ. JESUS’ EARTHLY MISSION (Luke 5:27-32 ) Levi, as we saw in Mark 2:0 , is Matthew whose faith in following Jesus is more remarkable than that of Peter, for he had more to relinquish. He soon showed his faith further by his works (Luke 5:29 ). But though he made “a great... read more
