F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 12:1-99

Luke 12 INSTEAD OF BEING provoked by the vehement opposition of the scribes and Pharisees, the Lord improved the occasion by calmly instructing His disciples in the presence of the enormous crowd, that the controversy had drawn together. He had just been fuming the searchlight of truth on the religious leaders: He now turned the same light on the disciples and their path. In the first place He warned them against the hypocrisy, which He had just been unmasking in the Pharisees. It is indeed a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 12:22-26

Of Trust in God and Preparation for Christ's Coming. Warnings against care: v. 22. And He said unto His disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life what ye shall eat; neither for the body what ye shall put on. v. 23. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. v. 24. Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? v. 25. And which of... read more

4. For what the Disciple of the Saviour has, and for what he has not, to take care (Luke 12:1-34)1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude [lit., the myriads] of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which Isaiah 2:0 hypocrisy. For [But1] there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, 3that shall not be known. Therefore, whatsoever ye... read more

Luke THE RICH FOOL ANXIOUS ABOUT EARTH, OR EARNEST ABOUT THE KINGDOM Luk_12:22 - Luk_12:31 . The parable of the rich fool was spoken to the multitude, but our Lord now addresses the disciples. ‘Therefore’ connects the following with the foregoing teachings. The warnings against anxiety are another application of the prohibition of laying up treasure for self. Torturing care is the poor man’s form of worldliness, as luxurious self-indulgence is the rich man’s. There are two kinds of gout, as... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 12:22-34

the Cure for Anxious Care Luke 12:22-34 Notice this contrast between two kinds of men: the one cares for himself, is anxious for this life, worries about food and clothes and standing a cubit higher in the estimate of his fellows; the other is content to fill the niche and do the work assigned him by the Father. And he performs his life-task, not for the remuneration it will bring, but for the “well-done” of God-sure that all which is needed, whether for his soul or body, will be provided by... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 12:1-59

Knowing that the enmity of the rulers against Him would proceed also against His disciples, He told them not to be afraid of those who kill the body, remembering ever their Father's care, as revealed in the sparrows, and in the numbering of the hairs of their heads. His address to His disciples was interrupted by one of the multitude. It was an appeal for action in the matter of the distribution of property. Refusing to arbitrate, He uttered the great parable of the rich fool, declaring... read more

Jesus Teaches Concerning Greed, Stewardship and the Need For Fruitfulness Under The Kingly Rule of God Centring on the Fact That He Will Make The Crooked Straight (12:1-14:35). As we have seen we may analyse this next Section from Luke 12:1 to Luke 14:35 into its separate parts as follows: a Instructions to disciples concerning facing up to eternity (Luke 12:1-12). b An example is given of covetousness concerning an inheritance which is followed by the parable of the fool who decided to... read more

Their Attitude Towards Food And Clothing, The Things That Men Seek After ‘And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious for your life (soul), what you shall eat, nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. For the life (soul) is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.” The idea here is not that no one need ever worry about anything, or do any more work, for by that means many have starved. It is that those who come under the Kingly Rule of God should not... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:22-34

His Disciples Should Have Their Minds Set On Heavenly Affairs Not Earthly Affairs (12:22-34). Having made clear His position concerning wealth and its use Jesus now turns to those who have little wealth. They can be just as tied up with wealth as a result of having none and being anxious about it, as can the wealthy. They can be equally ‘distorted’, and they equally needed ‘making straight’. Theirs is a different problem. Where is the next meal coming from? Jesus reply is that once they seek... read more

Luke 22:22-Nahum : . Warning against Worry ( Matthew 6:25-Micah : *, Matthew 6:19-Ecclesiastes : *).— In Mt. the section follows the saying about God and Mammon, with which the parable just given by Lk. has an analogy. Lk. and Mt. agree closely, though Lk. has “ ravens” for “ birds of the heavens” ( Luke 12:24), and “ the rest” ( Luke 12:26) ( i.e. all necessaries other than food) for “ raiment.” Luke 12:32 takes the place of Matthew 6:34, and leads up to Luke 12:33 f. The fear is lest they... read more
