Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 13:25-27

The Parable of The Closed Door (13:25-27). The thought of the failure to enter through the doorway into life now issues in a parable. But there is a change in thought here to a crisis point in the future. The master of the house has risen up and closed the door. And meanwhile there are those who want to enter the house, probably because it will provide shelter from danger (compare Isaiah 26:20-21). This parallels the inability to read the signs of the times and the carrying off of the debtor... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 13:27

“And he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know from where you are. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’ ” And His reply is simply, that He does not know from where they are. They are strangers to Him, for they are workers of iniquity. They have dwelt in places where He would not venture. They have done things that He could not condone. And by their behaviour they have revealed themselves as strangers to Him, as having no part in Him. They are known by their fruits. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 13:22-30

Luke 13:22-Amos : . The Narrow Entrance into Life.— Parallels are found in Matthew 7:13 f., Matthew 25:11 f., Matthew 7:21-Isaiah :; Matthew 8:11 f; Matthew 19:30. The two preceding parables serve to lead up to a resumption of teaching concerning the Judgment. The villages are apparently in Peræ a. An inquirer wonders if there are few who are in the way of salvation, and is bidden with other hearers to make sure that he is in it himself. The Kingdom may be extensive ( Luke 13:19; Luke 13:21),... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 13:25-27

Our Saviour in these verses doth represent himself by a man, who, having invited guests to his supper, stays till all those who were invited, and accepted the invitation, were Come in; then rising up, shuts the door; and after that is shut, turns a deaf ear to any that shall come knocking, let them plead for admittance what they can plead. By this parabolical expressing of himself, he both openeth in part what he meant by the foregoing words, many will seek to enter in, and shall not be able,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 13:22-30

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 13:22. Went through cities, etc.—Not a direct journey. To Jerusalem.—The last journey through Peræa to Jerusalem.Luke 13:23. Then said one.—Probably a Jew (see Luke 13:28); he can hardly have been a disciple. The question he asked was one frequently debated in Jewish schools, some maintaining universal salvation, others limiting it to a few elect (2EEsther 8:1). It is plain that by salvation is here meant final acceptance with God and entrance into heaven. Christ does not... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 13:1-35

Luke 13:1 . There were some present at that season of the passover, that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. Though this might be blood for blood, yet it was a profane action, and contrary to all laws which regard the sanctity of temples. This occurrence is related at large by Josephus, in his Antiquities of the Jews, book 18. chap. 5. Judas the Gaulonite revolted against the Romans, and refused to call any man lord. He and his people were... read more
