Lucas 11:33-36 NVIPT

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 11:33-36

Parabolic warnings: v. 33. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. v. 34. The light of the body is the eye; therefore, when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. v. 35. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. v. 36. If thy whole body therefore be full of... read more

2. A Sign for the Eye and an Eye for the Sign (Luke 11:29-36)(Comp. Matthew 12:38-42; Matthew 6:22-23.)29And when the people were gathered [gathering] thick together, he began to say, This [generation7] is an evil generation: they seek [it seeks] a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas [Jonah] the prophet [om., the prophet8]. 30For as Jonas [Jonah] was [became] a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31The queen of the south... read more

Dark and Foul within Luke 11:33-44 “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord,” Proverbs 20:27 . How many unlit candles there are! Will you not ask whether Christ has ever kindled you with His divine light and life? You have the capacity for God, but this is not enough: Christ must give you light, Ephesians 5:14 . Seek the clear shining of the inner light, and remember that it will grow clearer and brighter just in proportion as it is obeyed and followed. What a glorious conception this... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 11:1-54

Watching the Master at prayer, His disciples were inspired with a desire to pray, and requested that they be taught. He responded to them in a fourfold statement. First, He gave them a model. Then He revealed the character of God as He contrasted it with that of the unjust judge. He then gave them the franchise of prayer in the words, "Ask, seek, knock"; and finally revealed the ground of confidence as it existed in the Fatherhood of God. His casting out of a demon raised criticism by some,... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 11:36

SPIRITUAL LIGHT‘If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light.’ Luke 11:36 We learn from these words of the Lord Jesus— I. The importance of making a good use of religious light and privileges.—When the Gospel of Christ is placed before a man’s soul, it is as if God offered to him a lighted candle. It is not sufficient to hear it, and assent to it, and admire it, and acknowledge its truth. It must be received into the heart, and obeyed in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-54

Jesus Sets His Face Towards Jerusalem Followed By Centring on the Lord’s Prayer For The Evangelisation of the World (9:51-11:54). This section commences with Jesus setting His face towards Jerusalem because the time for Him to be received up (as mentioned in Luke 9:22; Luke 9:31; Luke 9:44) is approaching, and it centres around the Lord’s Prayer for the evangelisation of the world (Luke 11:1-4) which is exemplified throughout. This is apparent from an analysis: a ‘And it came about when the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:33

“No man, when he has lighted a lamp, puts it in a hiding place, nor under the corn measure, but on the stand, so that those who enter in may see the light.” The first principle that has to be established is that every man must light his lamp by following Jesus Christ (John 8:12) and looking to His words, and that that light must then be allowed to shine. ‘Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify you Father Who is in Heaven’ (Matthew 5:16). Every Christian... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:34

“The lamp of your body is your eye. When your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light, but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.” And how do we light that lamp? The light comes to us from God and from the Lord. And it comes through the window of the eye, which is itself thus like a lamp, for it enables light to shine into our lives. If our eye is single-minded and fixed on Him and His word then our whole body will be full of light. We will be filled with truth and... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:35

“Look therefore whether the light that is in you is not darkness.” Thus all must consider themselves carefully, for sadly some may still think that their darkness is light (they have never known any other). The world is full of people who think that they have light when all they have is darkness. They have the light of reason, the light of lesser religion, the light of knowledge, but they do not have the true light. What they have may be relatively good, but they do not have the all important... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:36

“As when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.” The whole life will then be bathed in light, just as when in a room the bright shining of the lamp gives you light. We will ever be in God’s room with Him, with his light shining on us, and we will be enveloped in the light of Him Who is the light of the world, and in the light of His word. We will walk in the light as He is in the light, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son will go on cleansing us from all sin (1 John 1:7). And when... read more
