Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:1-37

Men Must Live In The Light Of The Coming Of The Son of Man In His Glory (15:1-19:28). Having established in Section 1 that Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the city of David where He was proclaimed ‘Saviour’ and ‘Lord Messiah’; and in Section 2 that as ‘the Son of God’ Jesus had faced His temptations as to what His Messiahship would involve and defeated the Tempter; and that in Section 3 He had proclaimed in parables the secrets of ‘the Kingly Rule of God’; and had in Section 4 taught His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:26

“And as it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of man.” Here the ‘days of Noah’ undoubtedly refer to the days prior to the day that Noah left the world and entered the Ark as the next verse makes clear. We would therefore expect the parallel phrase ‘the days of the Son of Man’ to signify the days prior to the climactic events that happened to Him, the days that led up to Him too leaving the world. The future tense in the latter case need indicate no more... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:27

“They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.” And what happened in ‘the days of Noah?’ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage. In other words life seemed to be going on as normal. They continued blissfully unaware of Noah’s activities in their midst. They ignored both his building of the Ark which condemned the world (Hebrews 11:7) and the proclamation of his... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:28-29

“In the same way even as it occurred in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built, but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.” A second example is now given, the days of Lot, which is ‘in the same way’, thus again being compared with the days of the Son of man. They ate and they drank, they participated in all the activities which made up their lives, firmly establishing themselves... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:1-37

Luke 17. The chapter illustrates the difficulty experienced by Lk. in using the material at his disposal. He here brings together without any clear connexion of thought a selection of sayings of Christ, mostly paralleled in Mt., together with a miracle. Luke 17:1 f. stumbling-blocks. Mark 9:42 *, Matthew 18:6 f.* (note the reversed order). Luke 17:3 . Take heed to yourselves probably belongs to Luke 17:2. Luke 17:3 f. The Duty of Forgiveness ( Matthew 18:15; Matthew 18:21 f.*).— Mt. is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 17:26-30

See Poole on "Matthew 24:37", and following verse to Matthew 24:39. Our blessed Lord in these verses doth both declare the surprisal of the Jews with that judgment which was coming upon them, and of the world with his coming in the day of judgment, (of which the destruction of Jerusalem was a type), and also forewarns them to take heed that they might not be surprised; he tells them, that in the days of the Son of man, ( so that he speaketh of more than one day), the day of his power in the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 17:20-37

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 17:20. Demanded of the Pharisees.—We can scarcely think that they had any good end in view in asking this question; it is probable they expected to get some answer which might be used against Jesus. Their idea of “the kingdom of God” was that it would be an outward manifestation of God’s sovereignty in the world, in which a splendid position of supremacy would be assigned to the Jewish nation. With observation.—I.e., in such a manner as to be observed with the outward... read more

DISCOURSE: 1554SUDDENNESS OF CHRIST’S SECOND COMINGLuke 17:26-30. As it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and... read more

Chapter 17Now He turns again to His disciples.Then said he unto his disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come ( Luke 17:1 ):You cannot help if you're living in this world, you're going to have offenses come your way. There are going to be people who will seek to put stumbling stones in your path. And that's what the word offense here; it's a stone of stumbling, a scandalon. It's impossible to live your life without having these things happen. These offenses, as people challenge... read more
