Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 7:13

(13) And when the Lord saw her.—The words are noticeable as being one of the comparatively few instances in which the term “the Lord” is used absolutely instead of Jesus. As far as it goes it confirms the view suggested in the previous Note, that the narrative came from those who had a profound reverence for the Master they had followed, and at a time when they had learnt thus to speak of Him. (Comp. the language of Mary Magdalene in John 20:2; John 20:13.) It may be noted further that this use... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 7:14

(14) He came and touched the bier.—The noun so translated is used by classical authors in various senses. Here the facts make it clear that it was after the Jewish manner of burial. It was not a closed-up coffin, like the mummy-cases of Egypt, but an open bier on which the corpse lay wrapped up in its winding-sheet and swathing bands, as in the description of the entombment of Lazarus (John 11:44) and of our Lord (John 20:6-7), with the sudarium, the napkin or handkerchief, laid lightly over... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 7:15

(15) He delivered him to his mother.—Literally, He gave him. The mother was, probably, following at some little distance with the other mourners. As she came up she received her son as given to her once again, “God-given,” in a higher sense then when she had rejoiced that a man-child was born into the world. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 7:16

(16) A great prophet.—This, we must remember, was the first instance of our Lord’s power as put forth to raise the dead, that of Jairus’s daughter following in Luke 8:40-56. In the history of the Old Testament there were examples of such wonders having been wrought by Elijah (1 Kings 17:22) and Elisha (2 Kings 4:34), and the people drew the natural inference that here there was at least a prophet of the same order.That God hath visited his people.—The same word as in Luke 1:68; Luke 1:78, where... read more

Three Estimates of One Character Luke 7:4 ; Luke 7:6 ; Luke 7:9 I. In the first place, we have the estimate formed of this man by his neighbours, 'Saying that he was worthy'. Now in regard to this testimonial, two or three remarks may be made. (1) For one thing, it must, I think, he conceded that these elders had enjoyed the best opportunities for forming a judgment regarding him. He lived in the midst of them. (2) But these elders had another advantage in coming to a knowledge of this... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:1-50

A CENTURION'S SERVANT HEALED (vs.1-10) The Lord then came to Capernaum and there was appealed to by a Gentile, a Roman centurion, by means of the mediatorship of Jewish elders. In contrast to this a woman of Canaan later came to Him herself, asking His mercy for her daughter (Matthew 15:22), but He ignored her because she appealed to Him as though she was Jewish. But when she called Him "Lord" rather than "Son of David," He reminded her that she was in the place of a "dog," being a Gentile.... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 7:1-50

HIS FAME SPREADING THE CENTURION’S SE RV ANT (Luke 7:1-10 ) Matthew describes the centurion as personally entreating our Lord (Matthew 8:5-13 ), but Luke tells how he first approached him through the Jewish elders and then through other friends. THE WIDOW OF NAIN (Luke 7:11-17 ) THE WIDOW OF NAIN (Luke 7:11-17 ) is a story original with Luke. Note that no appeal was made to our Lord in this case, but that His compassion was awakened by the sight itself. This was probably the first... read more

A Conspectus of Christ's Miracles Luke 7:0 My purpose is to show the congruity of Christ's miracles; to point out with what beauty and precision they accommodate themselves to one another; to indicate the family likeness of the miracles; how much soever they may seem to differ from one another, yet there is a central and all-uniting line bringing them into perfect congruity, and showing how possible it is in the midst of great diversity to have real spiritual unity. Observe what is in the... read more

(11) And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain: and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. (12) Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, Behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and much people of the city was with her. (13) And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. (14) And he came and touched the bier; and they that bare him stood still: and he said,... read more
