F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 2:40-52

the Boy Jesus in the Temple Luke 2:40-52 “Solitary floweret,” says Stier, referring to this incident, “gathered from the wonderful enclosed garden of the thirty years and plucked precisely when the swollen bud, at the age of twelve years, was about to burst into flower.” The incident is specially valuable as indicating so perfect an understanding between our Lord and His mother. He wondered that, knowing Him as she did, she could have lost Him, or should have failed to seek Him in His... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 2:1-52

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, under the yoke of an oppressor. Moreover, by the exigency of the circumstances, He was born amid the homeless crowd. This was according to the divine arrangement and foretelling. The message of the angel and the chorus of the heavenly host are of especial interest as revealing heaven's outlook on the birth of Jesus. That may be stated by citing two brief sentences. 1. "Glory to God in the highest," 2. "Peace on earth among men in whom He is well pleased." ... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 2:1-52

The Seven Magnificats Selections from Luke 1:1-80 and Luke 2:1-52 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction to the seven Magnificats, we will study the annunciation of the birth of Christ, as it was given by the angel unto Mary. Our study will follow Luke 1:27-38 . 1. The virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph. We emphasize that Mary was a virgin. This was plainly set forth in the prophetic Scriptures, when the Holy Ghost wrote, "A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall... read more

The Childhood of Christ Luke 2:40-52 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We come now into the study of a Holy Child. He was a Child different from any other child ever born of woman. As preparatory to the study proper let us mark some of those things which prove the statement just made that Christ the Child was distinct from and different to all other sons of men. 1. No one in birth ever was heralded as the Christ Child was heralded. Far back, in the garden of Eden, when the first pair sinned, God came... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 2:42-51

THE TEMPLE AND THE HOME‘When He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem.… And He went down with them, … and was subject unto them.’ Luke 2:42-Colossians : In this passage we learn something of Christ when He was young. We read the only circumstance recorded of His early years (cf. Isaiah 53:2). We hear His first words, ‘Wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s business?’—words that involve the principle for all our lives. Where could we find such a picture of early piety on earth?... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 2:46

THE BOYHOOD OF CHRIST‘They found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and askimg them questions.’ Luke 2:46 Though but one incident in the early life of Jesus is recorded, that one is particularly charming and valuable, and deserves to be studied with a special interest and assiduity especially by the young. I. His attachment to the house of God.—The Temple was the dwelling-place of the Most High. Here Jesus delighted to resort, finding true pleasure in... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 2:49

A CONDITION OF LIFE‘Wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s business?’ Luke 2:49 The lessons to be drawn from this incident are sufficiently obvious. Work is a condition of life. It is in itself one of its most ennobling conditions, raising us as it does into closest union with God, Who is ever still and yet ever active. I. The work that God has given us.—The first thing we must be absolutely sure about is that our work is the work God has sent us into the world to do. Christ makes no... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 2:41-51

Jesus Goes Up to the Temple and Receives Understanding in the Things of God in His Father’s Presence (2:41-51). We are now given an example of how He has developed through the years, for He meets up as a twelve year old boy with the great teachers of Jerusalem, and they are amazed by His questions and responses, and by His understanding. We are also made to see that He is like no other and claims a special relationship with ‘His Father’. We may analyse this passage as follows: a And His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 2:44-45

‘But supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance, and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.’ As both His parents clearly assumed that He was with them, presumably with his cousins, neither was worried until after a day’s journey when they settled down to camp for the night, and at that stage were unable to find Him. But even then they were not too worried. They would think that He... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 2:46

‘And it came about, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions.’ It would take the parents all night, and even some of the next day, to get back to Jerusalem and then they began their search. Nor would they find Him immediately, for they probably went to different places where relatives had been staying to check there. It was thus not until the following day that they found Him in the Temple. He was either... read more
