Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 2:44

Luke 2:44. Supposing him to have been in the company— Several families then travelled together, as they do at present on such occasions, in companies, or caravans, as they are called in the East. In these companies it was not unusual for persons to leave their own families, and mix with others, for the sake of conversation in the day-time; but at night they always joined their own families again. The parents of Jesus therefore supposing him to have been among their relations, were not... read more

Luke 2:46. They found him in the temple— On the morrow after their arrival, the parents of Jesus, to their great joy, found him in one of the chambers of the temple, sitting among the doctors, who at certain seasons, and particularly at the great festivals, taught there publicly; a custom hinted at in Jeremiah 26:5-10. See also John 18:20. There were no less than three Sanhedrim, or assemblies of the doctors, who had apartments in the temple, two of these consisted of twenty-three persons each,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 2:47-48

Luke 2:47-48. And all that heard him were astonished— The words rendered astonished in this verse, and amazed in the next, are much more forcible than our translation of them. They import, that they were in a transport of astonishment, and were struck with admiration. As our Lord himself has told us, that on this occasion he was employed in his Father's business, it is probable that in these his answers and objections, he modestlyinsinuated corrections of the errors wherewith the Jewish... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 2:49

Luke 2:49. Wist ye not, &c.— Some render this, Know ye not that I must be in my Father's house? With this translation the Syriac version agrees: and it is certain that the Greek will well bear this translation, and that the reply appears with peculiar propriety, if it be supposed to signify, that though they thought him lost, yet he was at home; he was in his Father's house. He calls the temple his Father's house, Joh 2:16 and thus gives a tacit hint, that in staying behind at Jerusalem, he... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 2:52

Luke 2:52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature— The word signifies either age or stature; but the latter seems evidently to be here meant. Erasmus remarks, (nearlyin these words) that all the endowments of the Man Christ Jesus were owing to the divine beneficence, and that his Deity communicated itself in a gradual manner to that human nature which it had assumed. Some perhaps may wish to know the history of our Lord's childhood and private life; what early proofs he gave of his having... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 2:39

39. Nothing is more difficult than to fix the precise order in which the visit of the Magi, with the flight into and return from Egypt ( :-), are to be taken, in relation to the circumcision and presentation of Christ in the temple, here recorded. It is perhaps best to leave this in the obscurity in which we find it, as the result of two independent, though if we knew all, easily reconcilable narratives. read more

"Solitary flowered out of the wonderful enclosed garden of the thirty years, plucked precisely there where the swollen bud, at a distinctive crisis (at twelve years of age), bursts into flower.

42. went up—"were wont to go." Though males only were required to go up to Jerusalem at the three annual festivals ( :-), devout women, when family duties permitted, went also, as did Hannah (1 Samuel 1:7), and, as we here see, the mother of Jesus. when twelve years old—At this age every Jewish boy was styled "a son of the law," being put under a course of instruction and trained to fasting and attendance on public worship, besides being set to learn a trade. At this age accordingly our Lord is... read more
