Lucas 7:1-30 NVI

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:13

‘WEEP NOT!’‘And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.’ Luke 7:13 The poor widow of Nain had lost her only son; and, surely, as she followed his bier, the most stoical could not have rebuked her for weeping. Nature, with its poor dumb wounds, large and bleeding, said, with resistless voice, ‘Weep.’ And yet Jesus says, ‘Weep not!’ Is Jesus, then, at strife with nature? Christ is not at strife with nature, but introduces another, and often opposing, force... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:19

THE FINAL REVELATION‘Art Thou He that should come? or look we for another?’ Luke 7:19 That is the question to which we must all give a definite answer. I. A definite answer required.—If we have never yet settled accounts with ourselves as to our true attitude towards Christ, or if at any time we should find ourselves becoming hazy or doubtful about His true Divinity, this is the point to which we must pin ourselves down. We must constantly force home upon ourselves this one question, we must... read more

‘After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.’ Having completed the giving of the new Law Jesus now returned to Capernaum. read more

2). THE FOUNDING OF THE NEW ISRAEL UNDER THE KINGLY RULE OF GOD (6:20-8:18) In this second part of the section Luke 5:1 to Luke 9:50, Jesus now reveals Himself as the founder of the new Israel under the Kingly Rule of God: a He proclaims the new Law of the Kingly Rule of God (Luke 6:20-49). b He sends out His power to the Gentiles, to those who are seen as unclean, but who have believed. They too are to benefit from His Kingly Rule (Luke 7:1-10). c He raises the dead, a foretaste of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:2

‘And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.’ In or near Capernaum lived a Centurion and his household, and a servant whom he loved dearly was sick, and indeed at the point of death. By the fact that he was concerned about it we see both the centurion’s compassion and his concern for his servants. The centurion was probably a Roman soldier assigned to the service of Herod Antipas as there were no official Roman forces in Galilee at that time. Or... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:3

‘And when he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.’ He was also a humble man. He did not despatch his soldiers to bring Jesus in, as he might have done. Nor did he go himself in order to exercise his influence as a servant of Rome. He recognised that he was dealing here with something greater than Rome, and that, as he was a Gentile, a Jewish prophet may well not wish to enter his house (no Pharisee would so so). So he rather... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:4-5

‘And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy that you should do this for him, for he loves our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.’ The Jews were very impressed by good works. It was something for which Jews were well known. To them this, together with his reverent attitude towards the God of Israel, made the centurion commendable. It is made clear, however, that in the end what commended him to Jesus was his faith in Him. It did illustrate, however,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:6

‘And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come under my roof,” Jesus responded to their plea, and the cry for help, and went on His way. It is probable that the centurion had actually seen the approach of the elders as a first step in order to scout out the position, rather than as a request for Jesus to come. Thus it would appear that when a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:7

‘That is why I did not think myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant shall be healed.’ Indeed, he tells Jesus, that is why he had not come himself. He realised that he was only a Gentile and that he had no call on a Prophet of Israel. All therefore that he requested was that out of compassion Jesus would speak and heal his servant. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:8

‘For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers. And I say to this one, “Go”, and he goes; and to another, “Come”, and he comes; and to my servant, “Do this”, and he does it.’ He assured Jesus that he had no doubt that He could do this because he knew that He was a man who enjoyed the authority of God. So just as he himself could give orders and be obeyed, because he was a man under the rule of the powerful Caesar, and could act in his name, so he knew that Jesus could do... read more
