Luke 11:31-32A greater than Solomon is hereChrist’s superiority to SolomonThe superiority of Christ to Solomon may be traced in the following particulars.1. In His origin. Solomon was indeed of honourable descent, being of the princely tribe of Judah, and of the family of David, who was one of the most illustrious monarchs that ever filled the throne of Israel. No one could claim a higher pedigree than Solomon, or receive a crown from the hands of a more honourable ancestor. Yet Jesus was... read more

Luke 11:33-36The light of the body is the eyeThe single eyeThe eye is evil when the vision is incorrect, double; is single when it lays hold of one object with clearness and firmness.Shut the eye, or if the eye is diseased so as not to be able to see any one object distinctly, and we have the body full of darkness. This is true in the moral universe. 1. Intellectually. He whose judgment is uncertain, &c. He who has clear plans, &c. 2. Morally. He who has clear conceptions of right and... read more

Luke 11:37-39A certain Pharisee besought Him to dine with him.--The Pharisees reprovedI. THE INVITATION. 1. The prominence with which the Pharisees figure in our Lord’s life is noticeable. (1) In view of their profession of preeminent piety. (2) In view of their scrupulous conformity to all the outward forms of religion. (3) In view of their bitter emnity against Jesus, and their craft and various forms of cunning used to ensnare Him. (4) What a commentary on the powerlessness as well as... read more

Luke 11:41Give alms of such things as ye haveChristian charityIn the Revised Version the translation is--“Give for alms those things that are within,” and this preserves the point of the saying, which is obscured in the rendering of the Authorized Version.Our Lord had been invited to dinner by a certain Pharisee, and had sat down to meat without the customary ritual ablutions. In the eyes of His host He sat there defiled by His refusal of the outward cleansing; and it was to teach the lesson... read more

Luke 11:42These ought ye to have doneSpurious holinessRabbi Shammai, the narrow-minded rival of Hillel, was so scrupulous that he nearly starved his little son on the Day of Atonement, and made a sort of booth of his daughter-in-law’s bed that his little grandson, just born, might keep the Feast of Tabernacles.Yet we are told that he was a luxurious and selfish man. It is easier to tithe mint than to live a holy life. (Canon Farrar.)Neglecting the most important thingA great French doctor was... read more

Luke 11:45Thou reproachest us alsoDisputes reviewedI.WE MUST ALL EXPECT TO BE CALLED TO AN ACCOUNT BY THE LORD JESUS. 1. We are all now in “the way”--travellers--following Christ in consort. 2. There will be a review of what passes in “the way.” 3. The accounts in the great day must be given up to our Lord Jesus. God made the world, by His Son; and by Him, as the fittest person, He will judge the world. Now this is a good reason--(1) Why we should judge ourselves, and prove our own work, and... read more

Luke 11:47-48Ye build the sepulchres of the prophetsBuilding the tombs of the prophetsThe Jews, whilst honouring the prophets and reproaching their fathers, were flattering themselves that they could never have done the like.Would they not indeed? were they not at the very moment thirsting for the blood of Christ and contriving His destruction? Alas for the fatal facility with which those who are quick in discerning the faults of others can blind themselves to their own I Here was the fault of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 11:24

22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. Ver. 24. Seeking rest ] His only rest is to molest and mischief men. read more

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Ver. 26. Seven other spirits ] As the jailor lays a load of iron on him that had escaped. None are worse than those that have been good, and are naught; and might be good, but will be naught. read more
