Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 12:1-59
Shall we turn in our Bibles to Luke's gospel, chapter 12.We are dealing with the final month in the ministry of Jesus. He has returned to Jerusalem. He will soon be leaving Jerusalem to go down to the area of the Jordan River beyond Jericho. Where He will sort of absent Himself from the authorities, until such a time as He comes back for the feast of the Passover, and makes His triumphant entry on the Sunday before the feast of the Passover. So just where, here in Luke's account, does Jesus... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 12:1-59
Luke 12:1 . There were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people. The Greek is myriads, or ten thousands of people. Luke 12:5 . Power to cast into hell. The Greek is Gehenna, as on Isaiah 30:33. Matthew 5:22. Luke 12:6 . Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, two assarions. The assarion was the tenth of a denarion. A farthing, that is, the fourth of a penny, though correct in English, is quite erroneous when applied to the denarion, as in the Greek. Matthew 22:19.... read more

Luke 12:2-3Nothing covered, that shall not be revealedThe revealing processThere is a tendency in things everywhere to manifest their natures, and make themselves known.Seeds that are buried, seek the light; shells deep in the sea grope their way to the shore; the processes of nature are to bring things to the surface. What is true in matter has certainly its counterpart in mind. Human character, notwithstanding all efforts to keep itself back, also tends to development; what is not seen at... read more

Luke 12:4-5Be not afraid of them that kill the bodyThe fear of GodI.WHAT IS THAT FEAR OF GOD WHICH THE FRIENDS AND DISCIPLES OF CHRIST ARE EXPECTED TO CHERISH? 1. We are sure that this fear is not, as some would have us believe, inconsistent with the enjoyment of the hopes and consolations of the gospel. 2. This fear blends itself with the other emotions of our mind, and gives a chastened character to them all. (1) Solemnity to our prayers. (2) Sobriety to our hopes. (3) Consistency to our... read more

Luke 12:6-7Not one of them is forgotten before GodGod’s universal oversightYou see the Bible will not be limited in the choice of symbols, and there is hardly beast, or bird, or insect which has not been called to illustrate some Divine truth--the ox’s patience, the ant’s industry, the spider’s skill, the hind’s surefootedness, the eagle’s speed, the dove’s gentleness, and even the sparrow’s meanness and insignificance.In Oriental countries, none but the poorest people buy the sparrow and eat... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 12:8
Luke 12:8Whosoever shall confess Me before meThe judgment-seat of ChristI.For FINGER-POSTS that may guide our endeavour to come at the spiritual reality here symbolized, such thoughts as these may serve. 1. Evidently Christ here contrasts the seen and the unseen world as respectively small and great; here a petty vicinage, there a grand environment; here ignorant men, there high intelligences--the angels of God; here ourselves as affected by the examples and opinions of sinners, there ourselves... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 12:9
Luke 12:9He that denieth Me before menOn denying ChristI.HOW MANY WAYS CHRIST AND HIS TRUTHS MAY BE DENIED; AND WHAT IS THE DENIAL HERE CHIEFLY INTENDED. Here, first, in general I assert that we may deny Him in all those acts that are capable of being morally good or evil; those are the proper scene in which we act our confessions or denials of Him. Accordingly, therefore, all ways of denying Christ I shall comprise under these three. 1. We may deny Him and His truths by an erroneous, heretical... read more
