John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 12:8
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: Ver. 8. Whosoever shall confess me ] Cyprian, reproving the rashness of those Christians that would go on their own accord to the heathen magistrates, professing themselves Christians, whereby they were put to death, hath a good and elegant speech: Confiteri nos magis voluit, quam profiteri. Christ would have us confess him; he saith not profess him. Now he confesseth... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 12:11
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: Ver. 11. Take ye no thought ] See the note on Matthew 10:19 , and Mark 13:11 . Alice Driver, martyr, at her examination, put all the doctors to silence, so that they had not a word to say, but one looked upon another. Then she said, Have ye no more to say?

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 12:13
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. 13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. Ver. 13. Master, speak to my brother ] While Christ was busily discoursing about the best things, this importunate fellow interrupts him with this unpleasing, and, therefore, unreasonable request, το ακαιρον πανταχου λυπηρον (Isoc.). But our Saviour soon rejects it, as out of the compass of his calling, and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 12:14
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? Ver. 14. A judge or a divider over you ] It is work enough for a minister rightly to judge of the estate of his flock, and to divide the word of God unto them daily and duly. "What is that to thee?" said Christ to Peter when he meddled with that which belonged not to him, John 21:21 . Age quod tui muneris est, said Valentinian to Ambrose: Do thine own business. And Verbi minister es, hoc age, was Mr Perkins’ motto. ... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 12:15
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Ver. 15. Take heed, and beware of covetousness ] This our Saviour adds after "who made me a judge?" to teach us not to go to law with a covetous mind; but as Charles the French king made war with our Henry VII, more desiring peace than victory. For a man’s life consisteth not, &c. ] He can neither live upon them nor lengthen his life by... read more

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? Ver. 17. And he thought within himself ] He was up with the more and down with the less; he cast up his reckonings, as covetous men’s manner is, and after long debate to and fro, concluded what to do. He talked to himself, &c. ] διελογιζετο . A marvellous proper word for the purpose. read more
