Geneva Study Bible - Luke 5:12

5:12 {2} And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on [his] face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.(2) Christ, by healing the leper with only his touch and sending him to the priest, witnesses that it is he, through whom and by whom, apprehended by faith, all we who are unclean according to the law are pronounced to be pure and clean by the witness of God himself. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Luke 5:15

5:15 {3} But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.(3) Christ would rather be well known by his doctrine than by miracles, and therefore he departs from those that seek him as a physician of the body, and not as the author of salvation. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Luke 5:17

5:17 {4} And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord {c} was [present] to heal them.(4) Christ, in healing him that was sick from paralysis, shows the cause of all diseases, and the remedy.(c) The mighty power of Christ’s Godhead showed itself in him at that time. read more

5:27 {5} And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.(5) The Church is a company of sinners who are repentant through the grace of Christ, who banquet with him to the great offence of the proud and envious people of the world. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Luke 5:33

5:33 {6} And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise [the disciples] of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?(6) Hypocrites and ignorant men make a point of making fasting and unimportant things a matter of holiness. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Luke 5:34

5:34 {7} And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?(7) Laws generally made without any consideration of circumstances; for fasting and other things of like sort are not only tyrannous but very harmful to the Church. read more

PETER, JAMES AND JOHN CALLED AS DISCIPLES (vs.1-11) It is good to read in verse 1 that by the Lake of Gennesaret (or Sea of Galilee) the people pressed upon the Lord Jesus, not to see miracles, but to hear the Word of God. Two fishing boats were nearby, the fishermen taking time to wash their nets. We elsewhere read of Simon and Andrew "casting a net into the sea" (Mark 1:16), typically the labor of evangelists in fishing for men; then of James and John "mending their nets" (Mark 1:19),... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 5:1-16

THE MINISTRY BEGUN AT NAZARETH (Luke 4:16-30 ) It was the custom for visitors to be granted the privilege of reading the Scriptures on such occasions (Luke 4:16-17 ), and Jesus read from Isaiah 61:0 . Perhaps it was not the appointed portion for that day, which may explain the last sentence of Luke 4:20 . However, when He began to apply the prophecy to Himself (Luke 4:21 ), there was astonishment indeed, for nothing like that had ever been heard. Luke 4:23 indicates the state of mind and... read more

TEACHING FORGIVENESS OF SIN (Luke 5:17-26 ) Comparing this with Mark 2:1 , we find it took place in Capernaum, and possibly in the house in which our Lord dwelt (Matthew 9:1 ). What proof it contains of the deity of Christ. JESUS’ EARTHLY MISSION (Luke 5:27-32 ) Levi, as we saw in Mark 2:0 , is Matthew whose faith in following Jesus is more remarkable than that of Peter, for he had more to relinquish. He soon showed his faith further by his works (Luke 5:29 ). But though he made “a great... read more
