Annotations on the Gospel according to St. Luke
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The commentary on the Gospel of Luke serves to appeal to a wider audience while providing practical application and scholarly inquiry into the text. Despite having much in common with the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, Luke has much of its own material to merit the majority of the volume specifically appealing to Lukan studies.
Top Highlights
“The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib; but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider!’” (Page 323)
“Fear not. How often heaven says that to trembling men” (Page 108)
“It is only another way of saying, ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.’” (Page 278)
“He knew the difference between following Him with their feet and following Him with their hearts. Great multitudes may come to church and crowd the building: but this does not prove that many are becoming Jesus’ disciples.” (Page 278)
“What is this, then, about hating father, mother, wife, children, and so on? This is only a strong way of putting it that nothing may stand between us and God, nothing may claim our love before and greater than love to Him. God is nearer to us, more to us, and should be dearer than any earthly kin. Only as we understand and fulfil our relationship to God do these other relationships, which He Himself has established, appear in their true light. Everywhere in God’s word we are taught love to all those mentioned in this verse, but ‘only in the Lord.’ ‘Thou shalt have no other gods before me:’ thou shalt have no other love before love of me. God must be supreme in our affections. This is what Jesus means.” (Page 279)
