AND JOANNA, THE WIFE OF CHUZA, HEROD'S STEWARD, AND SUSANNA, AND MANY OTHERS, WHICH MINISTERED UNTO HIM OF THEIR SUBSTANCE. As usual, Luke is not concerned about the exact sequence of events that happened at about the same time, in this case during the ministry of Jesus in Galilee. Sometime afterwar...

AND WHEN MUCH PEOPLE WERE GATHERED TOGETHER AND WERE COME TO HIM OUT OF EVERY CITY, HE SPAKE BY A PARABLE:... [ Continue Reading ]
The parable of the fourfold soil:... [ Continue Reading ]
A SOWER WENT OUT TO SOW HIS SEED; AND AS HE SOWED, SOME FELL BY THE WAYSIDE; AND IT WAS TRODDEN DOWN, AND THE FOWLS OF THE AIR DEVOURED IT.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND SOME FELL UPON A ROCK; AND AS SOON AS IT WAS SPRUNG UP, IT WITHERED AWAY BECAUSE IT LACKED MOISTURE.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND SOME FELL AMONG THORNS; AND THE THORNS SPRANG UP WITH IT AND CHOKED IT.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND OTHER FELL ON GOOD GROUND, AND SPRANG UP, AND BARE FRUIT AN HUNDREDFOLD. AND WHEN HE HAD SAID THESE THINGS, HE CRIED, HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR. The fame of Christ was still spreading so rapidly that people from all the cities and towns from near and far came together to see and he... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HIS DISCIPLES ASKED HIM, SAYING, WHAT MIGHT THIS PARABLE BE?... [ Continue Reading ]
The explanation of the parable:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID, UNTO YOU IT IS GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BUT TO OTHERS IN PARABLES, THAT SEEING THEY MIGHT NOT SEE, AND HEARING THEY MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND.... [ Continue Reading ]
WOW THE PARABLE IS THIS: THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD,... [ Continue Reading ]
THOSE BY THE WAYSIDE ARE THEY THAT HEAR; THEN COMETH THE DEVIL, AND TAKETH AWAY THE WORD OUT OF THEIR HEARTS, LEST THEY SHOULD BELIEVE AND BE SAVED.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEY ON THE ROCK ARE THEY WHICH, WHEN THEY HEAR, RECEIVE THE WORD WITH JOY; AND THESE HAVE NO ROOT, WHICH FOR A WHILE BELIEVE, AND IN TIME OF TEMPTATION FALL AWAY... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THAT WHICH FELL AMONG THORNS ARE THEY WHICH, WHEN THEY HAVE HEARD, GO FORTH, AND ARE CHOKED WITH CARES AND RICHES AND PLEASURES OF THIS LIFE, AND BRING NO FRUIT TO PERFECTION.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THAT ON THE GOOD GROUND ARE THEY WHICH IN AN HONEST AND GOOD HEART, HAVING HEARD THE WORD, KEEP IT, AND BRING FORTH FRUIT WITH PATIENCE. The disciples at that time had as yet little spiritual knowledge and understanding. And so Jesus patiently explains to them the meaning of the parable, since t... [ Continue Reading ]
NO MAN, WHEN HE HATH LIGHTED A CANDLE, COVERETH IT WITH A VESSEL, OR PUTTETH IT UNDER A BED, BUT SETTETH IT ON A CANDLESTICK, THAT THEY WHICH ENTER IN MAY SEE THE LIGHT.... [ Continue Reading ]
Other parabolic sayings:... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR NOTHING IS SECRET THAT SHALL NOT BE MADE MANIFEST, NEITHER ANYTHING HID THAT SHALL NOT BE KNOWN AND COME ABROAD.... [ Continue Reading ]
TAKE HEED, THEREFORE, HOW YE HEAR; FOR WHOSOEVER HATH, TO HIM SHALL BE GIVEN; AND WHOSOEVER HATH NOT, FROM, HIM SHALL BE TAKEN EVEN THAT WHICH HE SEEMETH TO HAVE. These words seem to have been a favorite saying of Jesus, for He repeats them on various occasions, Matthew 5:15; Mark 4:21; Luke 11:33.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN CAME TO HIM HIS MOTHER AND HIS BRETHREN, AND COULD NOT COME AT HIM FOR THE PRESS.... [ Continue Reading ]
The true relatives of the Lord:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IT WAS TOLD HIM BY CERTAIN WHICH SAID, THY MOTHER AND THY BRETHREN STAND WITHOUT, DESIRING TO SEE THEE.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, MY MOTHER AND MY BRETHREN ARE THESE WHICH HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND DO IT. In the narrative above Luke had combined the discourses of two different occasions. This explains the fact that he here relates the incident concerning the relatives of Jesus. Christ was bus... [ Continue Reading ]
THE STORM ON THE SEA. v. 22. NOW IT CAME TO PASS ON A CERTAIN DAY THAT HE WENT INTO A SHIP WITH HIS DISCIPLES; AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, LET US GO OVER UNTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE. AND THEY LAUNCHED FORTH.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT AS THEY SAILED, HE FELL ASLEEP; AND THERE CAME DOWN A STORM OF WIND ON THE LAKE; AND THEY WERE FILLED WITH WATER, AND WERE IN JEOPARDY.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY CAME TO HIM AND AWOKE HIM, SAYING, MASTER, MASTER, WE PERISH. THEN HE AROSE, AND REBUKED THE WIND AND THE RAGING OF THE WATER; AND THEY CEASED, AND THERE WAS A CALM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHERE IS YOUR FAITH? AND THEY, BEING AFRAID, WONDERED, SAYING ONE TO ANOTHER, WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS! FOR HE COMMANDETH EVEN THE WINDS AND WATER, AND THEY OBEY HIM. See Matthew 8:23; Mark 4:35. It was at the close of a strenuous day that Jesus embarked in a boat with His d... [ Continue Reading ]

WHEN HE SAW JESUS, HE CRIED OUT, AND FELL DOWN BEFORE HIM, AND WITH A LOUD VOICE SAID, WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH THEE, JESUS, THOU SON OF GOD MOST HIGH? I BESEECH THEE, TORMENT ME NOT.... [ Continue Reading ]
(FOR HE HAD COMMANDED THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT TO COME OUT OF THE MAN. FOR OFTENTIMES IT HAD CAUGHT HIM; AND HE WAS KEPT BOUND WITH CHAINS AND IN FETTERS; AND HE BRAKE THE BANDS, AND WAS DRIVEN OF THE DEVIL INTO THE WILDERNESS.) See Matthew 8:28; Mark 5:1. Luke's description is graphic: They sailed down f... [ Continue Reading ]

AND THERE WAS THERE AN HERD OF MANY SWINE FEEDING ON THE MOUNTAIN; AND THEY BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE WOULD SUFFER THEM TO ENTER INTO THEM. AND HE SUFFERED THEM... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN WENT THE DEVILS OUT OF THE MAN, AND ENTERED INTO THE SWINE; AND THE HERD RAN VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP PLACE INTO THE LAKE, AND WERE CHOKED. Since the man appeared to have a rational interval, Jesus asked him his name. The poor man being the victim, not only of one or of a few devils, answered acc... [ Continue Reading ]

THEN THE WHOLE MULTITUDE OF THE COUNTRY OF THE GADARENES ROUND ABOUT BESOUGHT HIM TO DEPART FROM THEM; FOR THEY WERE TAKEN WITH GREAT FEAR; AND HE WENT UP INTO THE SHIP, AND RETURNED BACK AGAIN.... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW THE MAN OUT OF WHOM THE DEVILS WERE DEPARTED BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE MIGHT BE WITH HIM; BUT JESUS SENT HIM AWAY, SAYING,... [ Continue Reading ]
RETURN TO THINE OWN HOUSE, AND SHOW HOW GREAT THINGS GOD HATH DONE UNTO THEE. AND HE WENT HIS WAY, AND PUBLISHED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CITY HOW GREAT THINGS JESUS HAD DONE, UNTO HIM. The swineherds were taken by surprise at this strange action of the animals entrusted to them. When this supernatural... [ Continue Reading ]

THE WOMAN WITH AN ISSUE AND THE DAUGHTER OF JAIRUS. The plea of Jairus:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND, BEHOLD, THERE CAME A MAN NAMED JAIRUS, AND HE WAS A RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE; AND HE FELL DOWN AT JESUS' FEET, AND BESOUGHT HIM THAT HE WOULD COME INTO HIS HOUSE;... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR HE HAD ONE ONLY DAUGHTER, ABOUT TWELVE YEARS OF AGE, AND SHE LAY A DYING. BUT AS HE WENT, THE PEOPLE THRONGED HIM. The return of Jesus to Galilee was apparently hailed with delight by the majority of the people, though the scribes and Pharisees were again a thorn in the flesh, Matthew 9:18. Whet...

AND JESUS SAID, SOMEBODY HATH TOUCHED ME; FOR I PERCEIVE THAT VIRTUE IS GONE OUT OF ME... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN THE WOMAN SAW THAT SHE WAS NOT HID, SHE CAME TREMBLING, AND FALLING DOWN BEFORE HIM, SHE DECLARED UNTO HIM BEFORE ALL THE PEOPLE FOR WHAT CAUSE SHE HAD TOUCHED HIM, AND HOW SHE WAS HEALED IMMEDIATELY.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID UNTO HER, DAUGHTER, BE OF GOOD COMFORT; THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE; GO IN PEACE. This thronging of the crowd, which Luke emphasizes so strongly, was taken advantage of by a certain woman. She had been in the sickness of a flux of blood, surrounded by this misery, for the space of twe... [ Continue Reading ]
WHILE HE YET SPAKE, THERE COMETH ONE FROM THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE'S HOUSE, SAYING TO HIM, THY DAUGHTER IS DEAD; TROUBLE NOT THE MASTER.... [ Continue Reading ]

AND HER PARENTS WERE ASTONISHED; BUT HE CHARGED THEM THAT THEY SHOULD TELL NO MAN WHAT WAS DONE. The matter with the woman had delayed Jesus for some time, and this was altogether in line with His plans. For now one of the servants of the ruler of the synagogue came and told Jairus that his daughter... [ Continue Reading ]
