Luke 6:12. Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. Jesus is not only praying for the choice he must make the next day, but also for the healing (Luke 6:17-19) and teaching (Luke 6:20-49) He would do. Jesus always makes prayer his number one priority, because without praye...
Luke 6:13. And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles: We often think of the twelve apostles as the only disciples Jesus had. But that is simply not true. He had hundreds, if not thousands of other disciples. Out of them, He chose twelve to pour most of His time, energy and att...
The main reason is probably because Jesus was picking men to rule in His kingdom. He was, in a way, inaugurating a new Israel in Himself. Originally, the twelve tribes of Israel were to rule over the nations, and they will again one day, but with the twelve apostles ruling over the twelve tribes (Matt. 19:28). Before that happens, Jesus has somethi...
They were perfectly ordinary in every way. Not one was known for being scholarly or well trained in the Bible. Not one was a great speaker, writer or theologian. None of them had outstanding talents or abilities. To the contrary, they were all too prone to mistakes, misstatements, wrong attitudes, failures of faith, and bitter resentment toward oth...
What is most curious about Christ’s choice is that at first, it seemed these apostles had nothing to do but follow Jesus around and listen to His teachings. They thought they were going to be put to some grand task, and given some great responsibility, but all they did was sit around, go to parties, watch Jesus interact with other people, and liste...
The first name on the list of apostles is Simon Peter. He was a fishermen by trade, but left his work to follow Jesus and become a fisher of men. He was married (Luke 4:38; 1 Cor. 9:5), but we don’t know if he had any children. His original name was Simon, but Jesus gave him the nickname Peter, which means “rock” or “stone.” Maybe this is because h...
Next on the list is Andrew. This was Simon Peter’s brother. In Scripture, he is often in the background, but whenever he does appear, he is leading people to Christ. In fact, Andrew became Christ’s first disciple, and the first thing he did as a disciple was lead his brother, Simon, to Christ. However, after this point, he lived in his brother’s sh...
James is the next apostle on our list. He, along with his brother John, was a son of Zebedee. The way Zebedee and his family are portrayed in Scripture lead us to believe that their family was very prominent politically, religiously and economically. In other words, they were rich, powerful, well liked and well known. And James was the eldest son o...
The younger brother of James was John. Together, Jesus nicknamed them “The Sons of Thunder.” That is a fitting nickname for James, and for John also. John was right there with James when James wanted to call down fire from heaven. John also went along with the request to become the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Like his brother, John was passi...
Philip, the fifth apostle named, is the odd one out. Philip was different than Peter, Andrew, James or John. He is not talked about in Matthew, Mark or Luke, but John tells us some about him, and it appears that Philip was the proverbial bean counter. He was a facts and figures guy. He was practical and always wanted to do things by the book. He wa...
Biblical Commentary. (Bible study) Luke 6:27-38. EXEGESIS: LUKE 6:27-38. AN END TO RECIPROCITY. It is natural to reciprocate—to help those who help you and hurt those who hurt you.
We must study to make it appear, by positive acts, if there be an opportunity for them, that we bear them no malice, nor see revenge. Do they curse us, speak ill of us, and wish ill to us? Do they despitefully use us, in word or deed? Do they endeavour to make us contemptible or odious?
