Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 11:49-51

_ _ said the wisdom, etc. — a remarkable variation of the words in Matthew 23:34, “Behold I SEND.” As there seems plainly an allusion to ancient warnings of what God would do with so incorrigible a people, so here Christ, stepping majestically into the place of God, so to speak, says, “Now I am going to carry all that out.” Could this be other than the Lord of Israel in the flesh?

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 11:37-54.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Luke 11:49

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and (l) persecute:

(l) They will so vex them and trouble them, that at length they will banish them.
