Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Luke 12:4-5.


Luke 12:5

_ _ Fear Him ... Fear Him — how striking the repetition here! Only the one fear would effectually expel the other.

_ _ after he hath killed, etc. — Learn here —

(1)_ _ To play false with one’s convictions to save one’s life, may fail of its end after all, for God can inflict a violent death in some other and equally formidable way.
(2)_ _ There is a hell, it seems, for the body as well as the soul; consequently, sufferings adapted to the one as well as the other.
(3)_ _ Fear of hell is a divinely authorized and needed motive of action even to Christ’s “friends.”
(4)_ _ As Christ’s meekness and gentleness were not compromised by such harsh notes as these, so those servants of Christ lack their Master’s spirit who soften down all such language to please ears “polite.” (See on Mark 9:43-48).
Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 12:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 12:5

Fear him who hath power to cast into hell — Even to his peculiar friends, Christ gives this direction. Therefore the fearing of God as having power to cast into hell, is to be pressed even on true believers.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Luke 12:5

But I will (b) forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

(b) He warns them of dangers that presently hang over their heads, for those that come upon one suddenly make a greater wound.
