Luk 8:4-18 | JFB

‏ Luke 8:4-18

16. No man, &c.--(see on Mt 5:15, of which this is nearly a repetition).

17. For nothing, &c.--(See on Lu 12:2).

18. how ye--in Mr 4:24, "what ye hear." The one implies the other. The precept is very weighty.

seemeth to have--or, "thinketh that he hath" (Margin). The "having" of Mt 13:12 (on which see), and this "thinking he hath," are not different. Hanging loosely on him, and not appropriated, it is and is not his.

Lu 8:19-21. His Mother and Brethren Desire to Speak with Him.

(See on Mt 12:46-50).

Lu 8:22-25. Jesus Crossing the Lake, Stills the Storm.

(See on Mt 8:23-27, and Mr 4:35-41).
