# Lu 16:24
\\And he cried.\\ The only instance in the NT of prayers to
the saints.
\\Father Abraham.\\ His trust was in his fleshly descent. He
said, "We have Abraham to our father."
# Mt 3:9 Lu 3:8
\\Send Lazarus.\\ He seems to think that he has some claims
on him, in return for his crumbs.
\\Dip the tip of his finger in water.\\ He only dares ask the
smallest favour.
\\Tormented in this flame.\\ "Flame may be regarded as a
figurative term, to represent acutest suffering of which a
spirit is susceptible by a material image of misery the most
die."--Greswell.
(PNT 290)

# Lu 16:25
\\Son.\\ Abraham recognizes the fleshly tie. His answer is
fatherly, affectionate.
\\Remember.\\ Analogy gives us every reason to suppose that
in the disembodied state the whole life on earth will lie before
the soul in all its thoughts, words, and deeds, like the map of
the past journey before a traveller.--Alford.
\\Thy good things.\\ He was of the number who receive their
portion in this life, instead of that good part which shall
never be taken from them. He had preferred the world and its
rewards, and had obtained them. But he had lost the world to
come. "Thy" is emphatic. Earthly possessions and enjoyments were
his choice.
\\Now he is comforted.\\ The saved leave all sorrows behind
when they leave the earth; the lost leave all their joys behind.
(PNT 290)
02502
# Lu 16:26
\\There is a great gulf fixed.\\ It is permanent and
impassable. There is no bridging over the abyss. Destiny has
been decided in life.
(PNT 290)
02503
# Lu 16:27
\\Send him to my father's house.\\ This is introduced. not to
show an interest in his brethren, but to call out the reply:
(PNT 290)
02505
# Lu 16:29
\\They have Moses and the prophets.\\ If they would refuse to
hear the word of God, they would refuse to repent at the bidding
of a ghost.
(PNT 290)
02507
# Lu 16:31
\\Neither will they be persuaded\\, etc. This was
demonstrated in the case of Jesus himself. The Jews refused to
accept Christ, though Moses and the prophets testified of him.
They asked for a sign, and "the sign of the prophet Jonah," his
resurrection from the dead, was given.
# Mt 13:39 16:4 Lu 11:29
Still they refused to repent. Unbelief is due, not to a lack of
evidence, but to a rebellious heart. The seat of scepticism is
in the moral nature.

(PNT 291)
02512
# Lu 17:5
\\Increase our faith.\\ They desire more faith. In the face
of the overwhelming odds against them, the general unbelief, and
the fact that Jesus would not be the kind of a Christ that they
and all the Jews had expected, they felt the need of more faith.
(PNT 291)

girded up by the belt when one was serving.
(PNT 291)
02517
# Lu 17:10
\\We are unprofitable servants.\\ Our Master owes us no
thanks when we serve him faithfully, for we have only done our
duty. The heavenly reward to the faithful is of grace, not of
debt.
# Ro 11:6
(PNT 291)
02518
# Lu 17:11
\\As he went to Jerusalem.\\ When is uncertain. If on his

\\Though the midst of Samaria and Galilee.\\ From the west to
the east, so as to cross the Jordan.
(PNT 291)
02519
# Lu 17:12
\\There met him ten men that were lepers.\\ For account of
the leprosy, and the laws of Moses concerning it,
see note on "Mt 8:2"

company.

thanks to Jesus for his salvation.

hated race.
(PNT 292)
02524

ingratitude of men! One returns, the alien; the other, saved
from a living death, are heard no more.
(PNT 292)
02526
# Lu 17:19
\\Thy faith hath made thee well.\\ Saved him by leading him
to obedience. His faith had added to it another grace, that of
love. His faith had not only saved his body, but he had been
born to the new life, his soul was saved.
(PNT 292)
02527
# Lu 17:20
\\When the kingdom of God should come.\\ These Pharisees
expected a visible, temporal kingdom.
\\Cometh not with observation.\\ As a visible, earthly
monarchy, like that of David.
(PNT 292)
02528
# Lu 17:21
\\Is within you.\\ A kingdom that has its throne in the
heart, on which Christ, the King, sits. It has to be formed by
yielding our hearts to Christ.
(PNT 292)
02529

making it effectual. See

it."--Augustine.

have suffered.
