44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
44 Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
44 Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
44 I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 12:44
Commentary on Luke 12:41-53
(Read Luke 12:41-53)
All are to take to themselves what Christ says in his word, and to inquire concerning it. No one is left so ignorant as not to know many things to be wrong which he does, and many things to be right which he neglects; therefore all are without excuse in their sin. The bringing in the gospel dispensation would occasion desolations. Not that this would be the tendency of Christ's religion, which is pure, peaceable, and loving; but the effect of its being contrary to men's pride and lusts. There was to be a wide publication of the gospel. But before that took place, Christ had a baptism to be baptized with, far different from that of water and the Holy Spirit. He must endure sufferings and death. It agreed not with his plan to preach the gospel more widely, till this baptism was completed. We should be zealous in making known the truth, for though divisions will be stirred up, and a man's own household may be his foes, yet sinners will be converted, and God will be glorified.
