5Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.Can you have a ‘plank’ in your eye without knowing it? (The tiniest bit of grit is an unbearable irritant.) When a person does not want to admit or correct his own failures, it is standard defensive procedure to call attention to the failures of others.

4Pilate then went out again and says to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I find no crime in him at all."Pilate’s reasoning is not obvious to me, unless the normal procedure would be to get on with the execution. But Pilate is not happy and is looking for a way out; he had received a message from his wife in the meantime (Matthew 27:19). Perhaps he hoped they would be satisfied when they saw how much He had already suffered.

2where He was tested for forty days by the devil.We are not told just how Satan did this. He ate nothing at all during those days, so after they were completed He was hungry.This episode was ordained by the Holy Spirit. Jesus had to confront Satan when He was physically the weakest He would ever be (40 days without food!). When Satan failed to defeat this weakened Jesus, he was probably filled with despair—he now knew that he could never defeat Him (but he would still try to kill Him). Hebrews 2:18 and 4:15-16 give at least part of the reason why Jesus had to undergo this experience.

3Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew (the tax collector),Matthew insists on recording the fact that he was a tax collector—perhaps to underscore God’s grace in choosing someone from a despised occupation. James (the son of Alphaeus) and Lebbaeus (who was surnamedLess than half of one percent of the Greek manuscripts, of objectively inferior quality, omit "Lebbaeus who was surnamed" (to be followed by NIV, NASB, LB, TEV, etc.). Thaddeus),

3it seemed good to me also, most excellent Theophilus,‘Theophilus’ means ‘God-lover’; although Luke is evidently addressing a specific person, I would like to think that the account is also addressed to all lovers of God. having taken careful note of everything from Above,The normal meaning of the Greek word here, ανωθεν, is precisely ‘from above’, and I see no reason to reject that meaning (although the secondary meaning ‘from the beginning’ is possible). The more so since in the prior verse he already used the normal phrase, απ αρχη, that means ‘from the beginning’. I take it that Luke is claiming divine inspiration, up front. to write to you with precision and in sequence,In fact, with a few exceptions Luke’s narrative is in chronological sequence, and as a physician he doubtless valued precision.

7Jesus says to them, "Fill the pots with water." So they filled them to the brim.That was a lot of water! If it was toward the end of the festivity, there would presumably be a great deal of wine left over. Such excellent wine would bring a good price; perhaps Jesus chose this way to give the new couple a financial boost.

5Now Philip, having gone down to a city of Samaria,Perhaps 2% of the Greek manuscripts, of objectively inferior quality, have ‘the city’, instead of "a city", to be followed by most versions, including AV and NKJV. was proclaiming the Christ to them;

8And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."Well, of course, they knew that both John and Jesus were of God—they just did not want to repent and change their way of life.

8All who ever came before me are thieves and robbers,Although some 50% of the Greek manuscripts (also the three ancient versions) omit "before me", we are virtually obliged to understand this, in any case, since presumably Jesus means pretending to be the Messiah. Gamaliel refers to two possible candidates in Acts 5:36-37. but the sheep did not listen to them.Any true servants of God, such as Simeon and Anna (Luke 2:25-38), would not be taken in by an imposter.
