Teks -- Luke 5:36 (NET)

5:36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old garment. If he does, he will have torn the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Robertson: Luk 5:36 - Also a parable

Also a parable ( kai parabolēn ).

There are three parables here in the answer of Jesus (the bridegroom, the patch on the garment, the wineskin). They are not called parables save here, but they are parables and Luke’ s language means that.

Robertson: Luk 5:36 - Rendeth

Rendeth ( schisas ).

This in Luke alone. Common verb. Used of splitting rocks (Mat 27:51). Our word schism comes from it.

Robertson: Luk 5:36 - Putteth it

Putteth it ( epiballei ).

So Mat 9:16 when Mar 2:21 has epiraptei (sews on). The word for "piece"or "patch"(epiblēma ) in all the three Gospels is from the verb epiballō , to clap on, and is in Plutarch, Arrian, lxx, though the verb is as old as Homer. See Mat 9:16 and Mar 2:21 for distinction between kainos (fresh), neos (new), and palaios (old).

Robertson: Luk 5:36 - He will rend the new

He will rend the new ( kai to kainon schisei ).

Future active indicative. So the best MSS.

Robertson: Luk 5:36 - Will not agree

Will not agree ( ou sumphōnēsei ).

Future active indicative. So the best manuscripts again.

Robertson: Luk 5:36 - With the old

With the old ( tōi palaiōi ).

Associative instrumental case. Instead of this phrase in Luke, Mar 2:21; Mat 9:16 have "a worse rent"(cheiron schisma ).

Vincent: Luk 5:36 - A parable

A parable

" From a garment and from wine, especially appropriate at a banquet" (Bengel).

Vincent: Luk 5:36 - Putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old

Putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old ( ἐπίβλημα ἱματίου καινοῦ ἐπιβάλλει ἐπὶ ἱμάτιον παλαιόν )

The best texts, however, insert σχίσας , having rent, which directly governs ἐπίβλημα , piece; so that the rendering is, No man having rent a piece from, a new garment, putteth it, etc. So Rev., No man tendeth a piece and putteth. Both Matthew and Mark have cloth instead of garment, by the use of which latter term " the incongruity of the proceeding comes more strongly into prominence" (Meyer). ἐπίβλημα , a piece, is, literally, a patch, from ἐπί , upon, and βάλλω , to throw: something clapped on. Compare the kindred verb here, ἐπιβάλλει , putteth upon.

Vincent: Luk 5:36 - The new maketh a rent

The new maketh a rent ( τὸ καινὸν σχίζει )

The best texts read σχίσει , will rend, governing the new, instead of being used intransitively. Render, as Rev., He will rend the new.

Vincent: Luk 5:36 - Agreeth not

Agreeth not ( οὐ συμφωνεῖ )

The best texts read συμφωνήσει , the future; will not agree. So Rev.

In Matthew and Mark there is only a single damage, that, namely, to the old garment, the rent in which is enlarged. In Luke the damage is twofold; first, in injuring the new garment by cutting out a piece; and second, in making the old garment appear patched, instead of widening the rent, as in Matthew and Mark.

Wesley: Luk 5:36 - He spake also a parable

Taken from clothes and wine; therefore peculiarly proper at a feast.

TSK: Luk 5:36 - No man // agreeth

No man : Mat 9:16, Mat 9:17; Mar 2:21, Mar 2:22

agreeth : Lev 19:19; Deu 22:11; 2Co 6:16

Poole: Luk 5:33-39

Ver. 33-39. We have also both in Matthew and Mark met with this piece of history. See Poole on "Mat 9:14" , and following verses to Mat 9:17 ; See Poole on "Mar 2:18" , and following verses to Mar 2:22 . Both Matthew and Mark say, that they were the disciples of John who came, and thus said to our Saviour. In our notes upon the two former evangelists, we have fully opened this piece of history. John the Baptist was of a more severe deportment than our Saviour thought fit to show himself; and complying more with the practices of the Pharisees (though in much more sincerity) in their exercises of discipline, the Pharisees did more easily get his disciples to join with them in this address to our Saviour; though probably John’ s disciples did it more out of infirmity, and the Pharisees out of malice, that they might have whereby to lessen Christ’ s reputation amongst the people: thus weak, though good, men are often drawn in by those who are more subtle and malicious to promote their designs. Besides, we naturally desire to be the standard to all, and that others should take their measures from us, and possibly John’ s disciples might have a little of that envy for their master’ s sake, which we find them sick of, Joh 3:26 . Our Lord, who might have told them that he was to be their exemplar, and not they his, dealeth more gently with them, and gives them sufficient reason why, as yet, he did not inure his disciples to those severer acts of religion:

1. Because this was all the rejoicing time they were like to have. He was now with them; when he should be gone from them, before which it would not be long, they should have time to mourn.

2. That they were but newly entered into his discipleship, and therefore not at first to be discouraged, that they might not have a temptation upon them to leave off as soon as they began. But see the notes more fully upon the same history in Matthew and Mark.

Gill: Luk 5:36 - And he spake also a parable unto them // no man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old // If otherwise, then both the new, maketh the rent // And the piece that was taken out of the new, agreeth not with the old

And he spake also a parable unto them,.... The Scribes and Pharisees; illustrating what he had just now said:

no man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; by "a piece of a new garment" meaning the new and upstart notions and traditions of the elders, which were so in comparison of the law of Moses; and by the "old", the robe of their own righteousness, wrought out in obedience to the moral and ceremonial law: and Christ suggests, that to join these together, in order to patch up a garment of righteousness, to appear in before God, was equally as weak and ridiculous, as to put a piece of new and undressed cloth into a garment that was old, and wore threadbare.

If otherwise, then both the new, maketh the rent; that is, much worse than it was, as it is expressed both in Matthew and Mark; the old and new cloth being unsuitable, and not of equal strength to hold together: by this Christ intimates, that the Jews, by being directed to the observance of the traditions of the elders, were drawn off from a regard to the commandments of God; so that instead of having a better righteousness, they had one much the worse, a ragged, and a rent one.

And the piece that was taken out of the new, agreeth not with the old; and so the statutes of men, and the ordinances of God, or the traditions of the elders, and the commands of God, are no more like one another, than the piece of a new and an old garment, and as unlike is obedience to the one, and to the other;

See Gill on Mat 9:16. See Gill on Mat 9:17. See Gill on Mar 2:21.

See Gill on Mar 2:22 where this, and the following parable, are more largely explained.
