This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 12:54. Καὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις, also to the multitudes) For He had spoken the former words to the apostles. See Luk 12:42, note. The imitators of Christ ought to submit even to division (διαμερισμὸν, Luk 12:51) for the sake of His name: whereas the multitude, being void of the influence of that heavenly motive, ought to seek after peace as their chief aim. In the case of the people, quarrels are an impediment to the entrance of grace. See Luk 12:58.-ἀπὸ δυσμῶν, from the west [the setting of the sun]) The sea was on the west of the Jews: whence rain arose from that quarter.-εὐθέως, straightway) without hesitation or doubt.
