Lukas 9:26

26 Wer sich aber mein und meiner Worte schämt, des wird sich des Menschen Sohn auch schämen, wenn er kommen wird in seiner Herrlichkeit und seines Vaters und der heiligen Engel.

Lukas 9:26 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:26

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me
Of my person and offices, of me, as the Messiah, Saviour, and Redeemer, of my grace, righteousness, blood, and sacrifice:

and of my words;
of the doctrines of the Gospel, one and another of them. In Mark, it is added, "in this adulterous and sinful generation"; having a peculiar respect to the people of the Jews, and the age in which Christ lived; but is true of any other people and age in which men live:

of him shall the son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his own
glory;
in the glory of his human nature, when his glorious body, as now, in heaven, shall be seen by all; and in the glory of his office, as mediator, and the judge of all the earth; and in the glory of his divine nature, which will appear in the resurrection of the dead, in the gathering of all nations before him, in separating one sort from another, and in passing and executing the definitive sentence on them; particularly the glory of his omnipotence and omniscience will be very conspicuous:

and in his Father's;
which is the same with his own, as he is the Son of God, and the brightness of his glory; and which, as mediator, he has from him, and will be the object of the saints' vision to all eternity;

and of the holy angels;
who shall attend him at his second coming, and be employed in various offices under him. The Syriac version renders, these last clauses as they are in ( Matthew 16:27 ) ( Mark 8:38 ) in the glory of his Father, with his holy angels; (See Gill on Matthew 16:27). (See Gill on Mark 8:38).

Lukas 9:26 In-Context

24 Denn wer sein Leben erhalten will, der wird es verlieren; wer aber sein Leben verliert um meinetwillen, der wird's erhalten.
25 Und welchen Nutzen hätte der Mensch, ob er die ganze Welt gewönne, und verlöre sich selbst oder beschädigte sich selbst?
26 Wer sich aber mein und meiner Worte schämt, des wird sich des Menschen Sohn auch schämen, wenn er kommen wird in seiner Herrlichkeit und seines Vaters und der heiligen Engel.
27 Ich sage euch aber wahrlich, daß etliche sind von denen, die hier stehen, die den Tod nicht schmecken werden, bis daß sie das Reich Gottes sehen.
28 Und es begab sich nach diesen Reden bei acht Tagen, daß er zu sich nahm Petrus, Johannes und Jakobus und ging auf einen Berg, zu beten.
