Luc 3:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 3:9

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees,
&c.] Not only to Jesse's family, which as a root in a dry ground, and to Jerusalem, the metropolis of the nation; but to the root of the vain boasting of every Jew; their descent from Abraham, the covenant made with him, their ecclesiastical state and civil polity, all which would quickly be at an end: the Romans were now among them, the axe in God's hand; by means of whom, utter ruin and destruction would be brought upon their nation, city, and temple:

every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire;
(See Gill on Matthew 3:10).

Luc 3:9 In-Context

7 Il disait donc au peuple qui venait pour ĂȘtre baptisĂ© par lui: Race de vipĂšres, qui vous a appris Ă  fuir la colĂšre Ă  venir?
8 Produisez donc des fruits convenables Ă  la repentance; et ne vous mettez point Ă  dire en vous-mĂȘmes: Nous avons Abraham pour pĂšre; car je vous dis que Dieu peut faire naĂźtre de ces pierres des enfants Ă  Abraham.
9 Or, la cognĂ©e est dĂ©jĂ  mise Ă  la racine des arbres. Tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bon fruit va ĂȘtre coupĂ© et jetĂ© au feu.
10 Alors le peuple lui demanda: Que ferons-nous donc?
11 Il leur rĂ©pondit: Que celui qui a deux habits en donne Ă  celui qui n'en a point; et que celui qui a de la nourriture en fasse de mĂȘme.
