Luke 12:13

Verse 13. The inheritance. This man might think, that Jesus being the Messias, would act like a king and a judge. Witham.—Speak to my brother, and so forth See in this the spirit of this world, at the very time Jesus is teaching disinterestedness, and the contempt of riches, he is interrupted by a man, who begs him to interfere in a temporal concern: deaf to every thing else, this man can think of his temporal interest only. Calmet.—He begged half an inheritance on earth; the Lord offered him a whole one in heaven: he gave him more than he asked for. Saint Augustine
