Barnes New Testament Notes by Albert Barnes

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE - Chapter 11 - Verse 12

Verses 9-12. See Barnes |Mt 7:7, See Barnes |Mt 7:8, See Barnes |Mt 7:9, See Barnes |Mt 7:10, See Barnes |Mt 7:11|

Verse 12. A scorpion. See Barnes |Lu 10:19|.

Dr. Thomson (The Land and the Book, vol. i. p.379) says:

|There is no imaginable likeness between an egg and

the ordinary black scorpion of this country, neither

in colour nor size, nor, when the tail is extended,

in shape; but old writers speak of a white scorpion,

and such a one, with the tail folded up, as in

specimens of fossil trilobites, would not look unlike

a small egg. Perhaps the contrast, however, refers

only to the different properties of the egg and the

scorpion, which is sufficiently emphatic.|

Pliny (N. H., xi.25) says that in Judea the scorpions are about the size of an egg, and not unlike one in shape.
