Commentary on Luke 12:17

Theological / Devotional

Thought within himself. That is, he considered the matter back and forth. He “reasoned” the matter through to what seemed to him a logical conclusion.

I have no room. Realization of this fact should have led him to think of the many who were in need of the very things that God had bestowed upon him in such abundance. But his selfish interests blinded his eyes to the needs of his fellow men (see on chapter 16:19-31).

Bestow. Literally, “gather together.”
