Gill's Notes on the Bible
Abraham said unto him..... In reply to this his request:
they have Moses and the prophets; that is, their writings; which shows this man, and his five brethren, to be Jews; for to them were the oracles of God committed; and these had the writings of Moses and the prophets read to them every sabbath day; and is true, whether the contemporaries and immediate successors of the Pharisees are meant, or the ten tribes: and also shows, that one view of the parable, is to establish the authority of these writings; see
Luke 16:16 and that it is a peculiar privilege to have them; and that they ought to be attended to and regarded;
let them hear them; for they testified concerning Christ, and concerning the sins of the Jews, and the calamities, both temporal and eternal, that should come upon them; and which, testimony was sufficient to leave them without excuse: and indeed, the word of God, read, explained, and heard, is the ordinary means of conversion, or of bringing men to faith and repentance.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They have Moses - The writings of Moses. The first five books of the Bible.
The prophets - The remainder of the Old Testament. What the prophets had written.
Hear them - Hear them speak in the Scriptures. Read them, or hear them read in the synagogues, and attend to what they have delivered.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 16:29. They have Moses and the prophets — This plainly supposes they were all Jewish believers: they had these writings in their hands, but they did not permit them to influence their lives.
