Luke 6:35

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:27-36

Luke 6:27-Zephaniah : . The Love of Enemies ( Matthew 5:39-Galatians : *, Matthew 7:12 *).— While Mt.’ s main point is the contrast between legal and true righteousness, Lk.’ s main point is that true righteousness is love; he contrasts the spirit of selfishness with the spirit of love. Luke 6:27 f. is fuller than Matthew 5:44 and is put in the forefront. Note the differences from Mt. in Luke 6:29 b (robbery instead of lawsuit) and Luke 6:30 b. These injunctions seem primarily in keeping... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 6:35-36

I know not how to agree, what I find many interpreters judging, that this text is a prohibition of usury. I should rather interpret it more largely, as a command for acts of mercy, with respect to the circumstances of persons, obliging us not to withhold a charitable hand, from our fear that if we lend we shall lose what we lend, and obliging us, that if we find the circumstances of any that desireth us to lend him for his necessity such a quantity of money or goods as we can spare, and we can... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 6:20-49

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 6:20-49.—Though various opinions have been held on the subject, the balance of probabilities seems in favour of the supposition that the discourse commonly known as the Sermon on the Mount, recorded by St. Matthew, is given here in a shorter form. It is probable that St. Luke, in placing it after the choice of the twelve apostles, follows chronological order more exactly than St. Matthew, who places it before that event. A strong argument in favour of the identity of the two... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 6:1-49

Chapter 6Now it came to pass on the second Sabbath ( Luke 6:1 )Now He is going to deal with a couple of instances on the Sabbath day. We've been introduced now to the Pharisees; they're beginning to really get into it and trying to find fault with Jesus and condemn Him for the things He is doing. And they condemned Him for eating with the publicans. He, of course, spoke out against their condemnation, telling them, "Hey, you guys belong in the old skins, and so I am just going not try and give... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 6:1-49

Luke 6:1 . On the second sabbath after the first. The Hebrew law is, Leviticus 23:11, on the morrow after the sabbath, the priest shall wave the sheaf east and west, north and south, to denote the universal gratitude which all the earth should pay to heaven for the gift of the harvest. “The Baithuseans,” says Dr. Lightfoot, “contend that the first day of the passover should be on the sabbath, that the offering of the sheaf might fall on the first day of the week. And likewise, that the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 6:35

Luke 6:35And ye shall be the children of the HighestThe Christian aim and motive1st.The Christian aim--perfection. 2nd. The Christian motive--because it is right and Godlike to be perfect. I. THE CHRISTIAN AIM IS THIS--to be perfect. “Be ye therefore perfect.” Now distinguish this, I pray you, from mere worldly morality. It is not conformity to a creed that is here required, but aspiration after a state. It is not demanded of us to perform a number of duties, but to yield obedience to a certain... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 6:35

35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Ver. 35. Lend, hoping for nothing ] No, not the principal, in case thy brother be not able to repay it.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:20-49

§ 36. SERMON ON THE MOUNT, Luke 6:20-49 . Matthew 5:1 Luke 7:29. We assume without doubt, what Dr. Nast has at length well proved, that Luke here furnishes the same Sermon on the Mount with Matthew, being a briefer report and less nearly verbatim. The slight difference in arrangement of some of the parts is doubtless owing to the variation in the particular original oral tradition, which Luke may have for the first time reduced to writing, or have received in authentic written form. In order... read more
