John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:28

Bless them that curse you ;.... In common discourse, or anathematize you in their synagogues: and pray for them which despitefully use you : so Christ himself did; See Gill on Matthew 5:44 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:29

And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek ,.... The right cheek, offer also the other ; the left cheek, by turning it to him, that he may smite that likewise, if he thinks fit: by which proverbial expression, Christ teaches patience in bearing injuries and affronts, and not to seek private revenge; but rather, suffer more, than indulge such a temper; and for the same purpose is what follows urged: and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also : the phrase... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:30

And give to every man that asketh ,.... See Gill on Matthew 5:42 . And of him that taketh away thy goods ; not by force, but by consent, having either lent them, or sold them to him: for if they were taken away by force, the person so taking them was to be deemed a thief and a robber, and to be treated as such; but one that takes them by agreement, and is not able to make a return of them, or to give a valuable consideration for them, of such an one ask them not again: do not exact or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:31

And as ye would that men should do to you ,.... In matters of justice and beneficence were they in your case, and you in theirs; do ye also to them likewise : a golden rule this, agreeably to the light of nature, and divine revelation, and is the sum and substance of the law and prophets; See Gill on Matthew 7:12 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:32

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? .... Or, "what grace have ye?" this is no fruit, nor evidence of grace, nor any exercise of the true grace of love; nor is it any favour conferred upon the object loved, which deserves the respect shown, nor can any reward be expected for such treatment: and thus it is expressed in Matthew, "what reward have ye?" and the Arabic version renders it so here: for sinners also love those who love them : men that are destitute of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:33

And if ye do good to them which do good to you ,.... As one good turn deserves another: what thank have ye? what grace or goodness is there in such an action? what glory or merit is there in it? for sinners also do even the same : wherefore no man should conclude himself a righteous man, or better than sinners, on such an account: this is to be found among the worst of men, and is natural to them, unless they are brutes indeed, to be kind to such as are kind to them. And yet, this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:34

And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive ,.... The same again, as from their brethren the Jews; or usury, as from the Gentiles: what thank have ye ? and yet they looked upon this, in the first instance of it, as a very great kindness, and act of goodness, as appears from the above citation: for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again ; or "what is equal", and answerable to what they have lent them; that is, the same, or what is equivalent to it. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:22

They shall separate you - Meaning, They will excommunicate you, αφορισωσιν ὑμας , or separate you from their communion. Luke having spoken of their separating or excommunicating them, continues the same idea, in saying that they would cast out their name likewise, as a thing evil in itself. By your name is meant their name as his disciples. As such, they were sometimes called Nazarenes, and sometimes Christians; and both these names were matter of reproach in the mouths of their enemies.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:24-26

But wo unto you that are rich! - The Pharisees, who were laden with the spoils of the people which they received in gifts, etc. These three verses are not found in the sermon, as recorded by Matthew. They seem to be spoken chiefly to the scribes and Pharisees, who, in order to be pleasing to all, spoke to every one what he liked best; and by finesse, flattery, and lies, found out the method of gaining and keeping the good opinion of the multitude. read more
