ルカの福音書 6:27-38 JCB

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:36

Be ye therefore merciful - Or, compassionate; οικτιρμονες , from οικτος , commiseration, which etymologists derive from εικω to give place, yield, because we readily concede those things which are necessary to them whom we commiserate. As God is ever disposed to give all necessary help and support to those who are miserable, so his followers, being influenced by the same spirit, are easy to be entreated, and are at all times ready to contribute to the uttermost of their power to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:37

Judge not - See on Matthew 7:1 ; (note). "How great is the goodness of God, in being so willing to put our judgment into our own hands as to engage himself not to enter into judgment with us, provided we do not usurp the right which belongs solely to him in reference to others!" Condemn not - " Mercy will ever incline us not to condemn those unmercifully whose faults are certain and visible; to lessen, conceal, and excuse them as much as we can without prejudice to truth and justice;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:38

Give, and it shall be given - " Christian charity will make no difficulty in giving that which eternal truth promises to restore. Let us give, neither out of mere human generosity, nor out of vanity, nor from interest, but for the sake of God, if we would have him place it to account. There is no such thing as true unmixed generosity but in God only; because there is none but him who receives no advantage from his gifts, and because he engages himself to pay these debts of his creatures with... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:30

Verse 30 Luke 6:30.To every one that asketh of thee. The same words, as we shall presently see, are found in Matthew: for it may readily be inferred from the context, that Luke does not here speak of a request to obtain assistance, but of actions at law, which bad men raise for the purpose of carrying off the property of others. From him who takes away what are thine, ask them not again. If it is thought better to read the two clauses separately, I have no objection: and then it will be an... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:35

Verse 35 Luke 6:35.Lend, expecting nothing again. It is a mistake to confine this statement to usury, as if Christ only forbade his people to be usurers. The preceding part of the discourse shows clearly, that it has a wider reference. After having explained what wicked men are wont to do, — to love their friends, — to assist those from whom they expect some compensations, — to lend to persons like themselves, that they may afterwards receive the like from them, — Christ proceeds to show how... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:37

Verse 37 Luke 6:37.Forgive, and it shall be forgiven to you. Give, and it shall be given to you. This promise, which is added by Luke, means, that the Lord will cause him, who is indulgent, kind, and just to his brethren, to experience the same gentleness from others, and to be treated by them in a generous and friendly manner. Yet it frequently happens, that the children of God receive the very worst reward, and are oppressed by many unjust slanders; and that, to when they have injured no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 6:12-49

The foundation of the kingdom. The work set before us in this portion is great and solemn. It is the beginning of a new epoch of the earthly ministry. Hitherto Christ had been the Rabbi, the Prophet, the Healer. Now he is to "gird his sword on his thigh," to take to himself the power of the King. And for this work observe the preparation mentioned by the evangelist ( Luke 6:12 , Luke 6:13 ), "All night in prayer to God." The hush breathed over nature; the silence unbroken except by the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 6:20-49

St. Luke ' s report of the discourse of our Lord commonly termed the sermon on the mount. We consider that the discourse contained in the following thirty verses (20-49) is identical with that longer "sermon on the mount" reported by St. Matthew (5.). Certain differences are alleged to exist in the framework of the two discourses. In St. Matthew the Lord is stated to have spoken it on the mountain; in St. Luke, in the plain. This apparent discrepancy has been already discussed (see... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 6:20-49

The Legislator on the mount. We have seen how, after a whole night spent in prayer, our Lord proceeded to the important work of selecting his apostles. In this way he organized his kingdom. And now, having healed all who needed healing, and had been brought or had come to him, he has the ground cleared for legislative work. From this mountain-top in Galilee he publishes the laws of the kingdom, and thus gives to the world such a high-toned morality as has not been surpassed or superseded... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 6:27-35

Seeking the highest good from the highest motive. In these words our Lord commends to us— I. THE HIGHEST CONCEIVABLE MORAL EXCELLENCE . There are four gradations by which we may ascend from the devilish to the Divine, in spirit and in character. 1 . We may hate those who love us. There are bad men bad enough, like enough to the evil one himself, to positively hate those who are trying to redeem them, who repay the devoted efforts of their truest friends with sneers and... read more
