The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 6:25

Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger . This saying points to men who used their wealth for self-indulgence, for the mere gratification of the senses. "The fulness," writes Dean Plumptre, "is the satiety of over-indulgence." Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. These are they who, proudly self-satisfied, dreamed that they needed nothing, neither repentance in themselves nor forgiveness from God—a character too faithfully represented in the self-satisfied,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 6:26

Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! Dean Plumptre, with great force, remarks that these words "open a wide question as to the worth of praise as a test of human conduct, and tend to a conclusion quite the reverse of that implied in the maxim, Vox populi, vox Dei. " So did their fathers to the false prophets. A good instance of this is found in 1 Kings 18:19 , where Queen Jezebel honours the false prophets. See, too, King Ahab's conduct to such men ( 1 Kings... read more

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 6:28

Pray for them which despitefully use you . Jesus himself, on his cross, when he prayed that his murderers might be forgiven, for they knew not what they were doing, and his true servant Stephen, who copied faithfully his Lord in his own dying moments, are beautiful though extreme examples of what is meant here. It is St. Luke alone who mentions this act of Jesus on the cross; it is St. Luke, again, who has preserved St. Stephen's words, uttered while they were stoning him to death. He... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 6:29

And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other. This and the following direction is clothed in language of Eastern. picturesqueness, to drive home to the listening crowds the great and novel truths he was urging upon them. No reasonable, thoughtful man would feel himself bound to the letter of these commandments. Our Lord, for instance, himself did not offer himself to be stricken again ( John 18:22 , John 18:23 ), but firmly, though with exquisite courtesy,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 6:30

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again . Here, again, it is clear that faithfully to cling to the literal interpretation would be utterly to ignore the true spirit of the Lord's words here, where he sets forth his sublime ideal of a charity which ignores its own rights and knows no limits to its self-sacrifice. Augustine quaintly suggests that in the words themselves will be found the limitation required. "'Give to every man,' but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 6:31

The golden rule. We call this precept of Christ "the golden rule;" probably we intend thereby to pay it the highest honour we can offer it. But it is the "precious metal," rather than the admirable precept, to which the compliment is paid by the association of the two. For if this rule of our Lord were only illustrated in the daily life of men, they would be enriched as no imaginable quantity of gold could enrich them. Then would such a revolution be effected as no statesman has ever... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 6:20-49

See this passage fully illustrated in the sermon on the mount, in Matt. 5–7.Luke 6:21That hunger now - Matthew has it, “that hunger and thirst after righteousness.” Matthew has expressed more fully what Luke has briefly, but there is no contradiction.Luke 6:24-26These verses have been omitted by Matthew. They seem to have been spoken to the Pharisees.Who are rich - In this world’s goods. They loved them; they had sought for them; they found their consolation in them. It implies, farther, that... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 6:24-25

Luke 6:24-25. But wo, &c. Here we see that this discourse differs very materially from the sermon on the mount; there our Lord pronounced blessings only, here he denounces curses; or, to speak more properly, he compassionately bewails the condition of persons of a contrary character to that of those pronounced happy in the preceding verses. For, as Grotius justly observes, the expression, ουαι υμιν , wo unto you, “vox est dolentis, non irâ incensi,” is the expression of one... read more

Luke 6:26. Wo unto you Miserable are you; when all men speak well of you Because such universal applause is not to be gained without sinful compliances. “For,” as Dr. Whitby observes, “he that will be pleasing to all must speak things grateful to all, and do what they like; now that cannot be good which is grateful to bad men: thus the false prophets, whom the Jews commended, spake to them smooth things, and prophesied lies, because the people loved to have it so; they prophesied of... read more
