Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:12-49

C. Jesus’ teaching of His disciples 6:12-49Luke gave his readers an overview of Jesus’ ministry (Luke 4:14 to Luke 5:11) and then presented His relationship to His opponents (Luke 5:12 to Luke 6:11). Next he described Jesus’ relationship with His disciples (Luke 6:12-49). He arranged his material to identify the disciples first, and then he summarized what Jesus taught them.There is some similarity between Luke’s narrative and the account of Moses ascending Mt. Sinai when he received the law... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:20-49

3. The Sermon on the Mount 6:20-49Luke’s version of this important address, primarily aimed at Jesus’ disciples, is much shorter than Matthew’s (Matthew 5:3 to Matthew 7:29). Matthew’s account contains 137 verses whereas Luke’s has 30. Both accounts begin with beatitudes, contain the same general content, and end with the same parables. However, Luke edited out the teachings that have distinctively Jewish appeal, specifically Jesus’ interpretations of the Mosaic Law, the "legal matters." These... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:27-38

The conduct of disciples 6:27-38 (cf. Matthew 5:43-48; 7:1-2)Jesus’ explanation of the importance of true righteousness was the heart of the Sermon on the Mount as Matthew narrated it (Matthew 5:17 to Matthew 7:12). The need of love is the heart of this sermon according to Luke. Matthew reported that Jesus spoke of true righteousness in relation to three things: the Scriptures (Matthew 5:17-48), the Father (Matthew 6:1-18), and the world (Matthew 6:19 to Matthew 7:12). Luke omitted Jesus’... read more

Jesus next compared the courtesies that non-disciples extend to others with those that His disciples should extend. He proceeded from the general concept of loving (Luke 6:32) to the more concrete expression of it as doing good (Luke 6:33) to the specific example of lending (Luke 6:34). His point was that disciples should not only love their enemies but also love and express their love to their friends more than other people do.The seven actions that Jesus commanded in Luke 6:27-31 are the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:1-49

Choice of the Twelve. Sermon in the Plain1-5. Plucking the ears of corn (Matthew 12:1; Mark 2:23). See on Mt and Mk.1. On the second sabbath after the first] Gk. deuteroprôton, lit. ’second-first.’ There is considerable ground for omitting this obscure expression as interpolated, and reading simply, ’on a sabbath,’ with the RV. If, however, it is genuine, it probably means, ’on the second sabbath after the waving of the sheaf on the second day of the Passover festival’ (see Leviticus 23:1-15).... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 6:34

(34) If ye lend to them . . .—This special illustration of the law of unselfish kindness is in this collocation peculiar to St. Luke; but it is implied in the precept of Matthew 5:42.To receive as much again.—It is noticeable, as implying that the precepts were given in the first instance to Jewish hearers, that receiving interest on the loan is not contemplated at all. (See Note on Matthew 5:42.) read more

Luke 6:8 Of Zelter, as architect and musician, Goethe once remarked that 'as soon as he enters a city, the buildings stand before him, and tell him their merits and their faults. Then the musical societies receive him at once, and show themselves to the master with their virtues and their defects.' Luke 6:10 After some time I went to a meeting at Arne-side, where Richard Myer was, who had been long lame of one of his arms. I was moved of the Lord to say unto him, amongst all the people, 'Stand... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 6:20-49

7Chapter 22THE ETHICS OF THE GOSPEL.WHATEVER of truth there may be in the charge of "other-worldliness," as brought against the modern exponents of Christianity, such a charge could not even be whispered against its Divine Founder. It is just possible that the Church had been gazing too steadfastly up into heaven, and that she had not been studying the science of the "Humanities" as zealously as she ought, and as she has done since; but Jesus did not allow even heavenly things to obliterate or... read more
