Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:20-26

The choices of disciples 6:20-26Matthew recorded nine beatitudes, but Luke included only four. Matthew gave no woes, but Luke recorded four. The four beatitudes precede the four woes, and the beatitudes parallel the woes in thought. The beatitudes are positive and the woes correspondingly negative (cf. Psalms 1; Isaiah 5:8-23).Two types of disciples are in view throughout this section of the sermon, the poor and oppressed and the rich and popular. The first type can anticipate God satisfying... 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 6:21

Following Jesus as His disciple also involved feeling hungry occasionally. However, Jesus promised ultimate satisfaction to those who chose discipleship. To those less fortunate, discipleship then and now sometimes involved and involves giving away some money that one might use for food. Sometimes students preparing for ministry have to live on meager rations to pay other bills associated with their commitment to study God’s Word and serve Him.Likewise discipleship involves weeping and sorrow,... 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 6:12

(12) He went out into a mountain to pray.—Better, into the mountain, or, the hill-country. The stress laid on the prayers of Jesus is again characteristic of St. Luke.Continued all night in prayer to God.—The original, at least, admits of another rendering. The word translated “prayer” (proseuchè) had come to be applied to the place dedicated to prayer—the chapel or oratory by the river-side, or on the mountain-side, where there was a running stream available for ablutions, to which devout Jews... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 6:13

(13) And when it was day.—In the place which he assigns to the choice of the Twelve, St. Luke agrees more closely with St. Mark than with St. Matthew, who makes it precede the narratives of the disciples plucking the ears of corn, and the healing of the withered hand, which here it follows. A precisely-harmonised arrangement seems here impossible, and is, happily, unimportant. We must be content to admit the possibility, whether accidental or intentional, of one or other of the Gospels,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 6:14-16

(14-16) Simon, (whom he also named Peter).—For the list of the Twelve Apostles see Notes on Matthew 10:2.The only special points in St. Luke’s list are (1) that he gives Simon Zelotes, obviously as a translation, for Simon the Cananite, or Cananæan, of the other two lists, and gives James’s Judas, leaving it uncertain whether he means that the latter was son or brother of the former. His use of the same formula in the genealogy of Luke 3:0 is in favour of the former relationship. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 6:17

(17) And he came down with them, and stood in the plain.—We are again confronted with harmonistic difficulties. In St. Matthew (Matthew 10:0) the mission of the Twelve is followed by a full discourse on their Apostolic work and its perils. Here it is followed by a discourse which has so many points of resemblance with the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:6, Matthew 5:7, that many have supposed it to be identical. It is a partial explanation of the difficulty that St. Mark and St. Luke... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 6:19

(19) There went virtue out of him.—The use of the term “virtue” (or power) in this technical sense is peculiar to St. Luke, and may be noted as characteristic of the medical Evangelist. (Comp. Introduction.) read more
