John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:36

Be ye therefore merciful ,.... Tenderhearted, kind, beneficent to all men, friends and foes: as your Father also is merciful ; that is your Father which is in heaven; who is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works: nothing is more common in Zohar F25 Zohar in Lev. fol. 2. 2. & 9. 4. & 20. 1. & 22. 1. , and the Talmud F26 T. Bab. Moed Katon, fol. 15. 2. than to express the Divine Being by no other name, than "the Merciful"; אמר רחמנא , "the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:37

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged ,.... See Gill on Matthew 7:1 . Condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned ; censure not men's persons, and judge not their state, or adjudge them to condemnation, for every offence in practice, or because they differ in principle, lest you should be treated in like manner by others; and especially, lest you should fall under the righteous censure, judgment, and condemnation of God: forgive ; offences and trespasses committed against you, bear... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:29

Thy cloak - thy coat - In Matthew 5:40 , I have said that Coat, χιτωνα , signifies under garment, or strait coat; and Cloak, ἱματιον , means upper garment, or great coat. This interpretation is confirmed by the following observations of Bishop Pearce. The χιτων was a tunica , or vestcoat, over which the Jews and other nations threw an outer coat, or gown, called a cloak, Matthew 5:40 , (which is meant by ἱματιον ), when they went abroad, or were not at work. Hence the common... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:30

Ask them not again - Or, Do not beg them off. This probably refers to the way in which the tax-gatherers and Roman soldiers used to spoil the people. "When such harpies as these come upon your goods, suffer the injury quietly, leaving yourselves in the hand of God, rather than attempt even to beg off what belongs to you, lest on their part they be provoked to seize or spoil more, and lest you be irritated to sue them at law, which is totally opposite to the spirit and letter of the Gospel;... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:32

For sinners also love those that love them - I believe the word ἁμαρτωλοι is used by St. Luke in the same sense in which τελωναι , tax-gatherers, is used by St. Matthew, Matthew 5:46 , Matthew 5:47 , and signifies heathens; not only men who have no religion, but men who acknowledge none. The religion of Christ not only corrects the errors and reforms the disorders of the fallen nature of man, but raises it even above itself: it brings it near to God; and, by universal love, leads it... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:34

Of whom ye hope to receive - Or, whom ye expect to return it. "To make our neighbor purchase, in any way, the assistance which we give him, is to profit by his misery; and, by laying him under obligations which we expect him in some way or other to discharge, we increase his wretchedness under the pretense of relieving it." read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:35

Love ye your enemies - This is the most sublime precept ever delivered to man: a false religion durst not give a precept of this nature, because, with out supernatural influence, it must be for ever impracticable. In these words of our blessed Lord we see the tenderness, sincerity, extent, disinterestedness, pattern, and issue of the love of God dwelling in man: a religion which has for its foundation the union of God and man in the same person, and the death of this august being for his... read more

Adam Clarke

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

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

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
