Luke 6:23

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 6:20-23

There are many that think that what Luke hath in these verses, and so to the end of this chapter, is but a shorter epitome of what Matthew hath in his 5th, 6th, and 7th chapters, and that both Matthew and Luke mean the same sermon preached at the same time. The things which favour this opinion are, 1. That sermon is said to be preached upon a mountain; this, when he came down and stood upon the plain, by which some understand only a plainer and more level part of the mountain. 2. That very many... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 6:20-49

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 6:20-49.—Though various opinions have been held on the subject, the balance of probabilities seems in favour of the supposition that the discourse commonly known as the Sermon on the Mount, recorded by St. Matthew, is given here in a shorter form. It is probable that St. Luke, in placing it after the choice of the twelve apostles, follows chronological order more exactly than St. Matthew, who places it before that event. A strong argument in favour of the identity of the two... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 6:1-49

Chapter 6Now it came to pass on the second Sabbath ( Luke 6:1 )Now He is going to deal with a couple of instances on the Sabbath day. We've been introduced now to the Pharisees; they're beginning to really get into it and trying to find fault with Jesus and condemn Him for the things He is doing. And they condemned Him for eating with the publicans. He, of course, spoke out against their condemnation, telling them, "Hey, you guys belong in the old skins, and so I am just going not try and give... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 6:1-49

Luke 6:1 . On the second sabbath after the first. The Hebrew law is, Leviticus 23:11, on the morrow after the sabbath, the priest shall wave the sheaf east and west, north and south, to denote the universal gratitude which all the earth should pay to heaven for the gift of the harvest. “The Baithuseans,” says Dr. Lightfoot, “contend that the first day of the passover should be on the sabbath, that the offering of the sheaf might fall on the first day of the week. And likewise, that the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:20-49

§ 36. SERMON ON THE MOUNT, Luke 6:20-49 . Matthew 5:1 Luke 7:29. We assume without doubt, what Dr. Nast has at length well proved, that Luke here furnishes the same Sermon on the Mount with Matthew, being a briefer report and less nearly verbatim. The slight difference in arrangement of some of the parts is doubtless owing to the variation in the particular original oral tradition, which Luke may have for the first time reduced to writing, or have received in authentic written form. In order... read more
