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

Luke 6:32-34For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye?--The heroic in ChristianityOur Master, evidently, from the verses before us, did not come into the world to teach us to conform to the ways of our fellow-men; but He would have us go far beyond the ordinary conduct of our fellows. If I were called to address an ordinary company of men and women upon feats of valour, I might speak with bated breath if I exhorted them to heroism in war; but if I had lived some thousands of years... read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Luke 6:32

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.It is greatly observable, our Lord has so little regard for one of the highest instances of natural virtue, namely, the returning love for love, that he does not account it even to deserve thanks. For even sinners, saith he, do the same: men who do not regard God at all. Therefore he may do this, who has not taken one step in Christianity. read more

Daniel Whedon

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
