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

Luke 6:20-Ephesians : . The Sermon on the Level Place.— This is much briefer than Matthew 5-7. The sections in Mt. that illustrate the fulfilment of the Law are omitted; more stress is laid on love and mercy. Other parallels with Mt.’ s Sermon are found elsewhere in Lk.; very little of Lk.’ s Sermon ( Luke 6:24-Ezekiel :, Luke 6:34 f. only) is not found in Mt. There are also differences of arrangement. Luke 6:20-Ezekiel : . Beatitudes and Woes ( Matthew 5:1-2 Kings : *).— In place of eight... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:27-36

Luke 6:27-Zephaniah : . The Love of Enemies ( Matthew 5:39-Galatians : *, Matthew 7:12 *).— While Mt.’ s main point is the contrast between legal and true righteousness, Lk.’ s main point is that true righteousness is love; he contrasts the spirit of selfishness with the spirit of love. Luke 6:27 f. is fuller than Matthew 5:44 and is put in the forefront. Note the differences from Mt. in Luke 6:29 b (robbery instead of lawsuit) and Luke 6:30 b. These injunctions seem primarily in keeping... read more

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 6:24

Not because you are rich, but because you are not rich towards God, because you look upon your riches as your portion, as your consolation; or, you that are rich in the opinion of your own righteousness. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 6:25

Our Saviour must be understood, either of those who are sinfully full, or at least such as are spiritually empty; those that are full are opposed to those that hunger. If we take hunger for a hungering and thirsting after righteousness, as Matthew speaks, those that are full are such as are filled with wind, a high opinion of their own righteousness. If we take hunger for a want of the necessaries of this life, then fullness signifieth either a sinfulness with drink, or meat, or ill gotten... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 6:26

A good report of all, even those that are without, is a desirable thing, and what all good men ought to labour for, both by avoiding any just occasion of their speaking ill of them, and by doing all the acts of kindness and charity that may commend religion to them. But the world is so corrupt, that usually none are worse spoken of than the best men. And this is true of no sort of men more than of the ministers of the gospel; neither the prophets of old, nor John the Baptist, nor Christ, nor... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 6:27-29

We met also with a passage much like this in this verse, Matthew 5:39,Matthew 5:40, the general sense of which was, as I then said, a prohibition of private revenge. It is therefore there prefaced in with a more general precept, Resist not evil. But besides this, there seems to be in it also a prohibition of vexatious suits and molestations of others, though under a colour of law; therefore Matthew saith, If any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy cloak; and it may be thought a more... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 6:30

Matthew hath much the same passage, only he saith, Give to him that, &c., not to every man that asketh of thee; and for the latter clause, he hath, from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away, which seems more agreeing to the precept. Deuteronomy 15:8. These precepts of our Saviour must be interpreted, not according to the strict sense of the words, as if every man were by them obliged, without regard to his own abilities, or the circumstances of the persons begging or asking of... 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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 6:26

Luke 6:26 The Dangers of Praise. I. It is more than probable that, if men speak well of you, their judgment of you is fallacious; you do not deserve it. "In the like manner did their fathers unto the false prophets." Men are fallible judges of one another's real character. II. However fallacious the popular estimate, it has a direct tendency to carry us along with it. We naturally adopt other men's judgments, as upon other subjects, so also upon this, our own character. III. And then follow... read more
