Luke 6:20

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. AND HE LIFTED UP HIS EYES ON HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID. Referring to our ample comments on the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1; Matthew 6:1; Matthew 7:1), we here only note a few things suggested by the present form of the discourse, winch could not be so properly taken up under the other form of it. BLESSED BE YE POOR: FOR YOURS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD....

20-26 Here begins a discourse of Christ, most of which is also found in Luke 6:5; Luke 6:7. But some think that this was preached at another time and place. All believers that take the precepts of the gospel to themselves, and live by them, may take the promises of the gospel to themselves, and live upon them. Woes are denounced against prosperous sinners as miserable people, though the world envies them. Those are blessed indeed whom Christ blesses, but those must be dreadfully miserable who fall under his woe and curse! What a vast advantage will the saint have over the sinner in the other world! and what a wide difference will there be in their rewards, how much soever the sinner may prosper, and the saint be afflicted here!...

Verse Luke 6:20. _BLESSED_ BE YE _POOR_] See the sermon on the mount paraphrased and explained, Matthew 5:11, Matthew 5:7. Matthew 5:1,ffLuke 11:1ff, Matthew 7:1ff....

See this passage fully illustrated in the sermon on the mount, in Matt. 5–7. Luke 6:21 THAT HUNGER NOW - Matthew has it, “that hunger and thirst after righteousness.” Matthew has expressed more fully what Luke has briefly, but there is no contradiction. Luke 6:24 These verses have been omitted by Matthew. They seem to have been spoken to the Pharisees. WHO ARE RICH - In this world’s goods. They loved them; they had sought for them; they found their consolation in them. It implies, farther, that they would not seek or receive consolation from the gospel. They were proud, and would not seek it; satisfied, and did not desire it; filled with cares, and had no tim

EXPOSITION LUKE 6:1 _The Lord_'_s teaching on the question of the observance of the sabbath._ LUKE 6:1 AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE SECOND SABBATH AFTER THE FIRST. The expression accompanying this note of time of St. Luke, "the second sabbath after the first," more literally, "the second-first sabbath," has always been a difficulty with expositors of this Gospel. The word is absolutely unique, and is found in no other Greek author. Recent investigations in the text of the New Testament have proved that this word is not found in the majority of the more ancient authorities. Of the modern critical editors, Alford and Lachmann enclose the disputed word in brackets; Tregelles and Meyer omit it altogether; but the Revisers of the En

AND HE LIFTED UP HIS EYES ON HIS DISCIPLES,.... Either the whole company of them, or rather the twelve apostles, whom he saw coming to him, and fixing his eyes on them, he sat, AND SAID; what follows, with many other things recorded by Matthew: BLESSED BE YE POOR; not only in the things of this world, having left all for Christ, but poor in Spirit, as in Matthew 5:3, Matthew 5:3: FOR YOURS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD; or heaven, so in Matthew 5:3....

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; Luke 6:34 f. only) is not found in Mt. There are also differences of arrangement. LUKE 6:20. BEATITUDES AND WOES (Matthew 5:1 *). In place of eight blessings we have in Lk. four (shorter) blessings and four contrasted woes; in Lk. Jesus does not qualify the poor (or the hungry); they are, as with the Psalmist, the righteous, and will have their innings in the
