Luke 6:48

37-49 All these sayings Christ often used; it was easy to apply them. We ought to be very careful when we blame others; for we need allowance ourselves. If we are of a giving and a forgiving spirit, we shall ourselves reap the benefit. Though full and exact returns are made in another world, not in this world, yet Providence does what should encourage us in doing good. Those who follow the multitude to do evil, follow in the broad way that leads to destruction. The tree is known by its fruits; may the word of Christ be so grafted in our hearts, that we may be fruitful in every good word and work. And what the mouth commonly speaks, generally agrees with what is most in the heart. Those only make sure work for their souls and eternity, and take the course that will profit in a trying time, who think, speak, and act according to the words of Christ. Those who take pains in religion, found...

Verse Luke 6:48. _HE IS LIKE A MAN_, c.] See on Matthew 7:24....

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

HE IS LIKE A MAN WHICH BUILT AN HOUSE,.... That is, intended to build one, having drawn the scheme of it in his mind, and provided materials, and fixed upon the spot of ground: AND DIGGED DEEP, AND LAID THE FOUNDATION ON A ROCK; that is, he dug deep in the earth, till he came at a rock, and there, and then, he laid the foundation of his house; in which he acted the part of a wise man, as he is called in Matthew: so a sensible sinner, desirous of building his soul, and the salvation of it, on a sure bottom, digs deep into the Scriptures, diligently searches them, till he finds out the scheme of salvation by Christ; which lies deep in God's counsel and covenant, was ordained before the world began, and was hid in God till revealed in the Gospel: and finding Christ to be the rock of ages, in whom is everlasting strength, and the foundation which God has laid, nor is there another; he makes...

LUKE 6:48 dia. to. kalw/j oivkodomh/sqai auvth,n {A} The distinctively Lukan clause assigning the reason for the permanence of the house (“because it had been well built”), which corresponds to the earlier statement concerning the builder’s industry (“dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock”), was supplanted by copyists who preferred the reason given by Matthew (“for it was founded upon the rock,” Matthew 7:25). The omission of the clause in several witnesses (î45vid 700 syrs) is the result of accidental oversight occasioned by homoeoteleuton (auvth.n … auvth,n)....

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
