Luke 6:38

Luke 6:38

36 ^aTherefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

Do Not Judge

37 ^a“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. ^bForgive, and you will be forgiven.

38 ^aGive, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your ^bbosom. For ^cwith the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39 And He spoke a parable to them: ^a“Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?

40 ^aA disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Luke 6:37

Luke 6:39 >>

Into your bosom - Alluding to the mantles the Jews wore, into which a large quantity of corn might be received. With the same measure that ye mete with, it shall be measured to you again - Amazing goodness! So we are permitted even to carve for ourselves! We ourselves are, as it were, to tell God how much mercy he shall show us! And can we be content with less than the very largest measure? Give then to man, what thou designest to receive of God.
