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.  
41 aAnd why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye?  
42 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit

43 a“For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.  
44 For aevery tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Luke 6:38   Luke 6:40 >>


Luke 6:39

He spake a parable - Our Lord sometimes used parables when he knew plain and open declarations would too much inflame the passions of his hearers. It is for this reason he uses this parable, Can the blind lead the blind? - Can the scribes teach this way, which they know not themselves? Will not they and their scholars perish together? Can they make their disciples any better than themselves? But as for those who will be my disciples, they shall be all taught of God; who will enable them to come to the measure of the stature of the fulness of their Master. Be not ye like their disciples, censuring others, and not amending yourselves. Matthew 15:14.
