Lukas 6


Luke 6:7

The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him.

Accuse him. Accusations against you will typically come from three sources: (1) the Accuser, a.k.a. Satan (see indgang for Rev. 12:10), (2) law-lovers who are opposed to grace (see indgang for Matt. 12:10), and (3) a conscience that is mindful of the law (Rom. 2:15). What these three things have in common is an affinity for using the law as a weapon of condemnation.


Luke 6:13

And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles:

Apostles. An apostle is someone one “sent out” as a messenger for God. Originally the word was applied to the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus (Matt. 10:2). But in the early church, others came to be recognized as apostles (e.g., Andronicus and Junias; Rom. 16:7). In a sense, we are all called to be God’s messengers or ambassadors (2 Cor. 5:20). But in the church, some are uniquely gifted and called to be apostles (1 Cor. 12:28-29). Paul was a stellar example of an apostle and displayed all the signs of an authentic apostle, namely signs and wonders and miracles (2 Cor. 12:12).


Luke 6:15

and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot;

Simon was a common Biblical name. Since there were two disciples named Simon, they were distinguished as Simon Peter (Luke 5:8) and Simon the zealot. In addition, the New Testament names seven other Simons including Simon the step-brother of Jesus (Matt. 13:55), Simon the leper (Matt. 26:6), Simon of Cyrene (Matt. 27:32), Simon the Pharisee (Luke 7:36–40), Simon, the father of Judas Iscariot (John 13:2), Simon the sorcerer (Acts 8:9), and Simon the tanner (Acts 10:6).


Lukas 6:23

"Glæd dig på den dag og spring af glæde, for se, din belønning er stor i himlen. For på samme måde plejede deres fædre at behandle profeterne.

Din belønning er stor i himlen; se indgang for Matt. 6:1.


Lukas 6:35

"Men elsk dine fjender, og gør godt og lån ud, uden at forvente noget til gengæld; og din løn skal være stor, og du skal være den Højestes sønner; thi han er selv god mod utaknemmelige og onde mennesker.

(en) Gør det godt. Når Jesus fortæller os at elske vores fjender i håbet om en stor belønning, er belønningen, at vores fjender bliver evige venner. Vi samler skatte i himlen og tjener en stor belønning og får evige venner ved at gøre godt mod andre. "Lån, forventer intet til gengæld." At give til de utaknemmelige uden tanke på tilbagebetaling er at vise nåde. Det afslører den ufortjente gunst fra en god Gud, hvis bedste er bedre end vores værste, og som ikke har noget imod os.

(b) Din belønning vil være stor. Du vil have skatte i himlen.

Flere former for belønning er nævnt i skriften. Der er belønningen for evigt liv, der kommer af at stole på Jesus (se indgang for Matt. 16:27). And there is the reward or wage we get in accordance for our labor (see indgang for 1 Cor. 3:14). It is the second type of reward Jesus is talking about here. What is the reward? It’s people – eternal friends and spiritual offspring.

Se indgang for evige belønninger.

(c) I skal være den Højestes sønner. When we give generously of ourselves expecting nothing in return, we are acting in a Christlike manner. We are revealing the spirit of Christ who loved his enemies and did good without expecting anything in return. When we shine with the light of Christ, it brings praise to our Father in heaven (Matt. 5:16).

The wrong way to read this verse is to think philanthropy qualifies us for sonship. We are saved by grace alone. We don’t imitate Christ to become children of God. Rather, we imitate God as beloved children (Eph. 5:1).


Lukas 6:36

"Vær barmhjertig, ligesom din Fader er barmhjertig.

(en) Din far; se indgang for Luke 2:49.

(b) Barmhjertig. The God Jesus revealed is a merciful, gracious and forgiving Father (Matt. 6:14, 18:27, Luke 7:47, 15:22, 23:34, John 1:14).


Luke 6:37

“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.

(en) Do not judge because judging misrepresents God’s merciful character (Luke 6:36).

There is a time and place for righteous judgment (John 7:24), but in context Jesus is saying, “Do not judge people according to the law.” (He’s speaking to people born under law.)

Someone who hammers others with the law is acting contrary to the gracious heart of the Father. Since the law empowers sin, a judgmental type will excite the very sin they are condemning. Judgment and condemnation do not bring freedom. Only the grace of God can empower us to live godly lives (Tit, 2:11–12).

(b) Do not condemn. We reap what we sow (Rom 2:1). If we criticize and condemn others, we will come under condemnation ourselves. Our consciences will condemn us (1 John 3:20, John 8:9), the accuser will condemn us (Rev 12:10), and when our faults become known, others will condemn us as hypocrites.


Lukas 6:46

"Hvorfor kalder du mig 'Herre, Herre' og gør ikke, hvad jeg siger?

Herre, Herre. On three occasions, Jesus spoke about people who would cry out “Lord, Lord” yet not be received into his kingdom (Matt: 7-21-22, 25:11, Luke 6:46). On each occasion he was talking about people who did not know him or do what he says.

Yderligere læsning: "Hvad med dem, der råber 'Herre, Herre'?


Lukas 6:49

"Men den, der har hørt og ikke har handlet derefter, er som en mand, der byggede et hus på jorden uden grund; og åen brast imod den, og straks faldt den sammen, og ruinerne af det hus var stor."

Har ikke handlet i overensstemmelse hermed. Det er ikke nok at høre den gode nyhed, som Jesus bringer; du skal tro på det. Troen på Gud (som jøderne havde) er død, medmindre den ledsages af troen på den, han sendte (se indgang for Jas. 2:18).
