Luke 11:36

36 If your whole body is full of light—with no part darkened—then it will be as full of light as when a lamp shines brightly on you."

Luke 11:36 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:36

If thy whole body therefore be full of light
That is, if the whole soul, as the Ethiopic version reads, be full of Gospel light, through the illuminating influences of the blessed Spirit accompanying the word:

having no part dark;
every power and faculty of the soul being affected with it, and influenced by it, though, as yet, the light and knowledge of evangelical things is not perfect in any:

the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of
a candle doth give thee light;
the whole soul shall be as full of light and joy, which the Gospel always brings with it, as a room is full of light, when a candle is lighted, and shines brightly, and burns clearly in it.

Luke 11:36 In-Context

34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is full of darkness.
35 Therefore, see to it that the light in you isn't darkness.
36 If your whole body is full of light—with no part darkened—then it will be as full of light as when a lamp shines brightly on you."
37 While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited him to share a meal with him, so Jesus went and took his place at the table.
38 When the Pharisee saw that Jesus didn't ritually purify his hands by washing before the meal, he was astonished.
