Luke 11:35

35 So make sure that the light inside you is not darkness.

Luke 11:35 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:35

Take heed therefore
By attending to the light of the Gospel, shining in the ministration of it, and do not neglect and despise it:

that the light which is in thee be not darkness;
lest being given up to a judicial blindness and hardness of heart, not only the light of nature, which the Jews had in common with the Gentiles, but even that notional light and knowledge of divine things, which they had by being favoured with an external revelation, the writings of the Old Testament, should be lost.

Luke 11:35 In-Context

33 "No one lights a lamp and hides it. No one puts it under a bowl. Instead, people put a lamp on its stand. Then those who come in can see the light.

34 "Your eye is like a lamp for your body. Suppose your eyes are good. Then your whole body also is full of light. But suppose your eyes are bad. Then your body also is full of darkness.

35 So make sure that the light inside you is not darkness.

36 "Suppose your whole body is full of light. And suppose no part of it is dark. Then your body will be completely lit up. It will be as when the light of a lamp shines on you."

37 Jesus finished speaking. Then a Pharisee invited him to eat with him. So Jesus went in and took his place at the table.
