Lucas 10:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 10:28

And he said unto him, thou hast answered right
It is so written, and read; and this, as if he should say, is the sum and substance of the law, and what that requires men should do; wherefore,

do this, and thou shalt live;
for the bare reading of it was not sufficient; though these men placed great confidence in reading this passage, or in reciting their phylacteries, of which this was a part, morning and night. Our Lord intimates by this, that, according to the tenor of the law, eternal life was not to be had without a complete and perfect performance of the duties of love to God, and to the neighbour, contained in these words; and this he suggests, in order to convict him of the impossibility of obtaining life by the works of the law, since such a performance cannot be made by man.

Lucas 10:28 In-Context

26 Y El le dijo: ¿Qué está escrito en la ley? ¿Qué lees en ella?

27 Respondiendo él, dijo: AMARAS AL SEÑOR TU DIOS CON TODO TU CORAZON, Y CON TODA TU ALMA, Y CON TODA TU FUERZA, Y CON TODA TU MENTE; Y A TU PROJIMO COMO A TI MISMO.

28 Entonces Jesús le dijo: Has respondido correctamente; HAZ ESTO Y VIVIRAS.

29 Pero queriendo él justificarse a sí mismo, dijo a Jesús: ¿Y quién es mi prójimo?

30 Respondiendo Jesús, dijo: Cierto hombre bajaba de Jerusalén a Jericó, y cayó en manos de salteadores, los cuales después de despojarlo y de darle golpes, se fueron, dejándolo medio muerto.
