Luke 6:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:28

Bless them that curse you;
&c.] In common discourse, or anathematize you in their synagogues:

and pray for them which despitefully use you:
so Christ himself did; (See Gill on Matthew 5:44).

Luke 6:28 In-Context

26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27 But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29 If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.
