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, when all men speak well of you, for after this manner did their fathers to the false prophets.

27 But to you that hear I say, Love your enemies; do good to those that hate you;

28 bless those that curse you; pray for those who use you despitefully.

29 To him that smites thee on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him that would take away thy garment, forbid not thy body-coat also.

30 To every one that asks of thee, give; and from him that takes away what is thine, ask it not back.
