Luke 11:36

36 If your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be bright all over, as when a lamp shines on you with its brightness."

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 eyes are like a lamp for the body. When your eyes are sound, your whole body is full of light; but when your eyes are no good, your whole body will be in darkness.
35 Make certain, then, that the light in you is not darkness.
36 If your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be bright all over, as when a lamp shines on you with its brightness."
37 When Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and sat down to eat.
38 The Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus had not washed before eating.
