Luke 11:36

36 If your whole body is full of light and not darkness, it will be as bright as a lamp shining on you."

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 eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is evil, your body is full of darkness.

35 So be careful that the light in you isn't darkness.

36 If your whole body is full of light and not darkness, it will be as bright as a lamp shining on you."

37 After Jesus spoke, a Pharisee invited him to have lunch at his house. So Jesus accepted the invitation.

38 The Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus didn't wash before the meal.
