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 “O que está escrito na Lei?”, respondeu Jesus. “Como você a lê?”

27 Ele respondeu: “ ‘Ame o Senhor, o seu Deus, de todo o seu coração, de toda a sua alma, de todas as suas forças e de todo o seu entendimento’ e ‘Ame o seu próximo como a si mesmo’.”

28 Disse Jesus: “Você respondeu corretamente. Faça isso e viverá”.

29 Mas ele, querendo justificar-se, perguntou a Jesus: “E quem é o meu próximo?”

30 Em resposta, disse Jesus: “Um homem descia de Jerusalém para Jericó, quando caiu nas mãos de assaltantes. Estes lhe tiraram as roupas, espancaram-no e se foram, deixando-o quase morto.
