Lukas 10:28

Listen to Lukas 10:28
28 En Hij zeide tot hem: Gij hebt recht geantwoord; doe dat, en gij zult leven.

Lukas 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.

30 En Jezus, antwoordende, zeide: Een zeker mens kwam af van Jeruzalem naar Jericho, en viel onder de moordenaars, welke, hem ook uitgetogen, en daartoe zware slagen gegeven hebbende, heengingen, en lieten hem half dood liggen.
