Luke 6:45

45 A good man out of the good treasure of his hert bringeth forthe that which is good. And an evyll man out of the evyll treasure of his hert bringeth forthe that which ys evyll. For of the aboundaunce of ye her his mouthe speakethe.

Luke 6:45 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:45

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart
This, because of its suitableness and agreement with what goes before, is placed by Luke here; though, according to Matthew, it was spoken at another time and place, unless it should be a repetition there; (See Gill on Matthew 12:35)

for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, Ethiopic, Syriac, and Persic versions, leave out the word "his"; and the two latter read "lips", instead of "mouth"; (See Gill on Matthew 12:34).

Luke 6:45 In-Context

43 It is not a good tree that bringeth forthe evyll frute: nether is that an evyll tree that bringeth forthe good frute

44 For every tree is knowen by his frute. Nether of thornes gader men fygges nor of busshes gader they grapes.

45 A good man out of the good treasure of his hert bringeth forthe that which is good. And an evyll man out of the evyll treasure of his hert bringeth forthe that which ys evyll. For of the aboundaunce of ye her his mouthe speakethe.

46 Why call ye me Master Master: and do not as I bid you?

47 whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayinges and dothe the same I will shewe you to whome he ys lyke.
