Luke 6:45

45 bonus homo de bono thesauro cordis sui profert bonum et malus homo de malo profert malum ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur

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 non est enim arbor bona quae facit fructus malos neque arbor mala faciens fructum bonum

44 unaquaeque enim arbor de fructu suo cognoscitur neque enim de spinis colligunt ficus neque de rubo vindemiant uvam

45 bonus homo de bono thesauro cordis sui profert bonum et malus homo de malo profert malum ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur

46 quid autem vocatis me Domine Domine et non facitis quae dico

47 omnis qui venit ad me et audit sermones meos et facit eos ostendam vobis cui similis est
