Luke 11:35

35 Therefore see thou, lest the light that is in thee [lest the light which is in thee], be darknesses.

Luke 11:35 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:35

Take heed therefore
By attending to the light of the Gospel, shining in the ministration of it, and do not neglect and despise it:

that the light which is in thee be not darkness;
lest being given up to a judicial blindness and hardness of heart, not only the light of nature, which the Jews had in common with the Gentiles, but even that notional light and knowledge of divine things, which they had by being favoured with an external revelation, the writings of the Old Testament, should be lost.

Luke 11:35 In-Context

33 No man tendeth a lantern, and putteth it in huddles [+No man lighteneth a lantern, and putteth it in huddles], neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they that go in, see light.

34 The lantern of thy body is thine eye; if thine eye be simple, all thy body shall be light[-full]; but if it be wayward, all thy body shall be dark-full.

35 Therefore see thou, lest the light that is in thee [lest the light which is in thee], be darknesses.

36 Therefore if all thy body be bright, and have no part of darknesses, it shall be all bright, and as a lantern of brightness it shall give light to thee. [Therefore if all thy body shall be light-full, not having any part of darknesses, it shall be all light-full, and as a lantern of brightness, or shining, it shall give light to thee.]

37 And when he spake, a Pharisee prayed him [some Pharisee prayed], that he should eat with him. And he entered, and sat to meat [And he gone in, sat at the meat].
