Luke 6:37-42

The Lord of the Sabbath Forms a Kingdom People

Luke moves from Sabbath controversy to apostolic formation, from healing power to kingdom teaching, and from blessing and enemy-love to the demand for obedient foundations under Jesus' word.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39 Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42 How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
