Luke 17:3
Verse 3 of 37
Commentary
Commentary on Luke 17:3
Theological / DevotionalTake heed. For comment on vs. 3, 4 see on Matt. 18:15-22. To fail to forgive others is one way of provoking them to rashness and to sin. Verses 1, 2 of Luke 17 are concerned with sin on our part against others, vs. 3, 4 with our attitude when others sin against us. We are to avoid causing others to stumble, and at the same time we are to be merciful to them when they cause us to stumble.
Against thee. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 146) the omission of these words, though the context makes evident that this is the kind of trespass to which Jesus refers.
