Commentary on Luke 6:26

Theological / Devotional

Speak well of you. Precisely the opposite of “reproach you” (v. 22). Here is another of the paradoxes that emphasize the great difference between Christianity and the world, between its ideals and those of the world. Men usually “speak well” of those who possess wealth or power, and who are in a position to respond to flattery in such a way as to benefit the flatterer.

So did their fathers. Compare this with the ill-treatment their ancestors had accorded to the prophets of the Lord (v. 23).
