Luke 6:22

6:22 “Blessed are you when people ¹  hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject you as evil ²  on account of the Son of Man!

Luke 6:45

6:45 The good person out of the good treasury of his ³  heart ⁴  produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury ⁵  produces evil, for his mouth speaks ⁶  from what fills ⁷  his heart.

[6:22]  ¹ tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both males and females.

[6:22]  ² tn Or “disdain you”; Grk “cast out your name as evil.” The word “name” is used here as a figure of speech to refer to the person as a whole.

[6:45]  ³ tn Grk “the”; the Greek article has been translated here and in the following clause (“out of the evil”) as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[6:45]  ⁴ sn Mention of the heart shows that Jesus is not interested in what is done, but why. Motives are more important than actions for him.

[6:45]  ⁵ tn The word “treasury” is not repeated in the Greek text at this point, but is implied.

[6:45]  ⁶ sn What one utters from one’s mouth is especially singled out as the example of this principle. James seems to have known this teaching (Jas 1:26; 3:1-12).

[6:45]  ⁷ tn Grk “for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”
