Chapter summary
Sabbath grain and withered hand; Luke uniquely notes the all-night prayer before the choice of the Twelve. Sermon on the Plain — blessings and woes paralleling Matthew's Beatitudes. Love your enemies; judge not; good tree, good fruit; the two houses on rock and sand.
Drafted from Matthew Henry, Calvin, Gill, Clarke, JFB, and Barnes.

42Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.
