Luke 6:37-42

Against Judging (Matthew 7:1 *). Lk. skips Matthew 6 and connects these sayings with love of enemies. It is not clear whether the reference is to law-courts or to general behaviour. Note the different use of with what measure ye mete, etc., in Lk. and Mt. In Luke 6:39 f. (note the interpolating introduction) Lk. gives two sayings found in Mt. at Luke 15:14 and Luke 10:24 f.; perhaps he means them to carry on the thought of charity in judgment, with the added notion that immature disciples are not competent to judge. He may also have connected the blind leading the blind with the mote and the beam; in Luke 6:41 f. he is back at Matthew 7:3.
