Lucas 6

Lucas 6

Henry - "Give to every man that asketh of thee, to every one that is a proper object of charity, that wants necessaries, which thou hast wherewithal to supply out of thy superfluities. Give to those that are not able to help themselves, to those that have not relations in a capacity to help them." Christ would have His disciples ready to distribute, and willing to communicate, to their power in ordinary cases, and beyond their power in extraordinary." NET Note - Jesus advocates a generosity and a desire to meet those in dire need with the command give to everyone who asks you. This may allude to begging; giving alms was viewed highly in the ancient world (Mt 6:1–4; Dt 15:7–11). Whoever takes away (airo - present tense) what is yours, do not demand it back (apaiteo) - Do not demand is present imperative with a negative which means either stop demanding it back or don't begin demanding it back and calls for us to depend on the Holy Spirit to obey.
