Luke 6:27

Context

6:27 “But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies, 3  do good to those who hate you,

Luke 23:12

Context
23:12 That very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other, 4  for prior to this they had been enemies. 5 

1 tn Grk “from long ago, salvation.”

2 sn The theme of being saved from our enemies is like the release Jesus preached in Luke 4:18-19. Luke’s narrative shows that one of the enemies in view is Satan and his cohorts, with the grip they have on humanity.

3 sn Love your enemies is the first of four short exhortations that call for an unusual response to those who are persecuting disciples. Disciples are to relate to hostility in a completely unprecedented manner.

4 sn Herod and Pilate became friends with each other. It may be that Pilate’s change of heart was related to the death of his superior, Sejanus, who had a reputation for being anti-Jewish. To please his superior, Pilate may have ruled the Jews with insensitivity. Concerning Sejanus, see Philo, Embassy 24 (160-61) and Flaccus 1 (1).

5 tn Grk “at enmity with each other.”
