34 in may see the light. The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when
thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but
35 when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Look therefore
36 whether the light that is in thee be not darkness. If therefore
thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be
wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining
doth give thee light.

[Footnote 3: Gr. _demons_.]
[Footnote 4: Or, _and house falleth upon house_.]
[Footnote 5: Or, _it_.]
[Footnote 6: Or, _itself_.]
[Footnote 7: Gr. _more than_.]
[Footnote a: It is perfectly natural that the blasphemous accusation made
in Galilee (§ 61), and probably more than once (§ 68, Matt. 9:34), should
be repeated a year or so afterward in Judea or Perea, and that Jesus
should make substantially the same argument in reply. This sort of thing
occurs to every travelling religious teacher. Our Lord does not here give
the solemn warning that such an accusation is really blaspheming against
the Holy Spirit, and is unpardonable. (See Luke 12:10.) And the
subsequent occurrences are quite different in the two cases. In § 64 he
afterwards goes out by the lake-side and gives the great group of
parables, presently explaining some of them to the disciples in a house,
and then crosses the lake to Gerasa, etc. Here in § 107 he breakfasts
with a Pharisee, and utters such solemn woes against the Pharisees as are
found only in the closing months of his ministry, and then gives to vast
multitudes a series of instructions wholly unlike the great group of
parables. So it is quite unsuitable to identify this occurrence with that
of § 61.]
§ 107. WHILE BREAKFASTING WITH A PHARISEE, JESUS SEVERELY DENOUNCES THE
PHARISEES AND LAWYERS, AND EXCITES THEIR ENMITY
Probably in Judea
Luke 11:37-54
