How preachers through history handled this text
30 public-domain excerpts on Luke 11, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“We should all look to our hearts, that they may be cleansed and new-created; and while we attend to the great things of the law and of the gospel, we must not neglect the smallest matter God has appointed. When any wait to catch something out of our mouths, that they may insnare us, O Lord, give us thy prudence and thy patience, and disappoint their evil purposes. Furnish us with such meekness and patience that we may glory in reproaches, for Christ's sake, and that thy Holy Spirit may rest upon us.”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Luke 11:37–54 (Public Domain)
