John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 23. Rejoice ye in that day , etc.] When they should be hated, discarded, reproached, and anathematized: and leap for joy; as if the greatest honour and happiness imaginable had been conferred on them; and as persons do, when in the greatest rapture: for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets ; (See Gill on � Matthew 5:12�).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-26 - Here begins a discourse of Christ, most of which is also found in Mt 5 7. But some think that this was preached at another time and place. All believers that take the precepts of the gospel to themselves, and liv by them, may take the promises of the gospel to themselves, and liv upon them. Woes are denounced against prosperous sinners as miserabl people, though the world envies them. Those are blessed indeed who Christ blesses, but those must be dreadfully miserable who fall unde his woe and curse! What a vast advantage will the saint have over the sinner in the other world! and what a wide difference will there be in their rewards, how much soever the sinner may prosper, and the saint be afflicted here!

Vincent's NT Word Studies

23. Leap for joy (skirthsate). See chapter i. 41, 44. Compare Matthew, be exceeding glad (ajgalliasqe: see on 1 Pet. i. 6).

Their fathers. Peculiar to Luke.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

6:23 {Leap for joy} (skirtesate). Old verb and in LXX, but only in Luke in the N.T. (here and #1:41,44). It answers to Matthew's (#Mt 5:12) "be exceeding glad." {Did} (epoioun). Imperfect active, the habit of "their fathers" (peculiar to both here). #Mt 5:12 has "persecuted." Thus they will receive a prophet's reward (#Mt 1:41).
