SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:24

Mas ¡ay de vosotros, ricos! Porque tenis vuestro consuelo.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 6:24

Verse 24. - 26. But wo unto you that are rich!] The
Pharisees, who were laden with the spoils of the people which they received in gifts, &c.

These three verses are not found in the sermon, as recorded by Matthew.

They seem to be spoken chiefly to the scribes and Pharisees, who, in order to be pleasing to all, spoke to every one what he liked best; and by finesse, flattery, and lies, found out the method of gaining and keeping the good opinion of the multitude.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 24. But woe unto you that are rich , etc.] Not in worldly riches and substance, for some of these have been, and are happy persons in a spiritual sense; and at most, it can only mean such, who trust in their riches, and place their, happiness in them; but it chiefly regards such, as are rich in their own opinion, and stand in need of nothing; who place their confidence in their own righteousness, and do not apply to Christ, in whom alone are durable riches and righteousness: for ye have received your consolation ; which they take from their own works, and a very unstable and short lived one it is; for while they are crying Peace, Peace, to themselves, from their own services, sudden destruction comes upon them, and all their comforts vanish away: for there is no true solid comfort but in Christ, and in his righteousness; that administers consolation now, and lays a foundation for everlasting comfort hereafter.

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

24. Woe. These woes are not noted by Matthew.

Have received (apecete). In Matt. vi. 5, 16, the Rev. has properly changed "they have their reward" to "they have received." The verb, compounded of ajpo, off or from, and ecw, to have, literally means to have nothing left to desire. Thus in Philip. iv. 18, when Paul says, "I have all things (apecw panta)," he does not mean merely an acknowledgment of the receipt of the Church's gift, but that he is fully furnished. "I have all things to the full."

Consolation (paraklhsiv). From para, to the side of, and kalew, to call or summon. Literally, a calling to one's side to help; and therefore entreaty, passing on into the sense of exhortation, and thence into that of consolatory exhortation; and so coming round to mean that which one is summoned to give to a suppliant - consolation. Thus it embodies the call for help, and the response to the call. Its use corresponds with that of the kindred verb parakalew, to exhort or console. In its original sense of calling for aid the noun appears in the New Testament only in 2 Corinthians viii. 4: with much entreaty. The verb appears frequently in this sense, rendered beseech, pray (Matt. viii. 34; xiv. 36; Mark i. 40; v. 12, etc.). In the sense of consolation or comfort the noun occurs, in Luke ii. 25; vi. 24; 2 Cor. i. 3; vii. 4; Philemon 7. The verb, in Matt. ii. 18; v. 4; Luke xvi. 25; 2 Cor. i. 4. In some instances, however, the meaning wavers between console and exhort. In the sense of exhortation or counsel, the noun may be found in Acts ii. 40; xi. 23; xiv. 22; Rom. xii. 8; Titus ii. 15. Neither the noun nor the verb appear in the writings of John, but the kindred word paraklhtov, the Paraclete, Comforter, or Advocate, is peculiar to him. On this word, see on John xiv. 16. It should be noted, however, that the word comfort goes deeper than its popular conception of soothing. It is from the later Latin confortare, to make strong. Thus Wycliffe renders Luke i. 80, "the child waxed, and was comforted in spirit" (A.V., waxed strong); and Tyndale, Luke xxii. 43, "there appeared an angel from heaven comforting him" (A.V., strengthening). The comfort which Christ gives is not always soothing. The Holy Spirit, the Comforter, is to convince of sin and of judgment. Underlying the word is the sense of a wise counsel or admonition which rouses and braces the moral nature and encourages and strengthens it to do and to endure. When, therefore, Christ says "they that mourn shall be comforted," he speaks in recognition of the fact that all sorrow is the outcome of sin, and that true comfort is given, not only in pardon for the past, but in strength to fight and resist and overcome sin. The atmosphere of the word, in short, is not the atmosphere of the sick chamber, but the tonic breath of the open world, of moral struggle and victory; the atmosphere for him that climbs and toils and fights.


Robertson's NT Word Studies

6:24 {But woe unto you that are rich} (plen ouai humin tois plousiois). Sharp contrast (plen). As a matter of fact the rich Pharisees and Sadducees were the chief opposers of Christ as of the early disciples later (#Jas 5:1-6). {Ye have received} (apecete). Receipt in full apecw means as the papyri show. {Comfort} (paraklesin). From parakalew, to call to one's side, to encourage, to help, to cheer.
