Subject: Sell what you have-give alms |
Bible Note: Dear flyman, I think, in order to better understand Luke 12:33, you would need to read the preceding chapter 11:42-53 that Jesus was rebuking the Pharisees who thought they were righteous in following the law for giving tithe. Note also v54 the conspiracy of the Pharisees. Then chapter 12 is depicting a picture of Jesus' teaching in contrasting the hypocrisy of the Pharisees in the preceding verses. That is the main concern of Jesus' teaching within the context, i.e. a portion of the forest. Hope the above is helpful. Shalom Azure |
