Barnes' Notes on the Bible

That hunger now - Matthew has it, "that hunger and thirst after righteousness." Matthew has expressed more fully what Luke has briefly, but there is no contradiction.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Blessed are ye that hunger now,.... Not only suffer hunger and thirst in a literal sense, in this present life, but who have hunger and thirst in a spiritual sense, after righteousness and eternal life, as in Matthew 5:6 where it is also said as here:

for ye shall be filled: with righteousness and life; See Gill on Matthew 5:6.

blessed are ye that weep now; under afflictions and pressures of life, and mourn for sin, their own, and others:

for ye shall laugh; be filled with spiritual joy and pleasure, and be comforted with the consolations of the Spirit; See Gill on Matthew 5:4.


Vincent's Word Studies

Now

Peculiar to Luke.

Shall be filled

See on Matthew 5:6.

Weep (κλαίοντες)

Strictly, to weep audibly. See on πενθοῦντες, mourn, Matthew 5:4.

Laugh (γελάσετε)

Matthew, shall be comforted.


Geneva Study Bible

Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.


People's New Testament

6:20-23 Blessed. These beatitudes are given more fully in Mt 5:3-12, which see notes. Luke says kingdom of God; Matthew, of heaven, showing that the two are the same.


Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

21. laugh-How charming is the liveliness of this word, to express what in Matthew is called being "comforted!"


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

6:20-26 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 live by them, may take the promises of the gospel to themselves, and live upon them. Woes are denounced against prosperous sinners as miserable people, though the world envies them. Those are blessed indeed whom Christ blesses, but those must be dreadfully miserable who fall under 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!


Luke 6:20 Looking at his disciples, he said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Luke 6:22 Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
