This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 6:23. Ἐν, in) See Rom 2:16, note.-σκιρτήσατε, leap for joy) The reward must surely be a great one: since He who thus commands us, is One whose words contain no hyperbole.-κατὰ ταῦτα, according to these things) Characteristics and means of distinguishing character may be derived from examples: so Luk 6:26. Hebr. כָּאֵלֶּה, LXX. κατὰ ταῦτα, Num 28:24; but κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ is the formula, Eze 45:25. And this is the reading of Epiphanius and the Cambridge MS. here.[62]
[62] BDQ read κατὰ τὰ αὐτά; ‘eadem’ in c; ‘similiter’ in a; ‘sic’ in d. But b and Vulg. have “secundum hæc;” and AP Orig. 3,466a with Rec. Text, κατὰ ταῦτα.-ED.
