Chapter overview (whole chapter)
In Luke 6 Jesus delivers a teaching that begins with a summary of the law and then offers a new interpretation, calling his followers to love their neighbors as themselves and to seek the kingdom of God. He then describes the blessings of the righteous and the burdens of the wicked, using the Beatitudes to contrast good and evil. The chapter emphasizes that true righteousness comes from the heart, not from outward actions.
