Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 28. - This do, and thou shalt live. The learned Jew was evidently confounded at the Galilaean Rabbi's first answer referring him to the sacred Mosaic Law. His perplexity is increased by the Lord's quiet repartee when he had rehearsed the two duties, to his God and his neighbour, "This do, and thou shalt live." It seems as though the clever, unfriendly critic of Jesus of Nazareth now forgot the hostile purpose with which he stood up to question, and, really conscience-stricken, willing to justify himself, in real good faith put the query which called out the famous parable.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(28) Thou hast answered right.--The acceptance of the lawyer's answer as theoretically true was part of the method of our Lord's teaching. The words that followed, "This do, and thou shalt live," were those of a Prophet who knew what was in the man, and read the secrets of his heart, and saw how little love was to be found there. In the command "This do . . . ," however, our Lord does something more than accommodate Himself to the legal point of view. Love was really life, at once its source and its manifestation, if only the love were true, and the test of its being true was action.
