"You have answered correctly," In this passage, Jesus is responding to a lawyer who has recited the greatest commandments: to love God and love one's neighbor. The lawyer's answer reflects a deep understanding of the Law, as found in Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18. Jesus affirms the lawyer's knowledge, indicating that intellectual understanding of the Law is important. This moment highlights the Jewish tradition of valuing the Torah and the importance of knowing Scripture. It also underscores the role of Jesus as a teacher who acknowledges truth when it is spoken, even by those who might be testing Him. "Jesus said." "Do this" "and you will live." Persons / Places / Events 1. JesusThe central figure in this passage, Jesus is responding to a lawyer who is testing Him. Jesus is the authoritative teacher and the Son of God, providing divine insight into the law and its fulfillment. 2. The Lawyer A Jewish expert in the Mosaic Law who questions Jesus to test Him. His inquiry leads to a discussion about the greatest commandments and eternal life. 3. The Setting This event takes place during Jesus' ministry as He travels and teaches. The interaction likely occurs in a public setting where Jesus often engaged with religious leaders and the public. Teaching Points Correct Understanding of the LawJesus affirms the lawyer's understanding of the law, emphasizing that knowing the right answer is important, but it must be accompanied by action. The Call to Action Jesus' directive, "Do this and you will live," highlights the necessity of living out one's faith through love and obedience, not merely intellectual assent. Eternal Life through Love The passage underscores that eternal life is connected to living a life characterized by love for God and others, reflecting the heart of the Gospel. Practical Love This teaching challenges believers to evaluate how they demonstrate love in their daily lives, encouraging practical expressions of faith. The Role of Obedience Obedience to God's commandments is not just about following rules but about embodying the love that fulfills the law.(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.Verse 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.
