Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 11:42

_ _ mint ... rue, etc. — rounding on Leviticus 27:30, which they interpreted rigidly. Our Lord purposely names the most trifling products of the earth, as examples of what they punctiliously exacted the tenth of.

_ _ judgment and the love of God — in Matthew 23:25, “judgment, mercy, and faith.” The reference is to Micah 6:6-8, whose third element of all acceptable religion, “walking humbly with God,” comprehends both “love” and “faith.” (See on Mark 12:29; see on Mark 12:32, Mark 12:33). The same tendency to merge greater duties in less besets us still, but it is the characteristic of hypocrites.

_ _ these ought ye, etc. — There is no need for one set of duties to jostle out another; but of the greater, our Lord says, “Ye ought to have done” them; of the lesser, only “ye ought not to leave them undone.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 11:37-54.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 11:42

Wo to you — That is, miserable are you. In the same manner is the phrase to be understood throughout the chapter.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Luke 11:42

(11) But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye (g) tithe mint and rue and (h) all manner of herbs, and pass over (i) judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

(11) It is the characteristic of hypocrites to stand firmly for little trifles and to let greater matters pass.

(g) You decide by God's law that the tenth part is due to be paid.

(h) Of all types of herbs, some as Augustine expounds it in his Enchiridion to Laurence, chap. 99, where he shows in like manner how that place of Paul, (God "will have all men to be saved"), (1 Timothy 2:4), is to be expounded after the same manner.

(i) That is to say, that which is right and reasonable to do, for this word "judgment" contains the commandments of the second table, and the other words, "the love of God", contain the commandments of the first.
