Luke 6:38 in Context — Luke 6

36 Portanto, sede misericordiosos, como também o vosso Pai é misericordioso.

37 Não julgueis, e não sereis julgados; não condeneis, e não sereis condenados; liberai, e vos liberarão.

38 Dai, e será vos dado; medida boa, comprimida, sacudida e transbordante vos darão no vosso colo; pois com a mesma medida que medirdes vos medirão de volta.

39 E disse-lhesuma parábola: Acaso pode o cego guiar [outro] cego? Não cairão ambos no buraco?

40 O discípulo não está acima do seu mestre; mas todo aquele que estiver completamente capacitado será como o seu mestre.
