Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 3:11

"And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise." — Luke 3:11 (ASV)

He that hath two coats.—The remedy, in this case, was simple and practical. Selfishness was the root of evil. It was to be conquered not by religious emotions only, but by acts of unselfishness.

He that hath meat.—The Greek noun is plural, and includes all forms of food.
