Lucas 11:45

45 Disse-lhe, então, um dos doutores da lei: Mestre, quando dizes isso, também nos afrontas a nós.

Lucas 11:45 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:45

Then answered one of the lawyers
Or Scribes, as the Syriac and Persic versions read: and so the Ethiopic version calls him, "a Scribe of the city": the Scribes and lawyers were the same sort of persons who were interpreters of the law, and equally tenacious of the traditions of the elders Christ had referred to, as the Pharisees, and in general were Pharisees; though some of them might be of the sect of the Sadducees. This man observing that Christ, in his last words, joined the Scribes and Pharisees together, and charged them both with hypocrisy, and pronounced a woe upon them, was very uneasy at it:

and saith unto him, master, thus saying, thou reproachest us
also;
us lawyers, or Scribes also; both by mentioning their names, and accusing the Pharisees of the same things, which they must be conscious to themselves they were equally guilty of; so that if the one were criminal, the others were also. The Ethiopic version reads by way of interrogation, "what thou sayest, does it not injure us?"

Lucas 11:45 In-Context

43 Ai de vós, fariseus! porque gostais dos primeiros assentos nas sinagogas, e das saudações nas praças.

44 Ai de vós! porque sois como as sepulturas que não aparecem, sobre as quais andam os homens sem o saberem.

45 Disse-lhe, então, um dos doutores da lei: Mestre, quando dizes isso, também nos afrontas a nós.

46 Ele, porém, respondeu: Ai de vós também, doutores da lei! porque carregais os homens com fardos difíceis de suportar, e vós mesmos nem ainda com um dos vossos dedos tocais nesses fardos.

47 Ai de vós! porque edificais os túmulos dos profetas, e vossos pais os mataram.
