Lucas 11:37

37 Y luego que hubo hablado, le rogó un fariseo que comiera con él; y él entró y se sentó a la mesa

Lucas 11:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:37

And as he spake
Either the above words, or others at another time:

a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him:
as one of the same sect had before, in ( Luke 7:36 ) and who either was better affected to Christ than the generality of them were; or had a design upon him to get him into company with others, in private, and ensnare him if they could, and overcome him, who was an overmatch for them before the people; among whom they feared, should they go on thus publicly to attack him, their credit and reputation would sink, and be lost.

And he went in and sat down to meat:
whatever were the intentions of the Pharisee, Christ, who was always affable and free with all sorts of men, readily accepted of the invitation, and at once went along with him to his house; and dinner being ready, and on the table, he immediately sat down without any ceremony.

Lucas 11:37 In-Context

35 Mira pues, si la lumbre que en ti hay, es tinieblas

36 Así que, siendo todo tu cuerpo resplandeciente, no teniendo alguna parte de tinieblas, será todo luminoso, como cuando una lámpara de resplandor te alumbra

37 Y luego que hubo hablado, le rogó un fariseo que comiera con él; y él entró y se sentó a la mesa

38 Y el fariseo, cuando lo vio, se maravilló de que no se lavó antes de comer

39 Y el Señor le dijo: Ahora vosotros los fariseos limpiáis lo de fuera del vaso y del plato; mas lo que está dentro de vosotros está lleno de rapiña y de maldad
