Lucas 11:45

45 Y respondiendo uno de los doctores de la ley, le dice: Maestro, cuando dices esto, también nos afrentas a nosotros

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 ¡Ay de vosotros, fariseos! Que amáis las primeras sillas en las sinagogas, y las salutaciones en las plazas

44 ¡Ay de vosotros, escribas y fariseos, hipócritas! Que sois como sepulcros que no se ven, y los hombres que andan encima no lo saben

45 Y respondiendo uno de los doctores de la ley, le dice: Maestro, cuando dices esto, también nos afrentas a nosotros

46 Y él dijo: ¡Ay de vosotros también, doctores de la ley! Que cargáis a los hombres con cargas que no pueden llevar; mas vosotros ni aun con un dedo tocáis las cargas

47 ¡Ay de vosotros! Que edificáis los sepulcros de los profetas, y los mataron vuestros padres
