Luke 13:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 13:10

And he was teaching in one of the synagogues
That is Jesus, as the Syriac and Persic versions express it; which was his work, he being a teacher sent from God, and who took all opportunities of instructing men in the truths of the Gospel; this was done either in Galilee, or in Judea, in one of the synagogues of some city there, for in their larger cities there were more synagogues than one. In Jerusalem, we are told ^F15, there were three hundred and ninety four synagogues; and other writers ^F16 increase their number, and say, there were four hundred and eighty: and it was

on the sabbath;
which was now in force, and was religiously observed by Christ.

Luke 13:10 In-Context

8 “The gardener answered, ‘Sir, give it one more chance. Leave it another year, and I’ll give it special attention and plenty of fertilizer.

9 If we get figs next year, fine. If not, then you can cut it down.’”

10 One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue,

11 he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight.

12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!”
