Lucas 20:19

19 Los maestros de la ley religiosa y principales sacerdotes querían arrestar a Jesús en ese mismo momento, porque se dieron cuenta de que contaba esa historia en contra de ellos, pues ellos eran los agricultores malvados; pero tenían miedo de la reacción de la gente.

Lucas 20:19 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:19

And the chief priests, and the Scribes, that same hour,
&c.] As soon as he had delivered the above parable, together with that of the two sons:

sought to lay hands on him;
they had a good will to it, being exceedingly gravelled with the question he put to them concerning John's baptism, which confounded them, and put them to silence; and with the parables he delivered, in which they were so manifestly pointed at:

and they feared the people;
lest they should rise and stone them, as in ( Luke 20:6 ) or rescue him out of their hands;

for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them:
and that they were the husbandmen that had used the servants of God so ill, and would put to death the son of God, the Messiah; and who would at length be destroyed themselves, and the kingdom of God be taken from them, though they seem to detest and deprecate it, saying in ( Luke 20:16 ) God forbid; that we should kill the heir, or that we should be destroyed, and the vineyard given to others: these things grievously nettled them, and exasperated them against him; but they knew not how to help themselves at present.

Lucas 20:19 In-Context

17 Jesús los miró y les dijo:

18 Todo el que tropiece con esa piedra se hará pedazos, y la piedra aplastará a quienes les caiga encima.

19 Los maestros de la ley religiosa y principales sacerdotes querían arrestar a Jesús en ese mismo momento, porque se dieron cuenta de que contaba esa historia en contra de ellos, pues ellos eran los agricultores malvados; pero tenían miedo de la reacción de la gente.

20 Los impuestos para el César
Esperando su oportunidad, los líderes mandaron espías que se hicieron pasar por hombres sinceros. Trataban de hacer que Jesús dijera algo que pudieran informar al gobernador de Roma para que lo arrestara.

21 —Maestro —le dijeron—, sabemos que dices y enseñas lo que es correcto y no te dejas influir por lo que piensan otros. Enseñas con verdad el camino de Dios.
