Luc 11:45

45 Alors un des docteurs de la loi prit la parole et lui dit: Maître, en disant ces choses, tu nous outrages aussi.

Luc 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?"

Luc 11:45 In-Context

43 Malheur à vous, pharisiens, qui aimez à occuper les premières places dans les synagogues, et à être salués dans les places publiques.

44 Malheur à vous, scribes et pharisiens hypocrites, parce que vous ressemblez aux sépulcres qui ne paraissent point, et les hommes qui marchent dessus n'en savent rien.

45 Alors un des docteurs de la loi prit la parole et lui dit: Maître, en disant ces choses, tu nous outrages aussi.

46 Et Jésus dit: Malheur aussi à vous, docteurs de la loi, parce que vous chargez les hommes de fardeaux qu'ils ne peuvent porter, et vous-mêmes n'y touchez pas du doigt.

47 Malheur à vous, parce que vous bâtissez les sépulcres des prophètes que vos pères ont fait mourir.
