Lucas 14:3 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:3

And Jesus answering, spake unto the lawyers and
Pharisees
All the Oriental versions, for "lawyers", read "Scribes": these, with the Pharisees, were got together in a body, in their brother Pharisee's house, to watch the motions of Christ; who knew their designs upon him, and the thoughts of their hearts, and made answer to them, by putting the following question;

saying, is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
The occasion of the question was the object before him, whom Christ had a compassionate regard to, and determined to cure; but knowing that these men were catching at every thing, to traduce him, was desirous of having their sentiments first; not but that he knew full well, what was agreeable to the law of God, and what was not; and what also were the traditions of their elders, which they held, and which allowed of healing on the sabbath day, where life was in danger.

Lucas 14:3 In-Context

1 Tendo Jesus entrado, num sábado, em casa de um dos chefes dos fariseus para comer pão, eles o estavam observando.

2 Achava-se ali diante dele certo homem hidrópico.

3 E Jesus, tomando a palavra, falou aos doutores da lei e aos fariseus, e perguntou: É lícito curar no sábado, ou não?

4 Eles, porém, ficaram calados. E Jesus, pegando no homem, o curou, e o despediu.

5 Então lhes perguntou: Qual de vós, se lhe cair num poço um filho, ou um boi, não o tirará logo, mesmo em dia de sábado?
