Lucas 9:56

56 [Pois o Filho do Homem não veio para destruir as vidas dos homens, mas para salvá-las.] E foram para outra aldeia.

Lucas 9:56 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:56

For the son of man
Meaning himself, in his state of humiliation:

is not come to destroy men's lives;
the word "men's" is omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions: and both words, "men's lives", are left out in the Arabic version:

but to save them;
as they might easily observe, by his casting out devils from the bodies of men, and healing all sorts of diseases: and therefore, though it was agreeably to the legal dispensation, and the times of Elijah, to punish offenders in such a manner, it was not agreeably to the Gospel dispensation, and to the ends of the Messiah's coming into the world: so far in this verse, and the latter part of the former verse, are left out in five ancient copies of Beza's, and in the Ethiopic version, but are in the rest of the Eastern versions, and in other copies, and are rightly retained:

and they went to another village;
in Samaria, more civil and courteous, and less prejudiced, and where they got lodging and entertainment.

Lucas 9:56 In-Context

54 Vendo isto os discípulos Tiago e João, disseram: Senhor, queres que mandemos descer fogo do céu para os consumir [como Elias também fez?]

55 Ele porém, voltando-se, repreendeu-os, [e disse: Vós não sabeis de que espírito sois.]

56 [Pois o Filho do Homem não veio para destruir as vidas dos homens, mas para salvá-las.] E foram para outra aldeia.

57 Quando iam pelo caminho, disse-lhe um homem: Seguir-te-ei para onde quer que fores.

58 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: As raposas têm covis, e as aves do céu têm ninhos; mas o Filho do homem não tem onde reclinar a cabeça.
