Lucas 10:25

25 Y he aquí, cierto intérprete de la ley se levantó, y para ponerle a prueba dijo: Maestro, ¿qué haré para heredar la vida eterna?

Lucas 10:25 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 10:25

And behold a certain lawyer stood up
From his seat, having been hearing Christ preach, very likely, in some synagogue; when and where this was, is not certain. The Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions call this man a Scribe; and a lawyer and a Scribe were the same, as appears from ( Matthew 22:35 ) compared with ( Mark 12:28 )

and tempted him;
or tried him whether he understood the law, or whether he would say any thing contrary to it, and see if he could gain any advantage against him, and expose him, and get credit and applause to himself:

saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
the same question as was put by the young ruler in ( Mark 10:17 ) for they were both of the same complexion, and upon the same foundation, seeking eternal life by their own works: (See Gill on Matthew 19:16)

he said unto him;
that is, Jesus, as all the Oriental versions express it.

Lucas 10:25 In-Context

23 Y volviéndose hacia los discípulos, les dijo aparte: Dichosos los ojos que ven lo que vosotros veis;

24 porque os digo que muchos profetas y reyes desearon ver lo que vosotros veis, y no lo vieron, y oír lo que vosotros oís, y no lo oyeron.

25 Y he aquí, cierto intérprete de la ley se levantó, y para ponerle a prueba dijo: Maestro, ¿qué haré para heredar la vida eterna?

26 Y El le dijo: ¿Qué está escrito en la ley? ¿Qué lees en ella?

27 Respondiendo él, dijo: AMARAS AL SEÑOR TU DIOS CON TODO TU CORAZON, Y CON TODA TU ALMA, Y CON TODA TU FUERZA, Y CON TODA TU MENTE; Y A TU PROJIMO COMO A TI MISMO.
