Lucas 11:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:37

And as he spake
Either the above words, or others at another time:

a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him:
as one of the same sect had before, in ( Luke 7:36 ) and who either was better affected to Christ than the generality of them were; or had a design upon him to get him into company with others, in private, and ensnare him if they could, and overcome him, who was an overmatch for them before the people; among whom they feared, should they go on thus publicly to attack him, their credit and reputation would sink, and be lost.

And he went in and sat down to meat:
whatever were the intentions of the Pharisee, Christ, who was always affable and free with all sorts of men, readily accepted of the invitation, and at once went along with him to his house; and dinner being ready, and on the table, he immediately sat down without any ceremony.

Lucas 11:37 In-Context

35 Mira, pues, que la luz que en ti hay no sea oscuridad.

36 Así que, si todo tu cuerpo está lleno de luz, sin tener parte alguna en tinieblas, estará totalmente iluminado como cuando la lámpara te alumbra con sus rayos.

37 Cuando terminó de hablar, un fariseo le rogó<***> que comiera con él; y Jesús entró y se sentó a la mesa.

38 Cuando el fariseo vio esto, se sorprendió de que Jesús no se hubiera lavado primero antes de comer, según el ritual judío.

39 Pero el Señor le dijo: Ahora bien, vosotros los fariseos limpiáis lo de fuera del vaso y del plato; pero por dentro estáis llenos de robo y de maldad.
