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 Y aconteció que cuando Jesús entró en casa de uno de los principales de los fariseos un día de reposo para comer pan, ellos le estaban observando cuidadosamente.

2 Y allí, frente a El, estaba un hombre hidrópico.

3 Y dirigiéndose Jesús, a los intérpretes de la ley y a los fariseos, les habló diciendo: ¿Es lícito sanar en el día de reposo, o no?

4 Pero ellos guardaron silencio. Y El, tomándolo de la mano, lo sanó y lo despidió.

5 Y a ellos les dijo: ¿A quién de vosotros se le cae un hijo o un buey en un hoyo un día de reposo, y no lo saca inmediatamente?
