Luca 14:4

4 Ed essi tacquero. Allora, preso colui per la mano, lo guarì, e lo licenziò.

Luca 14:4 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:4

And they held their peace
Or were silent, choosing to say nothing, which might countenance such an action; and yet knew not how to condemn it:

and he took [him], and healed him, and let him go;
he took him by the hand, or laid his hands on him; he touched him, and, it may be, stroked the part affected, and in an instant the prodigious swelling of his body came down: for he who at his rebuke could dry up the sea, could by a touch dry up such a quantity of water, as was in this man's body; and then he dismissed him from the table and company, and he went home perfectly cured.

Luca 14:4 In-Context

2 Ed ecco, un certo uomo idropico era quivi davanti a lui.

3 E Gesù prese a dire a’ dottori della legge, ed a’ Farisei: È egli lecito di guarire alcuno in giorno di sabato?

4 Ed essi tacquero. Allora, preso colui per la mano, lo guarì, e lo licenziò.

5 Poi fece lor motto, e disse: Chi è colui di voi, che, se il suo asino, o bue, cade in un pozzo, non lo ritragga prontamente fuori nel giorno del sabato?

6 Ed essi non gli potevan risponder nulla in contrario a queste cose.
