Lucas 13:14

14 Y respondiendo el príncipe de la sinagoga, enojado de que Jesús hubiera curado en sábado, dijo a la congregación: Seis días hay en que conviene obrar; en éstos, pues, venid y sed curados, y no en días de sábado

Lucas 13:14 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 13:14

And the ruler of the synagogue
For there never was but one in a synagogue, whatever some writers have observed to the contrary; (See Gill on Matthew 9:18) the Ethiopic version reads, "the chief priests", but wrongly; these dwelt at Jerusalem, and in Galilee:

answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the
sabbath day;
his indignation was at Christ, and the miracle he had wrought, being filled with envy at the honour it would bring unto him; though he covered it under pretence of its being a violation of the sabbath, and that it ought not to have been done on such a day, and in such a place, which were appropriated not to servile works, but to religious worship;

and said unto the people;
over whom he had an authority, and who stood in awe of him, because of his office and dignity; and not daring to attack Christ himself, at least not directly, though he struck at him through the people, whose doctrine and miracles were so extraordinary.

There are six days which men ought to work, in them therefore
come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day;
referring to the fourth command: but this observation and reproof were impertinent and needless, for the people did not come to be healed; for ought appears, the cure was unthought of and unexpected; nor was healing, especially as performed by Christ, by a word and a touch, a servile work, and therefore could not be any breach of the law referred to. The Ethiopic version reads, "is there not a sixth day?----come on that day"; the day before the sabbath.

Lucas 13:14 In-Context

12 Cuando Jesús la vio, la llamó, y le dijo: Mujer, libre eres de tu enfermedad

13 Y puso las manos sobre ella; y luego se enderezó, y glorificaba a Dios

14 Y respondiendo el príncipe de la sinagoga, enojado de que Jesús hubiera curado en sábado, dijo a la congregación: Seis días hay en que conviene obrar; en éstos, pues, venid y sed curados, y no en días de sábado

15 Entonces el Señor le respondió, y dijo: Hipócrita, cada uno de vosotros ¿no desata en sábado su buey o su asno del pesebre, y lo lleva a beber

16 Y a esta hija de Abraham, que he aquí Satanás la había ligado dieciocho años, ¿no conviene desatarla de esta ligadura en día de sábado
