Luc 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.

Luc 14:4 In-Context

2 Et voici, un homme hydropique était devant lui.

3 Jésus prit la parole, et dit aux docteurs de la loi et aux pharisiens: Est-il permis, ou non, de faire une guérison le jour du sabbat?

4 Ils gardèrent le silence. Alors Jésus avança la main sur cet homme, le guérit, et le renvoya.

5 Puis il leur dit: Lequel de vous, si son fils ou son boeuf tombe dans un puits, ne l'en retirera pas aussitôt, le jour du sabbat?

6 Et ils ne purent rien répondre à cela.
