Lucas 11:45

45 —Maestro —le dijo un experto en la ley religiosa—, nos has insultado a nosotros también con lo que has dicho.

Lucas 11:45 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:45

Then answered one of the lawyers
Or Scribes, as the Syriac and Persic versions read: and so the Ethiopic version calls him, "a Scribe of the city": the Scribes and lawyers were the same sort of persons who were interpreters of the law, and equally tenacious of the traditions of the elders Christ had referred to, as the Pharisees, and in general were Pharisees; though some of them might be of the sect of the Sadducees. This man observing that Christ, in his last words, joined the Scribes and Pharisees together, and charged them both with hypocrisy, and pronounced a woe upon them, was very uneasy at it:

and saith unto him, master, thus saying, thou reproachest us
also;
us lawyers, or Scribes also; both by mentioning their names, and accusing the Pharisees of the same things, which they must be conscious to themselves they were equally guilty of; so that if the one were criminal, the others were also. The Ethiopic version reads by way of interrogation, "what thou sayest, does it not injure us?"

Lucas 11:45 In-Context

43 »¡Qué aflicción les espera, fariseos! Pues les encanta ocupar los asientos de honor en las sinagogas y recibir saludos respetuosos cuando caminan por las plazas.

44 ¡Sí, qué aflicción les espera! Pues son como tumbas escondidas en el campo. Las personas caminan sobre ellas sin saber de la corrupción que están pisando».

45 —Maestro —le dijo un experto en la ley religiosa—, nos has insultado a nosotros también con lo que has dicho.

46 —dijo Jesús—,

47 ¡Qué aflicción les espera! Pues levantan monumentos a los profetas que sus propios antepasados mataron tiempo atrás.
