Lucas 11:37

Jesús denuncia a los fariseos y a los expertos en la ley

37 Cuando Jesús terminó de hablar, un fariseo lo invitó a comer con él; así que entró en la casa y se sentó a la mesa.

Lucas 11:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:37

And as he spake
Either the above words, or others at another time:

a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him:
as one of the same sect had before, in ( Luke 7:36 ) and who either was better affected to Christ than the generality of them were; or had a design upon him to get him into company with others, in private, and ensnare him if they could, and overcome him, who was an overmatch for them before the people; among whom they feared, should they go on thus publicly to attack him, their credit and reputation would sink, and be lost.

And he went in and sat down to meat:
whatever were the intentions of the Pharisee, Christ, who was always affable and free with all sorts of men, readily accepted of the invitation, and at once went along with him to his house; and dinner being ready, and on the table, he immediately sat down without any ceremony.

Lucas 11:37 In-Context

35 Asegúrate de que la luz que crees tener no sea oscuridad.
36 Por tanto, si todo tu ser disfruta de la luz, sin que ninguna parte quede en la oscuridad, estarás completamente iluminado, como cuando una lámpara te alumbra con su luz».
37 Cuando Jesús terminó de hablar, un fariseo lo invitó a comer con él; así que entró en la casa y se sentó a la mesa.
38 Pero el fariseo se sorprendió al ver que Jesús no había cumplido con el rito de lavarse antes de comer.
39 —Resulta que ustedes los fariseos —les dijo el Señor—, limpian el vaso y el plato por fuera, pero por dentro están ustedes llenos de codicia y de maldad.
