Lucas 14:3

3 Jesús les preguntó a los expertos en la ley y a los fariseos:—¿Está permitido o no sanar en sábado?

Lucas 14:3 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:3

And Jesus answering, spake unto the lawyers and
Pharisees
All the Oriental versions, for "lawyers", read "Scribes": these, with the Pharisees, were got together in a body, in their brother Pharisee's house, to watch the motions of Christ; who knew their designs upon him, and the thoughts of their hearts, and made answer to them, by putting the following question;

saying, is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
The occasion of the question was the object before him, whom Christ had a compassionate regard to, and determined to cure; but knowing that these men were catching at every thing, to traduce him, was desirous of having their sentiments first; not but that he knew full well, what was agreeable to the law of God, and what was not; and what also were the traditions of their elders, which they held, and which allowed of healing on the sabbath day, where life was in danger.

Lucas 14:3 In-Context

1 Un día Jesús fue a comer a casa de un notable de los fariseos. Era sábado, así que estos estaban acechando a Jesús.

2 Allí, delante de él, estaba un hombre enfermo de hidropesía.

3 Jesús les preguntó a los expertos en la ley y a los fariseos:—¿Está permitido o no sanar en sábado?

4 Pero ellos se quedaron callados. Entonces tomó al hombre, lo sanó y lo despidió.

5 También les dijo:—Si uno de ustedes tiene un hijo o un buey que se le cae en un pozo, ¿no lo saca en seguida aunque sea sábado?
