Lucas 14:3

3 Jesus perguntou aos fariseus e aos peritos na lei: “É permitido ou não curar no 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 Certo sábado, entrando Jesus para comer na casa de um fariseu importante, observavam-no atentamente.

2 À frente dele estava um homem doente, com o corpo inchado.

3 Jesus perguntou aos fariseus e aos peritos na lei: “É permitido ou não curar no sábado?”

4 Mas eles ficaram em silêncio. Assim, tomando o homem pela mão, Jesus o curou e o mandou embora.

5 Então ele lhes perguntou: “Se um de vocês tiver um filho ou um boi, e este cair num poço no dia de sábado, não irá tirá-lo imediatamente?”
