Lukas 14:4

4 Maar zij zwegen stil. En Hij nam hem, en genas hem, en liet hem gaan.

Lukas 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.

Lukas 14:4 In-Context

2 En ziet, er was een zeker waterzuchtig mens voor Hem.

3 En Jezus, antwoordende, zeide tot de wetgeleerden en Farizeen, en sprak: Is het ook geoorloofd op den sabbat gezond te maken?

4 Maar zij zwegen stil. En Hij nam hem, en genas hem, en liet hem gaan.

5 En Hij, hun antwoordende, zeide: Wiens ezel of os van ulieden zal in een put vallen, en die hem niet terstond zal uittrekken op den dag des sabbats?

6 En zij konden Hem daarop niet weder antwoorden.
