Luke 11:46

46 at ille ait et vobis legis peritis vae quia oneratis homines oneribus quae portari non possunt et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas

Luke 11:46 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:46

And he said, woe unto you also, ye lawyers
Christ was so far from calling back what he had said or suggested, that he repeats and confirms it, and more particularly names them, and enlarges on their evil practices:

for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye
yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers;
(See Gill on Matthew 23:4).

Luke 11:46 In-Context

44 vae vobis quia estis ut monumenta quae non parent et homines ambulantes supra nesciunt

45 respondens autem quidam ex legis peritis ait illi magister haec dicens etiam nobis contumeliam facis

46 at ille ait et vobis legis peritis vae quia oneratis homines oneribus quae portari non possunt et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas

47 vae vobis quia aedificatis monumenta prophetarum patres autem vestri occiderunt illos

48 profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum quoniam quidem ipsi eos occiderunt vos autem aedificatis eorum sepulchra
