"Jesus spoke to the scholars of the law and Pharisees in reply, asking,
“Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath or not?”
But they kept silent; so he took the man and, after he had healed him, dismissed him." (Luke 14: 3 - 4)
Why did they keep silent? Probably because of malicious intent. They did not care for the condition of the man with dropsy and watched intently to see what Jesus would do on the Sabbath.
Only a few days ago, we read:
"Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath. And a woman was there who for eighteen years had been crippled by a spirit; she was bent over, completely incapable of standing erect." (Luke 13: 10 - 11).
The Pharisees and the law makers opposed her healing.
Who are the scholars of the law and Pharisees today? May we say politicians and law makers, community leaders and all of us who are unaware of the reason for our vocation in life: to enhance and save lives. Man needs God today more than ever before in the history of the world
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." (John 10: 27).
