<< Luke 16:17 Luke 16:19 >>
Luke 16:18
putteth away his wife, etc.—(See on Matthew 19:3-9). Far from intending to weaken the force of the law, in these allusions to a new economy, our Lord, in this unexpected way, sends home its high requirements with a pungency which the Pharisees would not fail to feel.
Luke 16:14-18
covetous . . . derided him—sneered at Him; their master sin being too plainly struck at for them to relish. But it was easier to run down than to refute such teaching.
