Luke 13:17
Compare all
15 The Lord then answered him and said,1 “Hypocrite! aDoes not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?  
16 So ought not this woman, abeing a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”  
17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were adone by Him.  

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

18 aThen He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?  
19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a1 large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

Barnes' Notes
<< Luke 13:16   Luke 13:18 >>


Luke 13:17

Adversaries - The ruler of the synagogue, and those who felt as he did.

All the people - The persons who attended the synagogue, and who had witnessed the miracle. It is to be remarked:

1.That those who opposed Christ were chiefly the "rulers." They had an "interest" in doing it. Their popularity was at stake. They were afraid that he would draw off the people from them.

2.The common people heard him gladly. Many of them believed in him. The condition of the poor, and of those in humble life, is by far the most favorable for religion, and most of the disciples of Jesus have been found there.
