Jesus accepted the invitation to the house of some of the leading Pharisees.

Jesus accepted an invitation to the house of the Pharisee. He did not shy away from anyone and knew how to get each Pharisee. Thus, he showed his feeling and kindness to man. Suddenly, however, among the present appeared a sick man. Whether he was invited as a guest or came alone, the gospel does not speak of it. He had a water lily, which was a sign of difficulty heart and kidney disease.

The gospel says that the Pharisees and scribes present they watched Jesus the whole time he came, what he would say and do. Especially now, they sharpened their attention when a sick man came. Indeed, many surprised the thought, “It is the Sabbath; it may heal him.”

Jesus seemed to know what they think in their hearts and asked them, “Free to heal on the Sabbath, is it not?” (Luke 14: 3) There were differing views among the Jews on this question. Generally, it was thought that healing was not allowed on Saturdays if it was not possible about death’s danger. The Pharisees also held this view, but they did; perhaps it isn’t enjoyable to say it out loud in this very situation. Maybe that is why it is said: “But they were silent” (Luke 14, 4a). Strict Pharisees forbade the rescue on Saturday of an animal that fell into a tank or well. They were only allowed to feed him and wait for the end of Saturday, that is, at six o’clock in the evening. Milder Pharisees allowed the animal to save now. Jesus said to them, “If any of you fall into a good son or ox, will he not pull it out even on the Sabbath?” (Luke 14: 5)

In this question, Jesus agreed that if something like this happens, it may be an animal to save. And if that happens to a person, no one doubts that he needs to be saved all the more. All the more so when it’s your child. And a sick person needs to refuse rescue? But they could not answer him (cf. Luke 14: 6). Jesus, he gave them a clear answer by taking the sick man, “he healed him and released” (Luke 14: 4b). Jesus had previously asked, “If any of you have a son falling into a well …” if your son falls into the well. God accepted us as His children. We have become God’s sons and daughters out of his love. And so, God reveals that He cares for every person. He is figuratively restless if any of his sons.
