Scripture focus
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
Luke 13:14 — KJV
The ruler. See p. 56; see on Mark 5:22.
Answered. No one had spoken to the ruler or asked him a question. He was responding to the situation created by the healing of the infirm woman, and in this sense what he said was an “answer” (see on chapter 14:3).
Unto the people. The ruler of the synagogue was angry at Jesus, but apparently he hesitated to address his attack to Jesus personally and therefore addressed his remarks to the audience.
There are six days. According to rabbinical regulations emergency cases might be given a minimum of attention on the Sabbath, but not chronic cases. It is possible that this woman had been attending this particular synagogue for the entire 18 years of her “infirmity,” and her case would not be classified as urgent. According to this line of reasoning, the woman could as well wait till after the Sabbath (see on Mark 1:32, 33; 3:1-6; John 5:16).
