Read Luke 13.10-21. In 13.10-21. In verses 10-17: The bent woman. This is the third controversy about sabbath observance (6.1-5; 6.6-11, see also 14.1-6), and Jesus is again teaching in a synagogue (4.14-30, 31-38, 44). In verse 14-15: Deut 5.13 and Ex 20.9-10 prohibited work on the sabbath, but Deut 22.1-4 commanded help for a neighbor's ox or donkey. Jesus' contemporaries debated what "work' was rightly prohibited and what was required. In verse 16: Jesus' argument takes a classic rabbinic form, "So much more" should a daughter of Abraham deserve and require this special "work," healing (see 14.5). In verses 18-21 The hidden kingdom. These two parables or remarkable growth convey the living, dynamic sense of the kingdom of God fulfilling the promises (see Dan 4.10-12; Ezek 17.22-24; 31.2-9). In verse 21: Yeast is a surprising image because of its "uncleanness" (see 12.1). Comments or Questions..
