Context of Luke 14:4
2A sick man came up to Jesus. His arms and legs had grown fat, because they were full of water. 3So Jesus spoke to the Pharisees and to the teachers of God's Law. He asked them, ‘Is it right for us to make someone well on our day of rest, or not?’ But they would not say anything. So Jesus took the sick man and he made him well again. Then he let him go away. 5Then Jesus asked the people, ‘Maybe one of you has a son or an animal that falls into a well on our day of rest. What will you do? You will pull the child or the animal out of the well immediately.’ 6When Jesus said this, they could not say anything else.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4They held their peace - They were silent. They “could” not say it was not lawful, for the law did not forbid it. If it had they would have said it. Here was the time for them to make objections if they had any, and not after the man was healed; and as they “made” no objection “then,” they could not with consistency afterward. They were, therefore, effectually silenced and confounded by the Saviour. He took him - Took hold of the man, or perhaps took him…Read the comment
