Context of Luke 14:4
2A man whose body was swollen with fluid was there. 3Jesus reacted by asking the Pharisees and the experts in Moses’ Teachings, “Is it right to heal on the day of rest—a holy day, or not?” But they didn’t say a thing. So Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him away. 5Jesus asked them, “If your son or your ox falls into a well on a day of rest—a holy day, wouldn’t you pull him out immediately?” 6They couldn’t argue with him about this.

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
