Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Luke 13:15-16 “You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water? / Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?” Exodus 23:4-5 If you encounter your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him. / If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.

Then He asked them This phrase indicates a direct engagement by Jesus with His audience, often the Pharisees or religious leaders. The Greek word for "asked" (ἐρωτάω, erōtaō) implies a questioning that seeks to provoke thought or challenge assumptions. Jesus frequently used questions to lead His listeners to self-reflection and deeper understanding. In this context, He is challenging the prevailing interpretations of the Sabbath law, encouraging His audience to consider the spirit rather than the letter of the law. Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out? Fallen into a pit.--Literally, into a well, as in John 4:6-11, but the word was applied also, as in Revelation 9:1-2, to "wells without water"--i.e., as here, to "pits." . . . Verse 5. - And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? Most of the older authorities here, instead of" an ass or an ox," read "a son or an ox." The difference here in the reading without doubt arises from the perplexity which was felt in very early days over the strangeness of the collocation of "a son and an ox." This is the reading, however, which, according to all the acknowledged principles of criticism, we must consider the true one. The meaning is clear. "If thy son, or even, to take a very different comparison, thy ox, were to fall into a pit, wouldn't you," etc.? How the sophistries of the scribes and the perplexing traditions of the Jerusalem rabbis on their sabbath restrictions must have been torn asunder by the act of mercy and power performed, and the words of Divine wisdom spoken by the Physician-Teacher of Galilee! The noble instincts even of the jealous Pharisees must have been for a moment stirred. Even they, at times, rose above the dreary, lightless teaching with which the rabbinical schools had so marred the old Divine Law. Dr. Farrar quotes a traditional instance of this. "When Hillel" - afterwards the great rabbi and head of the famous school which bore his name - "then a poor porter, had been found half-frozen under masses of snow in the window of the lecture-room of Shemaiah and Abtation, where he had hidden himself, to profit by their wisdom, because he had been unable to earn the small fee for entrance, they had rubbed and resuscitated him, though it was the sabbath day, and had said that he was one for whose sake it was well worth while to break the sabbath."Parallel Commentaries ...
