Contextual Overview

¹ One sabbath-day, Jesus went to dine with a Pharisee of the first distinction, where he was strictly observ'd. ² now there happen'd to be a man just by him, who had a dropsy. ³ Jesus therefore addressing himself to the doctors of the law, and to the Pharisees, said, is it allowable to perform a cure on the sabbath-day? to which they made no answer. ⁴ but he laid his hand upon the man, cured him, and dismissed him. ⁵ Then continuing his discourse, which of you, said he, if his child or his ox fell into a pit, would not immediately draw him out, though it were on the sabbath-day? ⁶ and they could not tell what to reply to it.

And they could not answer him again to these things,.... The justice, equity, mercy, and humanity that appeared in our Lord's reasonings, and the cases he instanced in, being agreeable to their own tenets and practices, their mouths were shut up, and they could not return an answer to them, without being exposed,

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 12:11.

Which of you ... - In this way Jesus refuted the notion of the Pharisees. If it was lawful to save an ox on the Sabbath, it was also to save the life of a man. To this the Jews had nothing to answer.
