Contextual Overview

1 On the Day of Rest Jesus went into the house of one of the leaders of the proud religious law-keepers to eat. They all watched Jesus to see what He would do. 2 A man who had very large arms and legs because of a sickness was put before Jesus. 3 Jesus asked the teachers of the Law and the proud religious law-keepers, "Does the Law say it is right to heal on the Day of Rest, or not?" 4 They did not answer. Jesus took hold of the man and healed him and sent him away. 5 Then Jesus said to the leaders, "If one of you had a cow or donkey that fell into a hole, would you not go at once and pull it out on the Day of Rest?" 6 And they were not able to answer His questions.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
