Contextual Overview

¹On one of the Days of Rest, Jesus went to eat at the home of one the leaders of the Pharisees. Many people were watching him closely to see what Jesus would do. ²A man approached Jesus who had arms and legs that were swollen up like a bloated cow. ³Jesus asked the religious leaders and teachers of Moses's code, "Does the code of Moses allow healing on the day of rest or not?" ⁴Everyone was scared to answer. Jesus shook his head and then healed the man and sent him away. ⁵Then he turned back to them and said, "If any of you had a child who fell into a well, wouldn't you get them out—even if it was on the day of rest? Wouldn't you do it even if it was a donkey?" ⁶But nobody said a word.

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.
