And answered them, saying,
Which of you shall have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?
All Commentaries on Luke 14:5 Go To Luke 14
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
By this example Christ convicts his adversaries, as guilty of sordid avarice, since, in delivering beasts from the danger of perishing on the sabbath-day, they consult only their own advantage, whilst he was only employed in an act of charity towards his neighbour; an action they seemed so warmly to condemn. (Ven. Bede)
