Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Teacher, thus saying you reproach us also.
All Commentaries on Luke 11:45 Go To Luke 11
Ephrem The Syrian
AD 373
Woe to you, lawyers, because you have hidden the keys! That is, because they had hidden the knowledge of our Lord’s manifestation which was in the prophecies. If our Lord is the door, as he has said, it is clear that the keys of knowledge belong to him. The scribes and Pharisees did not want to enter through this door of life, in keeping with what he had said, “See, the kingdom is among you.” [He was referring to] himself, for he was standing in their midst.
