# Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath ... or to kill?
|
|
|
|
Jesus said this to challenge them. He wanted them to acknowledge that it is lawful to heal people on the Sabbath. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

|
# to do good on the Sabbath day or to do harm ... to save a life or to kill
|
|
|
|
These two phrases are similar in meaning, except that the second is more extreme. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])

# to save a life or to kill
|
|
|
|
It may be helpful to repeat "is it lawful," as that is the question Jesus is asking again in another way. Alternate translation: "is it lawful to save a life or to kill" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-ellipsis]])
|
|
|
|
# to save a life
|
|
|
|
"to save someone's life" or "to save someone from dying"
|
|
|
|
# But they were silent
|
|
|
|
"But they refused to answer him"
