Jesus uses this question to cause the people to think about a situation that they already know. This can be written as a statement. AT: "No one tells the wedding attendants of the bridegroom to fast while he is still with them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

##### "You will catch men" #####
|
||||
The New Testament often talks about making disciples or followers of Christ. This is a major ministry of the church. There are many different figures used to describe this in the New Testament. In this chapter, Jesus uses the metaphor of fishing to explain that the disciples of Christ are to gather together other people to become Christ's disciples. It is possible that the whole story of fishing parallels the bountiful harvest of men who will be gathered together to follow Christ. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/disciple]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

In this chapter, Jesus uses the metaphor of fishing to explain that the disciples of Christ are to gather together other people to become Christ's disciples. Jesus helps Simon the fisherman to catch a very large number of fish to show that Jesus will enable Simon and other disciples to gather many people to follow Christ. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/disciple]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

|
||||
##### "Sinful people" #####
|
||||
The Pharisees refer to a group of people as "sinners." What they meant was people who seemed to have no concern for keeping the Law of Moses. However, Luke treats the term "sinners" in an ironic way, because Jesus says that he came to call sinners to repent. By "sinners," Jesus was referring to anyone guilty of sin. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony]])
|
||||
|
||||
##### Fasting and Feasting #####
|
||||
Fasting was often done during a time of repentance. It was not done during joyous times. This is used in contrast to weddings, which were times of great joy with large feasts. Having Jesus on the Earth was a cause of celebration for mankind. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent]])
|
||||
Fasting was often done during times of repentance. It was not done during joyous times. Because the time in which Jesus was with his disciples was a joyous time, he did not tell them to fast until after he was no longer with them. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent]])

Jesus wanted to correct the Pharisees' understanding that it was wrong to heal on the Sabbath. He asked the question as a contrast between doing good and doing evil in order to make it obvious which one is lawful and which one is wrong. AT: "which action does God's law permit—to do good and heal, or to do harm and destroy a life?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

##### "Eating the grain" #####
|
||||
This was a culturally acceptable practice for travelers to eat small amounts of grain off of plants in fields they traveled through or near. Farmers were required to allow this according to the law of Moses. The Pharisees considered this to be "gleaning" and forbade it because they would be working on the Sabbath. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/works]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sabbath]])

##### Implicit information #####
|
||||
There are many instances of Luke including information that would have been implicitly understood by someone in the ancient Near East that may not be understood by someone in a different culture today. An example is the expectation of a time of judgment in the future or possibly that people will be judged at the end of their life ([Luke 6:37](./37.md)). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
