Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 53. - And as he said these things unto them. The older authorities here, instead of these words, read, and when he was gone out from thence. Thus, after uttering the last "woe," Jesus appears abruptly to have risen and left the house of his Pharisee entertainers. A crowd of angry men, composed of scribes and lawyers and friends of the Pharisee party, appear to have followed the Galilaean Teacher, whose words just spoken had publicly shown the estimation in which he held the great schools of religious thought which then in great measure guided public Jewish opinion. From henceforth there could be only one end to the unequal combat. The bold outspoken Teacher must, at all hazards, be put out of the way.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(53) And as he said these things unto them.--The better MSS. give, "When He had gone forth from thence . . . ," as though Jesus had left the house after uttering the "woe" of Luke 11:52, and was followed by the crowd of angry and embittered disputants.To provoke him to speak.--The Greek verb has literally the sense of "causing to speak impromptu, without thought," and is happily enough rendered by the English text.
