| Summary: | In Luke 13:10–17, Jesus becomes embroiled in a controversy over conflicting interpretations of the Sabbath law in a local synagogue. Interpreters have tended to neglect the local-official background and synagogue context of the passage. Some scholars have even gone so far as to treat the synagogue setting as Lucan redaction, thus trivializing its relevance for historical investigation. In contrast, I situate the interpretation of this passage within the evidence pertaining to the mechanics and procedure of legal interpretation and deliberation in early synagogue settings. I conclude that Luke 13:10–17 is best understood in light of current synagogue scholarship on both the Lucan and historical levels. |
