LUKE 12:45 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;”
When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing — the two responses to kingdom signs (humiliation of opponents, delight of the people) characterize the contested reception of Jesus throughout Luke. The daughter of Abraham's liberation is both a healing miracle and a Sabbath polemic, and the two reactions correspond to the two ways of receiving it.
