This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 11:44. Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, ὅτι, κ.τ.λ.) Here the Lord does not add τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, as He had added the words in Luk 11:42. Moreover it seems that, together with His discourse, the countenance (look) also of the Lord was turned towards the lawyers, as we may infer from Luk 11:45, where a certain lawyer feels that the Lord’s saying was spoken to him. The words, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι, ὑποκριταὶ, were introduced here from Matthew [Luk 23:27] by some transcribers.[113]-ἄδηλα, hidden [which appear not]) not whitened over [as was the custom in order to warn against defilement].-οὐκ οἴδασιν, they know not) and therefore become defiled.
[113] And through the Harmonies. ADb Lucif. 133 and Rec. Text support the words; except that D and Lucif. omit ὑποκριταί. BCLac Vulg. Memph. omit the words. Tisch. therefore omits them; Lachm. brackets them.-ED. and TRANSL.
