This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Luk 16:17. Δὲ, but) Although I, the Christ, am here, with the Gospel; yet I do not set aside the law; Mat 5:17-18. He refutes the antinomian Pharisees. For there is no trace here or mention of any transition from the Pharisees to the Sadducees. In Luk 16:16-18 the Pharisees’ contempt and abuse of the law, and at the same time the everlasting obligation of the law are noticed; and it is to this that the scope of the whole narrative as to the rich man and his brothers appertains: comp. Luk 16:29 [“They have Moses and the prophets,” etc.].-πεσεῖν) διαπίπτειν נפל, Jos 21:45 “There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken.” LXX. (43) οὐ διέπεσεν].
