Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 11:45

45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also.

This Lawyer was a Scribe of the Law, v. 44. The Work of these Men was to interpret the Law, the Pharisees strictly observed their Decrees, and Interpretations. The Lawyer therefore spake rightly in thinking our Saviours Words, had some reflection upon Men of his order, but he wofully erred both in thinking his own order was unblamable, and also in calling our Lords just Reproof a Reproaching them. But by this he gives an occasion to him, who used rightly to divide the Word of God, and to give every one their Portion out of it, to let them know wherein they were faulty, as well as the Pharisee[illegible: 1 letter].
