Luke 6:2
King James Version
28 Jul 2026
“And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?”
τὶς
Someone, anyone, something. Tis. Scripture often hinges on this small word: if anyone thirsts, let him come. The invitation is unrestricted. No one is excluded from the call.

Φαρισαῖος
Separatist, religious sectarian. Pharisaios. The Pharisees prized external separation and legal precision above all else, yet Jesus reserved his sharpest rebukes for them. Religion without mercy becomes its own kind of lawlessness. Guard your heart against the pride of the set-apart.
