Context — The Reaction of the Scribes and Phariseesgenerated

10And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.
11But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.
13When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

Luke 6:11 shows the strong negative reaction of the scribes and Pharisees to Jesus' actions on the Sabbath. After witnessing a miraculous healing, they were filled with rage, leading them to conspire against Him. This moment highlights the conflict between Jesus' ministry and the established religious authorities, setting the stage for further confrontations as detailed in the Gospels.

The Key Word πίμπλημι, plēthō, pimplēmigenerated

The verb πίμπλημι means 'to fill' and is in the aorist passive indicative form, indicating a completed action done to the subject. Here, it describes the scribes and Pharisees being filled with rage, suggesting an overwhelming emotional state that drives their actions.

The passive voice indicates that this filling is something that happened to them, rather than something they did themselves. This emphasizes the intensity of their emotional response, which leads them to plot against Jesus.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is presented in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which uses the phrase were filled with rage. The KJV and ASV also use filled with madness, which conveys a similar sense of emotional turmoil.

The translations differ in their choice of words for ἀνοίας. The BSB and WEB use rage, while the KJV and ASV opt for madness, reflecting the emotional state of the scribes and Pharisees.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is ἐπλήσθησαν, were filled, which governs the subject αὐτοὶ, they, and is followed by an adverbial phrase ἀνοίας, with rage. This structure shows the cause of their emotional state.

The second part of the verse contains a separate clause with the verb διελάλουν, were discussing, and an object τί, what, indicating what they were plotting regarding Jesus.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The verb ἐπλήσθησαν (plēthō), meaning 'were filled', appears in the Septuagint 74 times, rendering the Hebrew מָלֵא (mālē), which conveys the idea of being full or filled. This choice emphasizes the intensity of the scribes and Pharisees' emotions, suggesting they were not just mildly upset but completely consumed with rage.

The phrase ἀλλήλους (allēlōn), meaning 'one another', is linked to the Hebrew words for 'man' (אִישׁ ʾîš) and 'woman' (אִשָּׁה ʾiššāh), indicating a relational dynamic among individuals. This reflects the collaborative nature of their plotting against Jesus, highlighting their unity in opposition.

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it

Bede comments on this verse, highlighting the foolishness of the scribes and Pharisees in plotting against Jesus, who was their needed Savior.

BedeOn the Gospel of Luke c. 673–735
But they themselves were filled with foolishness and conversed among themselves about what they might do to Jesus. Great foolishness indeed, consorting about the death of the Savior, when they themselves were in great need of salvation.

Bede notes that their discussion about Jesus was driven by great foolishness, emphasizing their need for salvation.

And he arose and stood forth. 9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? 10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(11) They were filled with madness.—The expression is peculiar to St. Luke’s report. Communed one with another.—It seems singular that Luke, who in other respects seems to have had so many points of contact with people connected with the Herods (see Introduction), should have omitted the fact which St. Mark records, that it was with the Herodians that the Pharisees took counsel. Possibly, however, his very acquaintance with the men so named may have made him reluctant to give a special prominence to the part they had taken against the Christ. St. Mark, it will be remembered, says that they “took counsel” (or, held a council) that they might destroy Him.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

Ipsi autem repleti sunt insipientia, et colloquebantur ad invicem, quidnam facerent Jesu.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Syriac Peshittaby AD 400

ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܚܣܡܐ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܕܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ

The Bible of the Syriac-speaking church, in the language nearest to the Aramaic Jesus spoke.

Shown verse by verse rather than word by word: aligning a Greek word to its Latin or Syriac counterpart automatically would be guesswork, and a wrong alignment is worse than none.

Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Greek New Testament — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

πίμπλημι is a verb meaning 'to fill,' derived from the root for fullness. It can refer to both literal and figurative filling, such as completing time or satisfying desires. The New Testament uses it in contexts like fulfilling prophecies or being filled with the Holy Spirit. Notably, Abbott-Smith links it to πλήθω, which also means 'to fill,' but the entries do not provide significant disagreement.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἄν, a conditional particle, indicates supposition or possibility and is often untranslatable in English. It is used in various grammatical constructions, particularly in hypothetical sentences, to express what would occur under certain conditions. The New Testament employs it in verses like Luke 7:39 and Galatians 1:10, illustrating its role in conditional statements.

ἄν,

Meaning
This word means to make or do something, and it's used in a very broad sense. It can mean to create, produce, or cause something to happen. In the Bible, it's often used to describe God's creative power, like in Matthew 19:4 and Mark 10:6.

ποιέω is a Greek verb meaning 'to make' or 'to do,' with a wide range of applications including creating, producing, or performing actions. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts relating to God's creative acts or human actions, such as making sacrifices or preparing feasts. Notably, it can also imply causing something to happen or fulfilling a purpose. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word Ἰησοῦς (*Iēsous*) refers primarily to Jesus, the Savior, and is derived from the Hebrew name Joshua or Jehoshua. It appears frequently in the New Testament, denoting Jesus Christ, and also refers to other figures named Jesus, such as Jesus, son of Eliezer, and Jesus Justus. The entries consistently identify it as a common name among Israelites.
