"The passage from the Gospel we have heard is taken from chapter XIV of Luke," explained the Pope, pointing out that "almost the entire chapter, except for a small part at the end, revolves around a meal, around the table, and everything that happens there happens at the table." Hence "the idea of the banquet at the end of the chapter," in the parable told by Jesus, particularly in verses 15-24 proposed by the liturgy of the day.

Referring to the beginning of the chapter, the Pontiff emphasised that "Jesus went to lunch at the house of a Pharisee who had invited him: Jesus always accepted." But "as soon as he entered, he saw a man suffering from dropsy and immediately went to heal him: Jesus always wants to heal us, all of us." However, the Pope recalled, "it was Saturday, all the doctors of the law were there, and he asked permission: 'Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? And "these people, who never said what they thought - they were hypocrites - remained silent".

Jesus healed that sick man.
