Luke precedes this story by saying the news of Jesus healing people had spread widely, so crowds came to hear him preach and be healed of their sicknesses. He continues by saying Jesus was teaching while the Pharisees and teachers were sitting there. They had come from all over Israel. They likely had come to see if the rumors of his healing power were true, and if he was following the rules of the Pharisees. This was early in Jesus’s ministry and he had not yet criticized the Pharisees or made enemies of them.
