SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:19
entonces lo tomarán su padre y su madre, y lo sacarán a los ancianos de su ciudad, y a la puerta del lugar suyo;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him , etc.] With their own hands, or cause him to be apprehended by others, in which they were to agree, and which the Jews gather from hence; “if (say they f295 ) the father is willing (to bring him to justice), and the mother not willing, if his father is not willing and the mother is willing, he is not reckoned a stubborn or rebellious son, until they both agree:” and bring him out unto the elders of his city ; according to the Misnah f296 , the sanhedrim, or court of judicature, consisting of twenty three; for they say, that after he has been admonished and scourged by order of the bench of three, if he returns to his corrupt and wicked ways again, he is judged by the court of twenty three: and unto the gate of his place ; or city, where the court sat; so the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, to the gate of the sanhedrim of his place.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-21 - Observe how the criminal is here described. He is a stubborn an rebellious son. No child was to fare the worse for weakness of capacity, slowness, or dulness, but for wilfulness and obstinacy Nothing draws men into all manner of wickedness, and hardens them in i more certainly and fatally, than drunkenness. When men take to drinking, they forget the law of honouring parents. His own father an mother must complain of him to the elders of the city. Children wh forget their duty, must thank themselves, and not blame their parents if they are regarded with less and less affection. He must be publicl stoned to death by the men of his city. Disobedience to a parent' authority must be very evil, when such a punishment was ordered; nor is it less provoking to God now, though it escapes punishment in thi world. But when young people early become slaves to sensual appetites the heart soon grows hard, and the conscience callous; and we can expect nothing but rebellion and destruction.
