Commentaries on Luke 6:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1On the second Sabbath after the first - ͅ ͅ, In the first Sabbath after the second. What does this mean? In answering this question, commentators are greatly divided.

But we must take heed that we mistake not this liberty for…Read the comment
