Context of Luke 6:6

4Haven’t you read how he went into the house of God, ate the bread of the presence, and gave some of it to the men who were with him? He had no right to eat those loaves. Only the priests have that right.” 5Then he added, “The Son of Man has authority over the day of rest—a holy day.” On another day of rest—a holy day, Jesus went into a synagogue to teach. A man whose right hand was paralyzed was there. 7The experts in Moses’ Teachings and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely. They wanted to see whether he would heal the man on the day of rest—a holy day, so that they could find a way to accuse him of doing something wrong. 8But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Get up, and stand in the center ⌞of the synagogue⌟!” The man got up and stood there.

Commentaries on Luke 6:6

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Whose right hand was withered - See on Matthew 12:10; (note), etc. The critic who says that signifies a luxated arm, and that the stretching it out restored the bone to its proper place, without the intervention of a miracle, deserves no serious refutation. See on Luke 6:10; (note).Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-11Verses 6-11 Christ was neither ashamed nor afraid to own the purposes of his grace. He healed the poor man, though he knew that his enemies would take advantage against him for it. Let us not be drawn either from our duty or from our usefulness by any opposition. We may well be amazed, that the sons of men should be so wicked.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 6-7were watching Him closely: Jesus had a reputation for putting human needs above Sabbath commands. So, the religious leaders hoped to catch Jesus working on the Sabbath day. if He would heal on the Sabbath: The Jewish rabbis in the time of Jesus debated whether the law allowed people to offer medical help on the Sabbath. It was usually allowed only in extreme emergencies. The withered hand was clearly not an emergency.Read the comment
