Context of Luke 6:6

4how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?” 5And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught; and a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7Now the scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse Him. 8But He knew what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and come forward!” And he got up and came forward.

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

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
