Luke 6:7

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 6:1-49

TEACHING FORGIVENESS OF SIN (Luke 5:17-26 ) Comparing this with Mark 2:1 , we find it took place in Capernaum, and possibly in the house in which our Lord dwelt (Matthew 9:1 ). What proof it contains of the deity of Christ. JESUS’ EARTHLY MISSION (Luke 5:27-32 ) Levi, as we saw in Mark 2:0 , is Matthew whose faith in following Jesus is more remarkable than that of Peter, for he had more to relinquish. He soon showed his faith further by his works (Luke 5:29 ). But though he made “a great... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 6:6-11

(6) And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. (7) And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him, (8) But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. (9) Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:6-11

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 more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 6:1-99

Luke 6 AS WE OPEN this chapter, we see the Pharisees and scribes attempting to confine the actions of the disciples, and then also the gracious power of the Lord, within the limits of the Jewish sabbath, as they were accustomed to enforce it. This illustrates His teaching at the close of chapter 5, and in result the “bottle” of the Jewish sabbath burst, and grace flows forth in spite of them. The words, “The second sabbath after the first,” refer we believe to Lev_23:9-14 , and are intended to... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 6:1-11

c. The Son Of Man, The Lord Of The Sabbath (Luke 6:1-11)(Parallels: Matthew 12:1-14; Mark 2:23 to Mark 3:6.)1And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first,1 that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. 2And certain of the Pharisees said unto them,2 Why do ye that which is not lawfulto do [om., to do3] on the sabbath days? 3And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this [lit.: Not even... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 6:1-11

the Right Use of the Sabbath Luke 6:1-11 It was a brave and bold step for Jesus to set Himself against the ritualistic proscriptions of the ruling religious party of His age. How many who had hoped that He would redeem Israel, must have been hurt by what seemed to be ruthless iconoclasm. But there was no hope of the holy thoughts of God ever emerging from the mass of hide-bound rules and regulations with which the Pharisees had covered them, unless the frost of literalism was broken up with... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 6:1-49

In a synagogue our Lord healed the man with a withered hand, and the religious watchers were filled with anger because, according to their view, our Lord had desecrated the Sabbath. Surely, there is no desecration of divine ordinances so powerful as that severe orthodoxy which clogs the stream of compassion. By fulfilling its intention, the Lord of the Sabbath sacredly kept it in restoring this man to health and power. Luke gives us here the account of our Lord's choosing of the twelve. It is... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:6-7

‘And it came about on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered. And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath, so that they might find how to accuse him.’ Another Sabbath arrived and Jesus once more entered a synagogue in order to teach. His heart was set on communion and fellowship with His Father. And there in the synagogue He saw a man with a withered hand, probably... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:6-11

The Man With The Withered Hand (6:6-11). This final incident in this cycle of stories contrasts the rigidity of the Pharisees with the compassion of Jesus. The one were concerned with the minutiae of the Law, the Other with the heart of God. In it He again reveals that He is Lord of the Sabbath. But it also reveals a deeper message, and that is that He has come to restore what is withered. The word used for ‘withered’ (Greek ‘xeros’ - Hebrew equivalent ‘yabash’) is the same as that used in LXX... read more
