Luke 6:7-11 NLT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 6:1-11

These two passages of story we had both in Matthew and Mark, and they were there laid together (Matt. 12:1; Mark 2:23; 3:1), because, though happening at some distance of time from each other, both were designed to rectify the mistakes of the scribes and Pharisees concerning the sabbath day, on the bodily rest of which they laid greater stress and required greater strictness than the Law-giver intended. Here, I. Christ justifies his disciples in a work of necessity for themselves on that day,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 6:6-11

6:6-11 On another Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and was teaching, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. The Scribes and the Pharisees watched him to see if he would heal on the Sabbath day in order to find a charge against him. He knew well what they were thinking. He said to the man with the withered hand, "Rise, and stand in the midst." He rose and stood. Jesus said to them, "Here is a question for you--is it legal to do good on the Sabbath day or to do evil? To... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:7

And the Scribes and Pharisees watched him ,.... See Gill on Mark 3:2 . whether he would heal on the sabbath day : there being such an object before him: that they might find an accusation against him ; as they had before against his disciples. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:8

But he knew their thoughts ,.... Being the omniscient God; though they had said nothing of their intentions, he knew what they designed, should he heal the man with his withered hand, as they expected he would: and said to the man which had the withered hand, rise up, and stand forth in the midst . The Syriac and Persic versions add, "of the synagogue", and which is the true sense; See Gill on Mark 3:3 . and he arose and stood forth ; he rose up from his seat, and stood up in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:9

Then said Jesus unto them ,.... The Scribes and Pharisees, who were watching him, and whose thoughts, and the reasonings of their minds, purposes, and intentions, he full well knew: I will ask you one thing ; or question, as they had asked him one before; Matthew 12:10 is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it ? See Gill on Mark 3:4 to which may be added, that to save life on the sabbath day was agreeable to their own canons: there... read more

And looking round about upon them all ,.... The Scribes and Pharisees, and the rest of the people in the synagogue; See Gill on Mark 3:5 . he said to the man ; who had the withered hand, stretch forth thy hand, and he did so ; he stretched it out, as the Syriac and Persic versions render it, which he was not able to do before: and his hand was restored well as the other ; the phrase, "well as the other", is left out in one copy, and in the Vulgate Latin version; and so is the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:11

And they were filed with madness ,.... Both at the cure, and because they could not answer him; nor properly fix a charge upon him, or accuse him before the people, without bringing their resentments on them: and communed one with another what they might do with Jesus : this they did after they came out of the synagogue, and when with the Herodians, as in See Gill on Mark 3:6 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:7

Watched him - Παρετηρουν αυτον , They maliciously watched him. This is the import of the word, Luke 14:1 ; Luke 20:20 , and in the parallel place, Mark 3:2 . See Raphelius on the last-quoted text, who has proved, by several quotations, that this is the proper meaning of the term. An accusation against him - Instead of κατηγοριαν αυτου , his accusation, several eminent MSS. and versions add κατα , against, which I find our translators have adopted. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:10

Whole as the other - Many MSS., both here and in the parallel place, Mark 3:5 , omit the word ὑγιης , whole. Griesbach leaves it out of the text. The hand was restored as the other. But had it only been a luxated joint, even allowing, with a German critic, that the bone regained its place by the effort made to stretch out the arm, without the intervention of a miracle, it would have required several weeks to restore the muscles and ligaments to their wonted tone and strength. Why all... read more
