Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 12:9
And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue: and behold a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him.Following so closely on the preceding, this question amounted to a continuation of the conflict regarding the sabbath day: Their question, Matthew declared, sprang not from a desire to learn, but from hope of a chance to accuse. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 12:11
And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?The obvious answer was affirmative. The Pharisees, with one accord, made an exception for "the ox in the ditch," basing their view upon Exodus 23:4,5 and Deuteronomy 22:4. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 12:12
How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.In this, Christ continued to prove that his conduct and that of his apostles was altogether correct and lawful.

Christ always fitted the deed to the precept and the precept to the deed. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 12:14
But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.Hatred and blind rage will always try to destroy that which cannot be removed by more conventional means. Mark's mention of the Herodians in their conference shows the grounds upon which the Pharisees would attempt his legal murder; that is, by accusing him of sedition. This added to the difficulties confronting Christ in a situation where he was constrained to convince as many as possible of his Messiahship,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 12:9
Matthew 12:9. When he was departed thence— There can be no doubt as to the connection of this history with the preceding, in which all the Evangelists agree; and indeed, had not St. Luke told us, that it was on another sabbath, the words of St. Matthew would have led us to imagine it had been the same day. Perhaps our Lord might spend most of the week in the town, to which the fields above mentioned belonged. See Doddridge and Chemnitz. read more
