Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 6:6
And it came to pass 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; that they might find how to accuse him.ANOTHER SABBATH CONFRONTATIONThis miracle was performed under test conditions, with avowed enemies of Jesus present and observing it.
