Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 6:1-49

Luke 6:1 . On the second sabbath after the first. The Hebrew law is, Leviticus 23:11, on the morrow after the sabbath, the priest shall wave the sheaf east and west, north and south, to denote the universal gratitude which all the earth should pay to heaven for the gift of the harvest. “The Baithuseans,” says Dr. Lightfoot, “contend that the first day of the passover should be on the sabbath, that the offering of the sheaf might fall on the first day of the week. And likewise, that the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 6:1-2

Luke 6:1-2And it came to pass on the second Sabbath after the first, that He went through the corn-fieldsThe second-first SabbathThis is a very difficult phrase, and all explanations of it must be conjectural, as there is apparently no Sabbath designated by this name in any Rabbinical writing.One of the two following explanations seems most likely: 1. Either that it was the Sabbath which occurred during the Octave of Pentecost--the greatest Sabbath of the year being the Passover Sabbath (“that... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:1

§ 33. THE DISCIPLES PLUCKING THE EARS OF CORN, Luke 6:1-5 . Matthew 12:1-8; Mark 2:23-28. 1. Second Sabbath after the first This phrase is in the Greek δευτεροπρωτω , the Latin Vulgate secundum-primum, that is, literally, second-first.

The phrase second-first assumes that there is a succession of numerical counts, so that there may be a first series of 1, 2, 3, and a second series, and perhaps a third ... read more
