Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:6-8

Luke again noted the primacy of Jesus’ teaching over His performing miracles (cf. Luke 4:15-16; Luke 4:31-33). He also mentioned that it was the right hand of the man that was useless, a detail of particular interest to a doctor. This detail shows the seriousness of the man’s case. Most people are right-handed. By now the religious leaders (cf. Luke 6:7) were looking for an occasion to criticize Jesus publicly believing that they had a case against Him. Jesus probably knew their thoughts at... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:6-11

6. Jesus’ attitude toward the Sabbath 6:6-11 (cf. Matthew 12:9-14; Mark 3:1-6)This incident happened on a different Sabbath from the one in the preceding pericope (Luke 6:6). Note the similar terms Luke used to introduce both events. He evidently placed it here in his narrative because it builds on the idea of Jesus’ authority over the Sabbath and advances it even further than the previous pericope does. As the authoritative Son of Man, Jesus declared that it was lawful to do good on the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:9

Jesus’ question had two parts. He first asked if it was lawful to do good on the Sabbath or if it was lawful to do evil. The obvious answer was that doing good was lawful but doing evil was not lawful. God had instituted the Sabbath for the welfare of humankind. His attitude of love should have characterized the Israelites as they observed the day. They, too, should have made it a special day for the blessing of people. The second part of Jesus’ question particularized it and pointed to its... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:10

There was only one answer that the religious leaders could give. It was lawful to do good and unlawful to do evil on the Sabbath. However, they refused to answer because their answer virtually would have given Jesus their approval to heal the man. They did not want to do that because they wanted to retain their traditional abstinence from Sabbath activities. Jesus proceeded to do good and healed the man’s hand, but He did so without performing any physical work. There was nothing the critics... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 6:11

Understandably the response of Jesus’ critics was violent. "Rage" or "furious" translates the Greek word anoia, which refers to senseless wrath (cf. 2 Timothy 3:9)."He humiliated the religious leaders and healed the man all at the same time without even breaking the Pharisees’ law. It is no wonder that the religious establishment was furious and sought a way to get rid of Him." [Note: Martin, p. 219.] Luke 6:11 is the climax of Luke’s section that describes the beginning of Jesus’ controversy... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:1-49

Choice of the Twelve. Sermon in the Plain1-5. Plucking the ears of corn (Matthew 12:1; Mark 2:23). See on Mt and Mk.1. On the second sabbath after the first] Gk. deuteroprôton, lit. ’second-first.’ There is considerable ground for omitting this obscure expression as interpolated, and reading simply, ’on a sabbath,’ with the RV. If, however, it is genuine, it probably means, ’on the second sabbath after the waving of the sheaf on the second day of the Passover festival’ (see Leviticus 23:1-15).... read more
