F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 6:1-99

Luke 6 AS WE OPEN this chapter, we see the Pharisees and scribes attempting to confine the actions of the disciples, and then also the gracious power of the Lord, within the limits of the Jewish sabbath, as they were accustomed to enforce it. This illustrates His teaching at the close of chapter 5, and in result the “bottle” of the Jewish sabbath burst, and grace flows forth in spite of them. The words, “The second sabbath after the first,” refer we believe to Lev_23:9-14 , and are intended to... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 6:6-12

The man with the withered hand: v. 6. And it came to pass also on another Sabbath that He entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man whose right hand was withered. v. 7. And the scribes and Pharisees watched Him. whether He would heal on the Sabbath-day, that they might find an accusation against Him. v. 8. But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. v. 9. Then said... read more

c. The Son Of Man, The Lord Of The Sabbath (Luke 6:1-11)(Parallels: Matthew 12:1-14; Mark 2:23 to Mark 3:6.)1And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first,1 that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. 2And certain of the Pharisees said unto them,2 Why do ye that which is not lawfulto do [om., to do3] on the sabbath days? 3And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this [lit.: Not even... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 6:1-11

the Right Use of the Sabbath Luke 6:1-11 It was a brave and bold step for Jesus to set Himself against the ritualistic proscriptions of the ruling religious party of His age. How many who had hoped that He would redeem Israel, must have been hurt by what seemed to be ruthless iconoclasm. But there was no hope of the holy thoughts of God ever emerging from the mass of hide-bound rules and regulations with which the Pharisees had covered them, unless the frost of literalism was broken up with... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 6:1-49

In a synagogue our Lord healed the man with a withered hand, and the religious watchers were filled with anger because, according to their view, our Lord had desecrated the Sabbath. Surely, there is no desecration of divine ordinances so powerful as that severe orthodoxy which clogs the stream of compassion. By fulfilling its intention, the Lord of the Sabbath sacredly kept it in restoring this man to health and power. Luke gives us here the account of our Lord's choosing of the twelve. It is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:6-7

‘And it came about 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, so that they might find how to accuse him.’ Another Sabbath arrived and Jesus once more entered a synagogue in order to teach. His heart was set on communion and fellowship with His Father. And there in the synagogue He saw a man with a withered hand, probably... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:6-11

The Man With The Withered Hand (6:6-11). This final incident in this cycle of stories contrasts the rigidity of the Pharisees with the compassion of Jesus. The one were concerned with the minutiae of the Law, the Other with the heart of God. In it He again reveals that He is Lord of the Sabbath. But it also reveals a deeper message, and that is that He has come to restore what is withered. The word used for ‘withered’ (Greek ‘xeros’ - Hebrew equivalent ‘yabash’) is the same as that used in LXX... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:8

‘But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had his hand withered, “Rise up, and stand forth among us.” And he arose and stood forth.’ Jesus was fully aware of the situation. ‘He knew their thoughts.’ This fact is stressed regularly (compare Luke 5:22). However, they were not hard to assess. We can imagine the long hall, and the Pharisees sitting there in the chief seats, and the pointed silence when Jesus came in, and the eyes turning to look at the paralysed man. Jesus was left in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:9

‘And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to destroy it?” ’ Jesus could see the workings of their hearts. He knew exactly what they were thinking. And He knew that they had it in their minds to have Him killed. So while to the ordinary people His words were about the man and his condition, and He was asking whether he should heal (do good) or refrain from healing (do harm and fail to help the man in his distress), the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:10

‘And he looked round about on them all, and said to him, “Stretch forth your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored.’ Then He looked round at them all, one by one, giving each an opportunity to reply. But all they did was glare back. Then He turned to the man, saying, “Stretch forth your hand.” He knew what He was doing. He knew what the reaction would be. But He knew that He had to do it. They were challenging His very authority to act as He was doing. They were seeking to make Him... read more
