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

‘But they were filled with mad fury, and discussed together one with another what they might do to Jesus.’ So they were mad with blind fury. All they could think of was how they could get rid of this man who was such a bain on their lives. Neither His compassion, nor His power to work miracles, moved them. For here was a man who was guilty of the greatest crime that a man of that day could commit. He did not agree with them, and said so. In view of the parallel in the chiasmus it is clear that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 6:1-11

Luke 6:1-1 Kings : . Sabbath Observance ( Mark 2:23-Hosea : *, Matthew 12:1-2 Chronicles : *).— There is little change to note here. No satisfactory explanation has been found of Luke 6:1 mg. It is a gloss not found in the best MSS. Codex Bezæ in Lk. transfers Luke 6:5 to the end of Luke 6:10 and in its place has, “ On the same day He saw a man working on the Sabbath and said to him, ‘ Man, if thou knowest what thou doest, blessed art thou; but if thou knowest not thou art accursed and a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 6:6-11

See Poole on "Matthew 12:10", and following verses to Matthew 12:13, See Poole on "Mark 3:1", and following verses to Mark 3:5. In both which places we met with the same history, and with some more circumstances. Mark tells us that the subject of their deliberation, what they might do to Jesus, was, how they might destroy him; this the evangelist maketh the effect of their madness, ανοιας, and he very properly so calls it. For men to answer arguments and reason with violence, is for them to act... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 6:1-11

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 6:1. Second Sabbath after the first.—Or, “second-first Sabbath.” This is an almost unintelligible phrase. It is omitted in some very ancient MSS., and is relegated to the margin in the R.V. The fact that it is a difficult phrase is in favour of its genuineness. It is easy to account for its omission in some MSS., but not easy to account for its insertion in others if it were not in the original text. One of the many suggestions as to the phrase is that it means “the first... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 6:10

Luke 6:10 Note: I. That spiritual powerlessness, of which the withered hand is a just and appropriate symbol. (1) The organ was a hand the organ of touch. (2) Not both this man's hands were withered, but the better and more serviceable of the two. Faith is the spiritual faculty, corresponding to the bodily faculty of touch. (3) It was the design of Nature that the man should use his hand, but disease had thwarted this design. So, in the Fall, the spirit of man sustained a wreck. II. What Christ... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 6:1-49

Chapter 6Now it came to pass on the second Sabbath ( Luke 6:1 )Now He is going to deal with a couple of instances on the Sabbath day. We've been introduced now to the Pharisees; they're beginning to really get into it and trying to find fault with Jesus and condemn Him for the things He is doing. And they condemned Him for eating with the publicans. He, of course, spoke out against their condemnation, telling them, "Hey, you guys belong in the old skins, and so I am just going not try and give... read more

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
