Luke 6:7 - Exposition

And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him . The Pharisee emissaries from the capital were carefully watching him. The Master was perfectly aware of their presence, and well knew the spirit in which they listened to his words and marked his acts, and on this sabbath day he was evidently determined to let them see clearly what was in his mind respecting the present state of Jewish religious training.
