Luke 6:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:6

And it came to pass also on another sabbath
Whether the following sabbath, or some time after, is not certain,

that he entered into the synagogue.
The Arabic version reads, "into their synagogue", as in ( Matthew 12:9 ) the synagogue of the Jews; in what place, whether at Capernaum, or some other city of Galilee, is not so clear: and taught;
explained the Scriptures to the people, and instructed them in the doctrines of the Gospel:

and there was a man whose right hand was withered;
who was in the synagogue, and one of his hearers; (See Gill on Matthew 12:10)

Luke 6:6 In-Context

4 how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread which is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions ?"

5 And He was saying to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

6 On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.

7 The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him.

8 But He knew what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and come forward !" And he got up and came forward.
