Marcos 3:2

2 E observavam-no para ver se no sábado curaria o homem, a fim de o acusarem.

Marcos 3:2 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:2

And they watched him
The ruler of the synagogue, and the principal men in it; particularly the Scribes and Pharisees, who followed him wherever he went; they observed him diligently, and kept their eyes upon him; this lame man being in the synagogue, to see

whether he would heal him on the sabbath day;
which, knowing his readiness to do good, they might expect he would:

that they might accuse him;
as they had accused his disciples before, of the violation of the sabbath: according to the Evangelist Matthew, they put a question to him, whether it was lawful to heal on the sabbath day? with this view, that they might, one way or another, have something to accuse him of, either to the people, or to the sanhedrim; (See Gill on Matthew 12:10).

Marcos 3:2 In-Context

1 Outra vez entrou numa sinagoga, e estava ali um homem que tinha uma das mãos atrofiada.
2 E observavam-no para ver se no sábado curaria o homem, a fim de o acusarem.
3 E disse Jesus ao homem que tinha a mão atrofiada: Levanta-te e vem para o meio.
4 Então lhes perguntou: É lícito no sábado fazer bem, ou fazer mal? salvar a vida ou matar? Eles, porém, se calaram.
5 E olhando em redor para eles com indignação, condoendo-se da dureza dos seus corações, disse ao homem: Estende a tua mão. Ele estendeu, e lhe foi restabelecida.
