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 He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

5 Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

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

7 Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.
