Luke 6:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:7

And the Scribes and Pharisees watched him
(See Gill on Mark 3:2)

whether he would heal on the sabbath day:
there being such an object before him:

that they might find an accusation against him;
as they had before against his disciples.

Luke 6:7 In-Context

5 Then He told them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

6 On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching. A man was there whose right hand was paralyzed.

7 The scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely, to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a charge against Him.

8 But He knew their thoughts and told the man with the paralyzed hand, "Get up and stand here." So he got up and stood there.

9 Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you: is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?"
