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 And he said unto them, The Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.

6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day, that they might find an accusation against him.

8 But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good or to do evil? to save a person or to destroy them?
