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 to them, "The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath."

6 Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7 So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him.

8 But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, "Arise and stand here." And he arose and stood.

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