Luke 6:7

7 παρετηροῦντο δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι εἰ ἐν τῷ σαββάτῳ θεραπεύει, ἵνα εὕρωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ.

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 καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς · Κύριός ἐστιν τοῦ σαββάτου ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.

6 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ἑτέρῳ σαββάτῳ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν καὶ διδάσκειν · καὶ ἦν ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖ ⸃ καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἡ δεξιὰ ἦν ξηρά ·

7 παρετηροῦντο δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι εἰ ἐν τῷ σαββάτῳ θεραπεύει, ἵνα εὕρωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ.

8 αὐτὸς δὲ ᾔδει τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν, εἶπεν δὲ ⸃ τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ξηρὰν ἔχοντι τὴν χεῖρα · Ἔγειρε καὶ στῆθι εἰς τὸ μέσον · καὶ ἀναστὰς ἔστη.

9 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτούς · Ἐπερωτῶ ὑμᾶς, εἰ ἔξεστιν τῷ σαββάτῳ ⸃ ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι, ψυχὴν σῶσαι ἢ ἀπολέσαι;
