Luke 6:5 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:5

And he said unto them
He adds this at the close of the instances he gave, at the end of his vindication of his disciples, and discourse with the Pharisees, as a full answer to their cavils;

that the son of man is Lord also of the sabbath;
and may do what he will, and suffer his disciples to do whatever he pleases on that day; (See Gill on Matthew 12:8).

Luke 6:5 In-Context

3 And Jesus answered, and said to them [And Jesus answering said to them], Have ye not read, what David did, when he hungered, and they that were with him;

4 how he entered into the house of God, and took loaves of proposition, and ate, and gave to them that were with him; which loaves it was not leaveful to eat, but only to priests [+which it was not leaveful to eat, but to priests alone].

5 And he said to them, For man's Son is Lord, yea, of the sabbath.

6 And it was done [and] in another sabbath, that he entered into a synagogue, and taught. And a man was there, and his right hand was dry.

7 And the scribes and the Pharisees espied him [Forsooth scribes and Pharisees espied him], if he would heal him in the sabbath, that they should find cause, whereof they should accuse him.
