WITHERED HAND HEALED. (Luk 6:6-11)
watched whether, &c.--In Matthew (Mat 12:9) this is put as an ensnaring question of theirs to our Lord, who accordingly speaks to the state of their hearts (Luk 6:9), just as if they had spoken it out. |
Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
They watched (παρετηροῦντο)
Imperfect. They kept watching. See on Mar 3:2.
He would heal (θεραπεύσει)
So Rev. Some authorities, however, read θεραπεύει, "whether he is healing." This may mean either "whether it is his habit to heal," which is far-fetched, or "whether he is actually healing."
Find
Peculiar to Luke, and emphasizing the eagerness of the Pharisees to discover a ground of accusation. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Watched him - Παρετηρουν αυτον, They maliciously watched him. This is the import of the word, Luk 14:1; Luk 20:20, and in the parallel place, Mar 3:2. See Raphelius on the last-quoted text, who has proved, by several quotations, that this is the proper meaning of the term.
An accusation against him - Instead of κατηγοριαν αυτου, his accusation, several eminent MSS. and versions add κατα, against, which I find our translators have adopted. |
9 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto [4314] them [846], I will ask [1905] you [5209] one thing [5101]; Is it lawful [1832] on the sabbath days [4521] to do good [15], or [2228] to do evil [2554]? to save [4982] life [5590], or [2228] to destroy [622] it?
9 And [2532] when he was departed [3327] thence [1564], he went [2064] into [1519] their [846] synagogue [4864]:
6 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] also [2532] on [1722] another [2087] sabbath [4521], that he [846] entered [1525] into [1519] the synagogue [4864] and [2532] taught [1321]: and [2532] there [1563] was [2258] a man [444] whose [2532] [846] right [1188] hand [5495] was [2258] withered [3584].
7 And [1161] the scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330] watched [3906] him [846], whether [1487] he would heal [2323] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521]; that [2443] they might find [2147] an accusation [2724] against him [846].
8 But [1161] he [846] knew [1492] their [846] thoughts [1261], and [2532] said [2036] to the man [444] which [3588] had [2192] the withered [3584] hand [5495], Rise up [1453], and [2532] stand forth [2476] in [1519] the midst [3319]. And [1161] he arose [450] and stood forth [2476].
9 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto [4314] them [846], I will ask [1905] you [5209] one thing [5101]; Is it lawful [1832] on the sabbath days [4521] to do good [15], or [2228] to do evil [2554]? to save [4982] life [5590], or [2228] to destroy [622] it?
10 And [2532] looking round about upon [4017] them [846] all [3956], he said [2036] unto the man [444], Stretch forth [1614] thy [4675] hand [5495]. And [1161] he did [4160] so [3779]: and [2532] his [846] hand [5495] was restored [600] whole [5199] as [5613] the other [243].
11 And [1161] they [846] were filled [4130] with madness [454]; and [2532] communed [1255] one with another [4314] [240] what [5101] [302] they might do [4160] to Jesus [2424].
2 And [2532] they watched [3906] him [846], whether [1487] he would heal [2323] him [846] on the sabbath day [4521]; that [2443] they might accuse [2723] him [846].
2 And [2532] they watched [3906] him [846], whether [1487] he would heal [2323] him [846] on the sabbath day [4521]; that [2443] they might accuse [2723] him [846].
20 And [2532] they watched [3906] him, and sent forth [649] spies [1455], which should feign [5271] [1511] themselves [1438] just men [1342], that [2443] they might take hold [1949] of his [846] words [3056], that so [1519] they might deliver [3860] him [846] unto the power [746] and [2532] authority [1849] of the governor [2232].
1 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] he [846] went [2064] into [1519] the house [3624] of one [5100] of the chief [758] Pharisees [5330] to eat [5315] bread [740] on the sabbath [4521] day, that [2532] they [846] watched [2258] [3906] him [846].
