Luke 6:6-11

The Lord of the Sabbath Forms a Kingdom People

Luke moves from Sabbath controversy to apostolic formation, from healing power to kingdom teaching, and from blessing and enemy-love to the demand for obedient foundations under Jesus' word.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6 On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7 Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

9 Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

10 And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11 But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
