Summary

In Luke 6:8, Jesus demonstrates His divine authority and compassion by healing a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath. Despite the Pharisees' scrutiny and opposition, Jesus challenges their legalistic interpretation of the Sabbath law, prioritizing mercy and restoration over rigid rules. This incident reveals Jesus' heart for the marginalized and His desire to bring wholeness to those in need, even in the face of religious criticism. It also serves as a reminder to prioritize love and compassion in our actions, following Jesus' example of grace and healing.

John Gill Bible Commentary

Then said Jesus unto them,.... The Scribes and Pharisees, who were watching him, and whose thoughts, and the reasonings of their minds, purposes, and intentions, he full well knew: I will ask you one thing; or question, as they had asked him one before; Mat 12:10 is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? See Gill on Mar 3:4 to which may be added, that to save life on the sabbath day was agreeable to their own canons: there were many things which they allowed might be done on the sabbath day, when life was in danger, which otherwise were not lawful; See Gill on Mat 12:8.
