On another Sabbath
The phrase "On another Sabbath" situates this event within the context of Jewish religious observance. The Sabbath, a day of rest and worship, is central to Jewish life, rooted in the creation narrative (Genesis 2:2-3) and the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:8-11). The Greek word for Sabbath, "sabbaton," underscores the importance of this day as a time set apart for God. Jesus' actions on the Sabbath often challenged prevailing interpretations of the law, emphasizing the spirit rather than the letter of the law.

Jesus entered the synagogue
The synagogue was the heart of Jewish community life, serving as a place of worship, teaching, and gathering. The Greek word "synagoge" means "assembly" or "gathering." Jesus' entry into the synagogue signifies His role as a teacher and His respect for Jewish customs. His presence in the synagogue highlights His mission to bring the message of the Kingdom of God to the people, often using these settings to reveal deeper truths.

and was teaching
Teaching was a central aspect of Jesus' ministry. The Greek word "didasko" implies instruction and imparting knowledge. Jesus' teaching was authoritative and transformative, often challenging existing religious norms and offering new insights into God's will. His teachings in the synagogue would have been rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures, yet they carried a fresh perspective that pointed to the fulfillment of God's promises.

and a man was there
This phrase introduces the individual who becomes the focus of Jesus' compassionate action. The presence of the man in the synagogue suggests his desire for spiritual nourishment and possibly healing. In the narrative, individuals often represent broader spiritual truths or conditions, and this man's condition sets the stage for a demonstration of Jesus' power and mercy.

whose right hand was withered
The detail of the "right hand" being withered is significant. In biblical symbolism, the right hand often represents strength, power, and blessing (Psalm 118:16). The Greek word "xeros" means dry or withered, indicating a loss of function and vitality. This man's physical condition symbolizes spiritual barrenness and the need for restoration. Jesus' forthcoming miracle not only addresses physical healing but also signifies the restoration of spiritual wholeness and the breaking of legalistic constraints that hinder true worship and compassion.

(6) It came to pass also on another sabbath.--See Notes on Matthew 12:9-14; Mark 3:1-6.

Whose right hand was withered.--St. Luke alone specifies which hand it was that was affected.

Verse 6. - And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. This was the second part of his sabbath teaching. The first had taken place in the open country, in one of the corn-fields near the Lake of Gennesaret. The second was given in a synagogue possibly in the city of Capernaum. St. Luke inserts this scene, which may have taken place several weeks after the one above related, because it completes in a way the teaching of the Lord on this important point of the ceremonial law.
