Expositor's Greek Testament (Nicoll)

Luke 6:11

ἀνοίας : they were filled with senseless anger. They were “mad” at Jesus, because He had broken the Sabbath, as they conceived it, in a way that would make Him popular: humanity and preternatural power combined. τί ἂν ποιήσαιεν : ἂν with the optative in an indirect question, in Lk. only, following classic usage. This combination of occasional classicism with frequent Hebraism is curious. It is noticeable that Lk. does not impute murderous intentions to the opponents of Jesus at this stage, nor combination with politicians to effect truculent designs (vide Mark 3:6).
