Luke 6:4

And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. For the exposition, see the notes at Matthew 12:1....

1-5 Christ justifies his disciples in a work of necessity for themselves on the sabbath day, and that was plucking the ears of corn when they were hungry. But we must take heed that we mistake not this liberty for leave to commit sin. Christ will have us to know and remember that it is his day, therefore to be spent in his service, and to his honour....

Verse Luke 6:4. After this verse, the _Codex Bezae_ and _two_ ancient MSS. quoted by _Wechel_, have the following extraordinary addition: Τῃ αυτῃ ἡμερᾳ θεασαμενος τινα εργαζομενον τῳ σαββατῳ, ειπεν αυτῳ, Ανθρωπε, ει μεν οιδας τι ποιεις μακαριος ει; ει δε μη οιδας επικαταρατος, και παραβατης ειτου νομου. _On the same day, seeing one working on_ _the Sabbath, he said unto him, Man, if indeed thou knowest what_ _thou dost, blessed art thou; but if thou knowest not, thou art_ _cursed, and art a transgressor of the law_. Whence this strange addition proceeded, it is hard to tell. The meaning seems to be this: If thou now workest on the Jewish Sabbath, from a conviction that that Sabbath is abolished, and a new one instituted in its place, then _happy art thou_, for thou hast got Divine instruction in the nature of the Messiah's kingdom; but if thou d

EXPOSITION LUKE 6:1 _The Lord_'_s teaching on the question of the observance of the sabbath._ LUKE 6:1 AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE SECOND SABBATH AFTER THE FIRST. The expression accompanying this note of time of St. Luke, "the second sabbath after the first," more literally, "the second-first sabbath," has always been a difficulty with expositors of this Gospel. The word is absolutely unique, and is found in no other Greek author. Recent investigations in the text of the New Testament have proved that this word is not found in the majority of the more ancient authorities. Of the modern critical editors, Alford and Lachmann enclose the disputed word in brackets; Tregelles and Meyer omit it altogether; but the Revisers of the En

SABBATH OBSERVANCE (Mark 2:23 *, Matthew 12:1 *). There is little change to note here. No satisfactory explanation has been found of Luke 6:1 _mg._ It is a gloss not found in the best MSS. Codex Bezæ in Lk. transfers Luke 6:5 to the end of Luke 6:10 and in its place has, On the same day He saw a man working on the Sabbath and said to him, - Man, if thou knowest what thou doest, blessed art thou; but if thou knowest not thou art accursed and a transgressor of the law.-' Montefiore thinks the saying too subtle and Pauline to be authentic, doubting whether Jesus would have so open

One Sabbath day, Jesus happened to be going through the corn fields, and his disciples were plucking the ears of corn and rubbing them in their hands and eating them. Some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is illegal to do on the Sabbath?" Jesus answered, "Have you not read what David did when he and his comrades were hungry?--how he went into the house of God and took the loaves of the presence and ate them and gave them to his comrades, although it is not legal for any but the priests to eat them. The Son of Man," he said to them, "is the Lord of the Sabbath." This is the first of two incidents which show the opposition to Jesus rapidly coming out into the open and which make it clear that the immediate charge against him was that he was a breaker of the Sabbath law. He and his disciples were passing Along one of the paths which intersected the corn fields. The fact that...
