Contextual Overview

1And it came to pass, on a Sabbath, as He is going through the grainfields, that His disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands, 2and certain of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths?" 3And Jesus answering said to them, "Did you not read even this that David did when he hungered, himself and those who are with him, 4how he went into the house of God, and took the Bread of the Presentation, and ate, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?" 5And He said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath." 6And it came to pass also, on another Sabbath, that He goes into the synagogue, and teaches, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered, 7and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him, if on the Sabbath He will heal, that they might find an accusation against Him. 8And He Himself had known their reasonings and said to the man having the withered hand, "Rise, and stand in the midst"; and he having risen, stood. 9Then Jesus said to them, "I will question you something: is it lawful on the Sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? To save life or to kill?" 10And having looked around on them all, He said to the man, "Stretch forth your hand"; and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they were filed with madness,.... Both at the cure, and because they could not answer him; nor properly fix a charge upon him, or accuse him before the people, without bringing their resentments on them:

and communed one with another what they might do with Jesus: this they did after they came out of the synagogue, and when with the Herodians, as in :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Were filled with madness - Probably,

  1. Because he had shown his “power” to work a miracle.
  2. Because he had shown his power to do it “contrary” to what “they” thought was right.
  3. Because by doing it he had shown that he was from “God,” and that “they” were therefore “wrong” in their views of the Sabbath. And,
  4. Because he had shown no respect “to their views” of what the law of God demanded.

Pride, obstinacy, malice, and disappointed self-confidence were “all” combined, therefore, in producing madness. Nor were they alone. Men are often enraged because others do good in a way which “they” do not approve of. God gives success to others; and because he has not accommodated himself to “their” views of what is right, and done it in the way which “they” would have prescribed, they are enraged, and filled with envy at people more successful than themselves.

Communed one with another - Spoke together, or laid a plan.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 6:11. They were filled with madness — Pride, obstinacy, and interest, combined together, are capable of any thing. When men have once framed their conscience according to their passions, madness passes for zeal, the blackest conspiracies for pious designs, and the most horrid attempts for heroic actions. QUESNEL.
