Contextual Overview

1 And on the first sabbath after the second day of unleavened bread, he went thro' the corn-fields, and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and ate, rubbing them in their hands. 2 And certain of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day? 3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read, even this, what David did, when he hungered, and they that were with him? 4 How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the shew-bread, and gave also to them that were with him, which it is not lawful to eat, but for the priests only? 5 And he said to them, The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 6 And on another sabbath also he went into the synagogue and taught. 7 And there was a man whose right-hand was withered. And the scribes and Pharisees watched, whether he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him. 8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man that had the withered hand, Rise up and stand forth in the midst. 9 And he arose and stood forth. Then said Jesus to them, I will ask you, Which is lawful on the sabbath, To do good, or to do evil? 10 To save life, or to kill? And looking round upon them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand; and he did so: and his hand was restored as the other.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto them,.... He adds this at the close of the instances he gave, at the end of his vindication of his disciples, and discourse with the Pharisees, as a full answer to their cavils;

that the son of man is Lord also of the sabbath; and may do what he will, and suffer his disciples to do whatever he pleases on that day;
