Augustine of Hippo, on Luke 6:6
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Luke 6:6 · Douay-Rheims
“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.”
On this verse:
“(de Con. Ev. l. ii. c. 35.) But it may be questioned how Matthew came to say, that they asked the Lord, whether it was lawful to heal on the sabbath, when Luke in this place states that they rather were asked of the Lord. We must therefore believe that they first asked the Lord, and that then He understanding by their thoughts that they sought an opportunity to accuse Him, placed the man in the midst whom He was going to heal, and asked the question which Mark and Luke relate Him to have asked. It follows, And looking round about upon them all.”
