Notes

Luke 6:8

Get up and stand among us: Jesus did not avoid controversy. He was willing to confront the Pharisees’ hypocrisy directly.

Luke 6:1–11

The conflicts between Jesus and the religious leaders continued with two disagreements about the Sabbath. The law of Moses required the Jews to rest on the Sabbath (Exodus 20:8–11; Deuteronomy 5:13–14). But the Pharisees had forgotten that the real reason for the Sabbath was to benefit human beings.
