Gospel text
Lk 6:6-11
Lk 6:6-11
On a certain Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely to see if he would cure on the Sabbath so that they might discover a reason to accuse him...
Gospel's Commentary
Today we are surprised to see people looking for something they can use to accuse Jesus. Accuse God! Does that not sound ridiculous? Yet it happened then, and it still happens today. What an obsession with trying to put God on the defensive!
—Do you know what happens to those who practice this “sport”? “They became enraged and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.” They become blind and, in the end, do not know what to do with God! How sad!
