Contextual Overview
1 One time on a Sabbath day, Jesus was walking through some grain fields. His followers picked the grain, rubbed it in their hands, and ate it. 2 Some Pharisees said, "Why are you doing that? It is against the Law of Moses to do that on the Sabbath day." 3 Jesus answered, "You have read about what David did when he and the people with him were hungry. 4 David went into God's house. He took the bread that was offered to God and ate it. And he gave some of the bread to the people with him. This was against the Law of Moses, which says that only the priests can eat that bread." 5 Then Jesus said to the Pharisees, "The Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath day." 6 On another Sabbath day Jesus went into the synagogue and taught the people. A man with a crippled right hand was there. 7 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely. They were waiting to see if he would heal on the Sabbath day. They wanted to see him do something wrong so that they could accuse him. 8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to the man with the crippled hand, "Get up and stand here where everyone can see." The man got up and stood there. 9 Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is the right thing to do on the Sabbath day: to do good or to do evil? Is it right to save a life or to destroy one?" 10 Jesus looked around at all of them and then said to the man, "Hold out your hand." The man held out his hand, and it was healed.

The number of people on earth continued to increase. When these people had daughters, the sons of God saw how beautiful they were. So they chose the women they wanted. They married them, and the women had their children. Then the Lord said, "People are only human. I will not let my Spirit be troubled by them forever. I will let them live only 120 years."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Scribes and Pharisees watched him,....
:-
whether he would heal on the sabbath day: there being such an object before him:
that they might find an accusation against him; as they had before against his disciples.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 6:7. Watched him — Παρετηρουν αυτον, They maliciously watched him. This is the import of the word, Luke 14:1; Luke 20:20, and in the parallel place, Mark 3:2. See Raphelius on the last-quoted text, who has proved, by several quotations, that this is the proper meaning of the term.
An accusation against him. — Instead of κατηγοριαν αυτον, his accusation, several eminent MSS. and versions add κατα, against, which I find our translators have adopted.
