Context
Lord of the Sabbath
6:1 Jesus was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath , and his disciples picked some heads of wheat , rubbed them in their hands , and ate them.
6:2 But some of the Pharisees said , “Why are you doing what is against the law on the Sabbath ?”
6:3 Jesus answered them , “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry –
6:4 how he entered the house of God , took and ate the sacred bread , which is not lawful for any to eat but the priests alone , and gave it to his companions ?”
6:5 Then he said to them , “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath .”
Healing a Withered Hand
6:6 On another Sabbath , Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching . Now a man was there whose right hand was withered .
6:7 The experts in the law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath , so that they could find a reason to accuse him .
6:8 But he knew their thoughts , and said to the man who had the withered hand , “Get up and stand here .” So he rose and stood there.
6:9 Then Jesus said to them , “I ask you , is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil , to save a life or to destroy it?”
6:10 After looking around at them all , he said to the man , “Stretch out your hand .” The man did so , and his hand was restored .
