What does Luke 6:5 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

5. Lord also--rather "even" (as in Mt 12:8). of the sabbath--as naked a claim to all the authority of Him who gave the law at Mount Sinai as could possibly be made; that is, "I have said enough to vindicate the men ye carp at on My account: but in this place is the Lord of the law, and they have His sanction." (See Mr 2:28.)

Lu 6:6-11. Withered Hand Healed.

(See on Mt 12:9-15 and Mr 3:1-7.)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Luke 6:1-5

Christ justifies his disciples in a work of necessity for themselves on the sabbath day, and that was plucking the ears of corn when they were hungry. But we must take heed that we mistake not this liberty for leave to commit sin. Christ will have us to know and remember that it is his day, therefore to be spent in his service, and to his honour.
