3:3
Jesus took the Pharisees (let’s just assume the “some” are Pharisees for the sake of brevity) head on. There was no attempt at compromise. Today our church leaders are all too ready to seek to avoid controversy, and sometimes even to capitulate completely to the world. So Jesus calls the man to stand up in front of everyone.
3:4
Jesus then confronted the Pharisees. They may have thought that Jesus was “on trial”, in truth they were the ones on trial. Jesus asks them a question, is it lawful to do good or evil on the Sabbath, to save life or to kill? The Pharisees were unable to answer, for the answer was obvious.
