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

Luke Chapter 6 7 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
7. watched whether, &c.--In Matthew
(Mt 12:9)

12, 13. went out--probably from Capernaum.
all night in prayer . . . and when . . . day, he called, &c.--The work with which the next day began shows what had been the burden of this night's devotions. As He directed His disciples to pray for "laborers" just before sending themselves forth (see on
Mt 9:37;
Mt 10:1),
so here we find the Lord Himself in prolonged communion with His Father in preparation for the solemn appointment of those men who were to give birth to His Church, and from whom the world in all time was to take a new mould. How instructive is this!
