Mark 3:2 meaning and explanation
In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
Mark 3:2, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The setting is a synagogue, and the watchers are likely Pharisees and others allied with them, already stung by Jesus' Sabbath controversies in chapter 2. They are not curious observers but prosecutors gathering evidence, since healing a withered hand could be framed as work.
