Commentary on Mark 3:2
The religious leaders 'watched him'—imperfect tense indicating continuous, intense observation suggesting hostile scrutiny. They monitored Jesus to see 'whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.' Their purpose was accusation—formal legal charge, revealing hearts opposed to Jesus despite witnessing His power. They prioritized tradition over mercy. Their question wasn't whether Jesus could heal but whether He would violate Sabbath regulations. Reformed theology warns that unconverted religious people can be gospel's fiercest opponents.
