SCRIPTURE

"And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue:" — Matthew 12:9 (ASV)

He went into their synagogue — that is, the synagogue of the Pharisees whom He had just reproved; it was probably, therefore, the synagogue of Capernaum. The narratives in St. Matthew and St. Mark convey the impression that it was on the same Sabbath. St. Luke, however, as if he had made more careful inquiry, states definitely that it was on another Sabbath, and this the other accounts do not directly contradict.
