“And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.”
King James Version (KJV)
3:1 He entered again into the synagogue - At Capernaum on the same day. #Mt 12:9|; Lu 6:6.
3:2 And they - The scribes and Pharisees, watched him, that they might accuse him - Pride, anger, and shame, after being so often put to silence, began now to ripen into malice.
3:4 Is it lawful to save life or to kill? - Which he knew they were seeking occasion to do. But they held their peace - Being confounded, though not convinced.
3:5 Looking round upon them with anger, being grieved - Angry at the sin, grieved at the sinner; the true standard of Christian anger. But who can separate anger at sin from anger at the sinner? None but a true believer in Christ.
Mr 3:3 Stand forth. He read their thoughts and determined to give prominence to the good work. He would heal him on the Sabbath, heal him in the synagogue, heal him before all.
And he saith vnto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
