Throughout the Gospels, Jesus demonstrates His ability to perceive the thoughts and intentions of others (e.g., <a href="/matthew/9-4.htm">Matthew 9:4</a>, <a href="/john/2-24.htm">John 2:24-25</a>). This ability underscores His authority and insight, which are consistent with Old Testament depictions of God knowing the hearts of men (<a href="/1_samuel/16-7.htm">1 Samuel 16:7</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/17-10.htm">Jeremiah 17:10</a>).and said to the man with the withered hand The man with the withered hand represents those marginalized and suffering in society. In the cultural context of first-century Judea, physical deformities often led to social and religious exclusion. By addressing this man, Jesus challenges societal norms and demonstrates His compassion and willingness to restore and heal. This act is a fulfillment of messianic prophecies that speak of healing and restoration (<a href="/isaiah/35-5.htm">Isaiah 35:5-6</a>).“Get up and stand among us.” Jesus' command for the man to stand among them is significant. It is a public act, drawing attention to the miracle He is about to perform. This setting emphasizes the confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees, who were watching to accuse Him of breaking the Sabbath (<a href="/luke/6-7.htm">Luke 6:7</a>). The act of standing among them symbolizes the man's reintegration into the community and foreshadows the inclusive nature of the Kingdom of God, where the marginalized are brought to the center.So he got up and stood there. The man's obedience to Jesus' command demonstrates faith and trust in Jesus' authority. His action is a precursor to the healing that follows, illustrating the principle that faith often precedes divine intervention. This moment also serves as a testament to Jesus' power to transform lives, aligning with the broader biblical narrative of redemption and restoration. The man's response can be seen as a type of the believer's response to Christ's call, illustrating the transformative power of faith and obedience.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure in this passage, demonstrating His divine knowledge and authority.

And he arose and stood forth. When he perceived or was informed of the presence of the afflicted sufferer in the synagogue, who no doubt had come there with a view of seeing Jesus and asking his help as a physician, Jesus publicly bade the sufferer to stand out in a prominent place in the assembly, and then in the hush that followed proceeded with his public instruction, the poor man with the withered hand standing before him. The Gospel which Jerome found among the Nazarenes gives at length the prayer of this man with the withered hand. "I was a mason earning my livelihood with my own hands; I pray thee, Jesus, restore me to health, in order that I may not with shame beg my bread." This Nazarene Gospel was only used among a sect of early Jewish Christians, and has not been preserved. It possibly was one of those alluded to by the compiler of the Third Gospel in his preface (<a href="/luke/1-1.htm">Luke 1:1</a>). <a href="/commentaries/luke/6-8.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>But δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. [Jesus] Αὐτὸς (Autos) Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Nominative Masculine 3rd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_846.htm">Strong's 846: </a> He, she, it, they, them, same.
