The Greek word for "said" is "λέγει" (legei), which is in the present tense, indicating a continuous or repeated action. This suggests that Jesus' words are not just historical but have ongoing relevance. In the context of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus' words often carry authority and power, reflecting His divine nature and mission. His speech acts are transformative, bringing about healing, teaching, and revelation.<p><b>to the man with the withered hand</b><br />The "man with the withered hand" is central to this miracle story. The Greek term for "withered" is "ξηρανθείς" (xerantheis), which implies a condition of being dried up or paralyzed. This man's ailment symbolizes human frailty and the effects of sin and brokenness in the world. In the Jewish context, physical deformities often led to social and religious marginalization. By addressing this man, Jesus demonstrates His compassion and willingness to restore those who are marginalized and suffering.<p><b>Stand up</b><br />The command "Stand up" is translated from the Greek word "Ἔγειρε" (Egeire), which means to rise or awaken. This imperative is not just a physical instruction but a call to action and faith. In the biblical narrative, standing often signifies readiness, dignity, and a new beginning. Jesus' command challenges the man to respond in faith, trusting in Jesus' power to heal and restore. It is a call to move from a position of weakness to one of strength and wholeness.<p><b>among us</b><br />The phrase "among us" highlights the communal aspect of Jesus' ministry. The Greek word "μέσον" (meson) means in the midst or center. By instructing the man to stand among the people, Jesus is making a public demonstration of His power and authority. This act serves as a witness to the onlookers, challenging their understanding of the Sabbath and the nature of God's kingdom. It underscores the idea that Jesus' miracles are not just personal but have broader implications for the community and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/mark/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 3, 4.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Stand forth</span>. The words in the original are <span class="greek">Ἔγειραι εἰς τὸ μέσον</span> <span class="accented">Rise into the midst.</span> In St. Matthew's account (<a href="/matthew/12-10.htm">Matthew 12:10</a>), the scribes and Pharisees here ask our Lord, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?" The two accounts are easily reconciled if we first suppose the scribes and Pharisees to ask this question of our Lord, and then our Lord to answer them by putting their own question to them in another form. <span class="cmt_word">Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to kill?</span> Our Lord's meaning appears to be this: "If any one, baying it in his power, omits to do an act of mercy on the sabbath day-for one grievously afflicted, as this man is, if he is able to cure him, as I Christ am able, he does him a wrong; for he denies him that help which he owes him by the law of charity." Our Lord thus plainly signifies that not to do an act of kindness to a sick man on the sabbath day when you are able to do it, is really to do him a wrong. But it is never lawful to do a wrong; and therefore it is always lawful to do good, not excepting even the sabbath day, for that is dedicated to God and to good works. Whence it is a greater sin to do a wrong on the sabbath than on other days; for thus the sanctity of the sabbath is violated, just as it is all the more honoured and sanctified by doing good. In our Lord's judgment, then, to neglect to save, when you have it in your power to do so, is to destroy. <span class="cmt_word">They held their peace</span>. They could not answer him. They are obstinate indeed in their infidelity, who, when they can say nothing against the truth, refuse to say anything for it. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/mark/3-3.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Then</span><br /><span class="grk">Καὶ</span> <span class="translit">(Kai)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> </span><span class="str2">And, even, also, namely. </span><br /><br /><span class="word">[Jesus] said</span><br /><span class="grk">λέγει</span> <span class="translit">(legei)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3004.htm">Strong's 3004: </a> </span><span class="str2">(a) I say, speak; I mean, mention, tell, (b) I call, name, especially in the pass., (c) I tell, command. </span><br /><br /><span class="word">to the</span><br /><span class="grk">τῷ</span> <span class="translit">(tō)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article - Dative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> </span><span class="str2">The, the definite article.
