1 Kings 13:6

13:6 The king pled with ¹  the prophet, ²  “Seek the favor of ³  the Lord your God and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored.” So the prophet sought the Lord’s favor ⁴  and the king’s hand was restored to its former condition. ⁵ 

Matthew 12:13

12:13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and it was restored, ⁶  as healthy as the other.

Luke 6:10

6:10 After ⁷  looking around ⁸  at them all, he said to the man, ⁹  “Stretch out your hand.” The man ¹⁰  did so, and his hand was restored. ¹¹ 

Luke 17:14

17:14 When ¹²  he saw them he said, “Go ¹³  and show yourselves to the priests.” ¹⁴  And ¹⁵  as they went along, they were cleansed.

John 5:8-9

5:8 Jesus said to him, “Stand up! Pick up your mat ¹⁶  and walk.” 5:9 Immediately the man was healed, ¹⁷  and he picked up his mat ¹⁸  and started walking. (Now that day was a Sabbath.) ¹⁹ 

John 9:7

9:7 and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” ²⁰  (which is translated “sent”). ²¹  So the blind man ²²  went away and washed, and came back seeing.

Hebrews 5:9

5:9 And by being perfected in this way, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

¹ tn Heb “The king answered and said to.”

² tn Heb “the man of God” (a second time later in this verse, and once in v. 7 and v. 8).

³ tn Heb “appease the face of.”

⁴ tn Heb “appeased the face of the Lord.”

⁵ tn Heb “and it was as in the beginning.”

⁶ sn The passive was restored points to healing by God. Now the question became: Would God exercise his power through Jesus, if what Jesus was doing were wrong? Note also Jesus’ “labor.” He simply spoke and it was so.

¹¹ tn Grk “And after.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

¹² tn The aorist participle περιβλεψάμενος (peribleyameno") has been translated as antecedent (prior) to the action of the main verb. It could also be translated as contemporaneous (“Looking around… he said”).

¹³ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the man with the withered hand) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

¹⁵ sn The passive was restored points to healing by God. Now the question became: Would God exercise his power through Jesus, if what Jesus was doing were wrong? Note also Jesus’ “labor.” He simply spoke and it was so.

¹⁶ tn Καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

¹⁷ tn The participle πορευθέντες (poreuqente") is a good example of an adverbial participle of attendant circumstance. As such, it picks up the force of an imperative from the verb to which it is related (ExSyn 640-45).

¹⁸ sn These are the instructions of what to do with a healing (Lev 13:19; 14:1-11; Luke 5:14).

¹⁹ tn Grk “And it happened that as.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

²¹ tn Or “pallet,” “mattress,” “cot,” or “stretcher.” Some of these items, however, are rather substantial (e.g., “mattress”) and would probably give the modern English reader a false impression.

²⁶ tn Grk “became well.”

²⁷ tn Or “pallet,” “mattress,” “cot,” or “stretcher.” See the note on “mat” in the previous verse.

²⁸ tn Grk “Now it was Sabbath on that day.”

³¹ tn The pool’s name in Hebrew is shiloah from the Hebrew verb “to send.” In Gen 49:10 the somewhat obscure shiloh was interpreted messianically by later Jewish tradition, and some have seen a lexical connection between the two names (although this is somewhat dubious). It is known, however, that it was from the pool of Siloam that the water which was poured out at the altar during the feast of Tabernacles was drawn.

³² sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. Why does he comment on the meaning of the name of the pool? Here, the significance is that the Father sent the Son, and the Son sent the man born blind. The name of the pool is applicable to the man, but also to Jesus himself, who was sent from heaven.

³³ tn Grk “So he”; the referent (the blind man) is specified in the translation for clarity.
