Healing a Withered Hand

3:1 Then ⁹  Jesus ¹⁰  entered the synagogue ¹¹  again, and a man was there who had a withered ¹²  hand.

¹ tn Or “disregard,” “think little of.”

² tn Or “reproves,” “rebukes.” The Greek verb ἐλέγχω (elencw) implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.

³ tn Grk “do you not hear?”

⁴ sn The forty days may allude to the experience of Moses (Exod 34:28), Elijah (1 Kgs 19:8, 15), or David and Goliath (1 Sam 17:16).

⁵ tn Grk “And he.”

⁶ tn Grk “were serving him,” “were ministering to him.”

⁷ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁸ sn The kingdom of God is a reference to the sovereign activity of God as he rules over his creation and brings his plans to realization.

⁹ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

¹⁰ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹¹ sn See the note on synagogue in 1:21.

¹² sn Withered means the man’s hand was shrunken and paralyzed.
