Mark 3:1 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:1

And he entered again into the synagogue
Perhaps in Capernaum, where he had before cast out the unclean spirit; but not on the same day, nor on that day he had had the debate with the Pharisees, about his disciples plucking the ears of corn on the sabbath day; but on another sabbath, perhaps the next; see ( Luke 6:6 ) .

And there was a man there which had a withered hand;
who came there either for a cure, knowing Christ to be in the synagogue, or for the sake of worship; (See Gill on Matthew 12:10).

Mark 3:1 In-Context

1 At another time, when He went to the synagogue, there was a man there with one arm shrivelled up.

2 They closely watched Him to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath--so as to have a charge to bring against Him.

3 "Come forward," said He to the man with the shrivelled arm.

4 Then He asked them, "Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?" They remained silent.

5 Grieved and indignant at the hardening of their hearts, He looked round on them with anger, and said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He stretched it out, and the arm was completely restored.
