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 And he entered into the synagogue again, and a man who had a withered hand was there.

2 And they were watching him closely [to see] if he would heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they could accuse him.

3 And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come into the middle."

4 And he said to them, "Is it permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent.

5 And looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched [it] out, and his hand was restored.
