Marcos 3:3

3 Entonces Jesús le dijo al hombre de la mano paralizada:—Ponte de pie frente a todos.

Marcos 3:3 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:3

And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand
After he had reasoned with them from the lesser to the greater, upon their own principles and practices, in relieving and taking out a sheep fallen into a ditch, on a sabbath day, ( Matthew 12:10 Matthew 12:11 ) , and knowing "their thoughts", as Luke says, ( Luke 6:8 ) , their reasonings and designs; and as the Persic version here, from thence "understanding their conspiracy", turns himself to the lame man, and bids him

stand forth:
or, as in Luke, "rise up and stand forth in the midst", ( Luke 6:8 ) . He bid him rise up from his seat, and stand forth in the midst of the synagogue: this he said, partly to raise the attention of the people to the following miracle; and partly to move commiseration upon the sight of the object; and to aggravate the hard heartedness of the Pharisees; as also, that it might be manifest to all, that the man's hand was really withered; and that there was no fraud in the following cure.

Marcos 3:3 In-Context

1 En otra ocasión entró en la sinagoga, y había allí un hombre que tenía la mano paralizada.

2 Algunos que buscaban un motivo para acusar a Jesús no le quitaban la vista de encima para ver si sanaba al enfermo en sábado.

3 Entonces Jesús le dijo al hombre de la mano paralizada:—Ponte de pie frente a todos.

4 Luego dijo a los otros:—¿Qué está permitido en sábado: hacer el bien o hacer el mal, salvar una vida o matar?Pero ellos permanecieron callados.

5 Jesús se les quedó mirando, enojado y entristecido por la dureza de su corazón, y le dijo al hombre:—Extiende la mano.La extendió, y la mano le quedó restablecida.
