Mark 3:1-7

1 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up.
2 And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

4 And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.
5 And looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out, and his hand was restored.

Footnotes 2

  • [a]. The Greek word is found here only. It is questioned whether it means 'sympathizing grief' (as LXX, Ps. 69.20;) or 'deep grief.' There is, I apprehend, sorrow for, with an intensive force in it; not sympathy, which is feeling with, but feeling what a state they were in, with grief for it.
  • [b]. The word is used also for a council, Acts 25.12. It may be more in this sense here, but a private one.
