the right hand. This particular peculiar to Lk., with the Hebrew style, proves, some think (Godet, Hahn), a source dis- tinct from Mt. or Mk. Not necessarily. It may be an inference by Lk., added to magnify the beneficence of the miracle. The right hand the working hand, the privation great, the cure the more valuable-—Ver. 7. παρετηροῦντο, they kept watching, in a sly, furtive manner, ex obliquo et occulto, Bengel on Mk.—et θεραπεύει, whether He is going to heal, if that is to be the way of it.—Ver. 8. ἤδει: a participle might have been ex- pected here = He knowing their thoughts said, etc.—éyerpe καὶ στῆθι, etc.: this command was necessary to bring the matter under the notice of the audience present, who as yet knew nothing of the thoughts of the Pharisees, and possibly were not aware that the man_ with the withered hand was present.—Ver. 9. ἀγαθοποιῆσαι, κακοποιῆσαι: on the meaning of these words and the
issue raised vide on Mk.—Ver. το. περιβλεψάμµενος. Lk. borrows this word from Mk., but omits all reference to the emotions he ascribes to Jesus: anger mixed with pity. He looks round merely waiting for an answer to His pointed question. None being forthcoming, He proceeds to heal: “qui tacet, con- sentit,’”” Bornemann.—Ver. 11. dvolas: they were filled with senseless anger. They were ‘‘ mad” at Jesus, because He had broken the Sabbath, as they con- ceived it, in a way that would make Him popular: humanity and _preternatural power combined.—rt ἂν ποιήσαιεν: ἂν with the optative in an indirect question, in Lk. only, following classic usage. This combination of occasional classicism with frequent Hebraism is curious. It is noticeable that Lk. does not impute murderous intentions to the opponente of Jesus at this stage, nor combination with politicians to effect truculent designs. (vide Mk. iii. 6).
