(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

He laid his hands upon her (epethēken autēi tas cheiras). First aorist active indicative of epitithēmi. As the Great Physician with gentle kindness.

She was made straight (anōrthōthē). First aorist (effective) passive indicative of anorthoō, old verb, but only three times in the N.T. (Luk 13:13; Heb 12:12; Act 15:16), to make straight again. Here it has the literal sense of making straight the old woman’s crooked back.

She glorified God (edoxazen ton theon). Imperfect active. Began it (inchoative) and kept it up.
