This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But he knew their thoughts (autos de ēidei tous dialogismous autōn). In Luke alone. Imperfect in sense, second past perfect in form ēidei from oida. Jesus, in contrast to these spies (Plummer), read their intellectual processes like an open book.
His hand withered (xēran tēn cheira). Predicate position of the adjective. So in Mar 3:3.
Stand forth (stēthi). Luke alone has this verb, second aorist active imperative. Mar 3:3 has Arise into the midst (egeire eis to meson). Luke has Arise and step forth into the midst (egeire kai stēthi eis to meson). Christ worked right out in the open where all could see. It was a moment of excitement when the man stepped forth (estē) there before them all.
