3. Ἔγειρε εἰς τὸ μέσον. Arise and come into the midst; condensed constr., as in Mar 10:10; Luk 11:7; Act 8:40. Whatever is done shall be manifest to all. He has no need of secret methods, and there is no need to spy upon Him. Victor of Antioch is hardly right in suggesting that Christ called the man into the midst in order to kindle sympathy in the hostile critics. See on Mar 3:12.
