Then he said to the man,
Stretch forth your hand.
And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like the other.
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:13 Go To Matthew 12
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Observe how He shows many reasons for this breaking of the sabbath. But forasmuch as the man was incurably sick, He proceeds straightway to the work, as it follows, “Then saith he to the man, Reach forth thy hand: and he reach edit forth, and it was restored whole as the other.”
