And when he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said unto the man,
Stretch forth your hand.
And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
All Commentaries on Mark 3:5 Go To Mark 3
Jerome
AD 420

And they are commanded to stretch forth their hands, that is, “let him that stole steal no more, but rather let him labour, working with his hand the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him thatneedeth.”
