He looked around at them with anger
In this phrase, we see Jesus expressing a rare but significant emotion: anger. The Greek word used here is "ὀργή" (orgē), which denotes a righteous indignation. This is not a sinful anger but a holy response to the hardness of heart displayed by the Pharisees. Jesus' anger is directed towards the injustice and lack of compassion shown by the religious leaders, who prioritize legalism over mercy. This moment underscores the humanity of Jesus, who, while fully divine, experiences emotions deeply. It also serves as a reminder that anger, when aligned with God's righteousness, can be a catalyst for change and justice.

and deeply grieved
The phrase "deeply grieved" translates from the Greek "συλλυπέω" (syllypeō), indicating a profound sorrow. This grief is not just a passing sadness but a deep, heartfelt lament over the spiritual blindness and stubbornness of the Pharisees. Jesus' grief highlights His compassion and love for humanity, even for those who oppose Him. It reflects the heart of God, who desires that none should perish but that all should come to repentance. This dual expression of anger and grief reveals the depth of Jesus' care for the spiritual well-being of all people.

at their hardness of heart
The "hardness of heart" refers to the stubbornness and insensitivity of the Pharisees to the truth and love of God. The Greek term "πωρώσει" (pōrōsei) suggests a callousness or a spiritual insensitivity. This condition is often a result of persistent unbelief and resistance to God's work. In the biblical narrative, a hardened heart is a serious spiritual condition that prevents individuals from recognizing and responding to God's presence and action. Jesus' response to this hardness is both a warning and an invitation to open one's heart to the transformative power of God's love.

He said to the man
Here, Jesus turns His attention to the man with the withered hand. This shift in focus from the Pharisees to the individual in need demonstrates Jesus' personal care and concern for each person. It is a reminder that, despite the opposition and misunderstanding from others, Jesus is always attentive to those who seek Him. His words are not just commands but are filled with compassion and authority, offering healing and restoration.

“Stretch out your hand.”
The command "Stretch out your hand" is both a test of faith and an invitation to receive healing. The man is asked to do something that seems impossible due to his condition. Yet, in obedience to Jesus' word, he finds the strength to act. This act of faith is crucial in the biblical narrative, illustrating that faith often requires stepping out in trust, even when the outcome is uncertain. The command also signifies Jesus' authority over physical ailments and His power to restore what is broken.

And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored
The man's obedience results in a miraculous healing. The phrase "his hand was restored" signifies a complete and immediate healing, demonstrating Jesus' divine power. The Greek word "ἀποκαθίστημι" (apokathistēmi) means to restore to its original condition, indicating that the man's hand was made whole as if it had never been withered. This miracle serves as a testament to the transformative power of Jesus' ministry and His ability to bring wholeness to every aspect of human life. It also acts as a powerful witness to the Pharisees and all present, challenging them to reconsider their understanding of God's work and presence among them.

Verse 5. - When he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved συλλυπούμενος) - the word has a touch of "condolence" in it - at the hardening of their heart. All this is very characteristic of St. Mark, who is careful to notice the visible expression of our Lord's feelings in his looks. The account is evidently from an eye-witness, or from one who had it from an eye-witness. He looked round about on them with anger. He was indignant at their blindness of heart, and their unbelief, which led them to attack the miracles of mercy wrought by him on the sabbath day as though they were a violation of the law of the sabbath. We see here how plainly there were in Christ the passions and affections common to the human nature, only restrained and subordinated to reason. Hero is the difference between the anger of fallen man and the anger of the sinless One. With fallen man, auger is the desire of retaliating, of punishing those by whom you consider yourself unjustly treated. Hence, in other men, anger springs from self-love; in Christ it sprang from the love of God. He loved God above all things; hence he was distressed and irritated on account of the wrongs done to God by sins and sinners. So that his anger was a righteous zeal for the honour of God; and hence it was mingled with grief, because, in their blindness and obstinacy, they would not acknowledge him to be the Messiah, but misrepresented his kindnesses wrought on the sick on the sabbath day, and found fault with them as evil. Thus our Lord, by showing grief and sorrow, makes it plain that his anger did not spring from the desire of revenge. He was indeed angry at the sin, while he grieved over and with the sinners, as those whom he loved, and for whose sake he came into the world that he might redeem and save them. Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored. The words "whole as the other" (הללאְ ץה שׁץו שׁםהגִץֻ) are not found in the best uncials. They were probably inserted from St. Matthew. In this instance our Lord performed no outward act. "He spake, and it was done." The Divine power wrought the miracle concurrently with the act of faith on the part of the man in obeying the command.
