Moving on from there
This phrase indicates a transition in Jesus' ministry, suggesting a deliberate movement from one place to another. The Greek word used here, "μεταβάς" (metabas), implies a purposeful change of location. In the context of Jesus' ministry, this movement is not random but is guided by divine purpose. Historically, Jesus' movements were often strategic, allowing Him to reach different audiences and fulfill His mission. This phrase reminds us of the intentionality in Jesus' actions and encourages believers to seek divine guidance in their own life's journey.

He entered their synagogue
The synagogue was a central place of worship and community gathering for the Jewish people. The Greek word "συναγωγή" (synagōgē) refers to an assembly or congregation. By entering the synagogue, Jesus places Himself in the heart of Jewish religious life, where teaching and interpretation of the Law occurred. This setting is significant because it highlights Jesus' role as a teacher and His engagement with the religious leaders of His time. It also underscores the importance of communal worship and the study of Scripture in the life of faith.

and a man with a withered hand was there
The presence of the man with a withered hand sets the stage for a miraculous healing and a profound teaching moment. The Greek word "ξηρανθείς" (xēranthēis) describes the condition of the man's hand as being dried up or paralyzed. This physical ailment symbolizes spiritual and societal brokenness, which Jesus came to heal. In the historical context, physical disabilities often led to social marginalization. Jesus' attention to this man demonstrates His compassion and His mission to restore both physical and spiritual wholeness.

(9) He went into their synagogue--i.e., that of the Pharisees whom He had just reproved, probably, therefore, the synagogue of Capernaum. The narratives in St. Matthew and St. Mark convey the impression that it was on the same Sabbath. St. Luke, however, as if he had made more careful inquiry, states definitely that it was on another, and this the others do not directly contradict.

Verses 9-14. - The healing of the man with the withered hand. Parallel passages: Mark 3:1-6; Luke 6:6-11. In vers. 10, 11 there are reminiscences of a narrative, presumably belonging to the Framework, which is essentially preserved in Luke 14:2-5 (cf. Weiss). In this section the opposition of the Pharisees is turned directly against our Lord himself for breaking the sabbath. Observe, however, that he did not do this for his own benefit. It was his kindness to another that brought about the determination to kill him. Verse 9. - And when he was departed thence (καὶ μεταβὰς ἐκεῖθεν). The phrase implies more than removal from that place in the corn-fields where he had been accused by the Pharisees, and is to be understood of removal from one town to another, the words that originally preceded this narrative not being recorded (cf. infra, and Matthew 11:1, note). When. therefore, it took place we have absolutely no means of knowing, save that it was not on the same day as the event recorded in vers. 1-8 (cf. Luke, "on another sabbath"), and that it was later on in his ministry. He went into their synagogue. Whose? Hardly the Pharisees mentioned in ver. 2, as this was a different occasion. Possibly the Galilaeans, among whom he then was (cf. Matthew 4:23; Matthew 9:35), or probably the Jews generally (cf. Matthew 11:1, note). In the two last cases the subject of "they asked," in ver. 10, would be the same as that of "they watched." in Mark (Mark 3:2), namely, the frequenters of the synagogue. among whom the Pharisees naturally took a prominent place. But it is quite possible that we have here a trace of the use of a fresh source, the αὐτῶν being quite intelligible in its original context.
