Where the printed editions differ

3 variants

Places in this verse where the major printed Greek editions disagree on the wording in a way that affects the translation — a comparison of editions, not a manuscript-by-manuscript collation. The editions are the modern critical texts (Nestlé-Aland 28/27, SBL, Westcott-Hort, Tregelles, Tyndale House) and the traditional texts behind the KJV (the Textus Receptus and the Byzantine/Majority text). It is not a claim about which reading is original.

Commentary

Notes on Luke 6:10 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Expositor's Greek Testament

ed. W. Robertson Nicoll

Luk 6:10 . περιβλεψάμενος . Lk. borrows this word from Mk., but omits all reference to the emotions he ascribes to Jesus: anger mixed with pity. He looks round merely waiting for an answer to His pointed question. None being forthcoming, He proceeds to heal: “qui tacet, consentit,” Bornemann.

Adam Clarke's Commentary

Verse 10. Whole as the other.] Many MSS., both here and in the parallel place, Mr 3:5, omit the word υγιης, whole. Griesbach leaves it out of the text. The hand was restored as the other. But had it only been a luxated joint, even allowing, with a German critic, that the bone regained its place by the effort made to stretch out the arm, without the intervention of a miracle, it would have required several weeks to restore the muscles and ligaments to their wonted tone and strength. Why all this learned labour to leave God out of the question?

John Gill's Exposition

And they were filed with madness,.... Both at the cure, and because they could not answer him; nor properly fix a charge upon him, or accuse him before the people, without bringing their resentments on them:

and communed one with another what they might do with Jesus: this they did after they came out of the synagogue, and when with the Herodians, as in See Gill on Mar 3:6.

The Pulpit Commentary

Stretch forth thy hand! It must have sounded a strange command to the people in the synagogue. How could he stretch out that withered, powerless limb? But with the command went forth the power. In other words, "Stretch forth that poor hand of thine; thou canst now, for, lo! the disease is gone." And we read that he did so, and as he stretched out the limb, so long powerless, the man discovered and the people saw that the cure was already performed.

Cambridge Greek Testament for Schools and Colleges

10. περιβλεψάμενος πάντας αὐτούς. St Mark adds ‘with anger, being grieved at the callousness (πώρωσιν, Rom 11:25) of their hearts.’ περιβλέψας would have been used here by a classic writer.

ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρά σου. Compare 1Ki 13:4.

ἀπεκατεστάθη. The form also occurs in Mat 12:13; Mar 3:5. Holzmann (Schenkel, Bibel-Lex. s.v. Evangelien) inferred that all three Synoptists were using a common written document; but this 1st aor. pass. occurs in the LXX[133] (Jer 23:8, &c.), and apparently also in Callimachus.

Alford’s Greek Testament

Henry Alford

10.] Mark adds μετʼ ὀργῆς συλλυπούμενος ἐπὶ τῇ πωρώσει τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν—one of the most striking and graphic descriptions in the Gospels.

It was thus that He bare (see Mat 8:17), even while on earth, our sins and infirmities. Their hearts were hardened,—but He grieved for it.

International Critical Commentary

10. περιβλεψάμενος πάντας αὐτούς. Mk. adds, still more graphically, μετʼ ὀργῆς, συλλυπούμενος ἐπὶ τῇ πωρώσει τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν: but πάντας is peculiar to Lk. See on 7:35 and 9:43. Mt. omits the whole of this, but inserts the case of the sheep fallen into a pit. Lk. has a similar question about a son or ox fallen into a well, which was asked on another occasion (14:5).

Ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρά σου. As His challenge to His enemies remained unanswered, He now makes trial of the man. The attempt to obey this command was evidence of his faith.

With the double augment in ἀπεκατεστάθη comp. ἐπροέταξα, ἐροεφήτευον, ἐκατεσκεύασαν, ἐσυνεμαρτύρουν, ἠφώρισται, which occur in vinous writers. Exo 4:7, ἀπεκατέστη; Jer 23:8, ἀπεκατέστησεν Ign. Smyr. xi., ἀπεκατεστάθη. Win. 12:7. a, p. 84.

D Cod. here inserts ver. 5.

Luke, in the Gospels, opens this verse with 18 words (12 distinct Greek lemmas). Its most distinctive word is periblépō (“to look around”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word periblépō carries the sense “to look around.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. Mark 3:5 shares the word «to look around» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. “hand” occurs 2× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  4. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  5. Reading how Expositor's Greek Testament and Adam Clarke's Commentary read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
