Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
But he knew their thoughts (autov de hdei touv dialogismouv autwn). In Luke alone. Imperfect in sense, second past perfect in form hdei from oida. Jesus, in contrast to these spies (Plummer), read their intellectual processes like an open book.
His hand withered (chran thn xeira). Predicate position of the adjective. So in Mark 3:3.
Stand forth (sthqi). Luke alone has this verb, second aorist active imperative. Mark 3:3 has
Arise into the midst (egeire eiv to meson). Luke has
Arise and step forth into the midst (egeire kai sthqi eiv to meson). Christ worked right out in the open where all could see. It was a moment of excitement when the man stepped forth (esth) there before them all.
