Scripture does not give his name. Healed on the Sabbath — in front of everyone watching.
The Man with the Withered Hand
Healed on the Sabbath
Scripture gives no name
In Mark’s Gospel
He was in the synagogue on the Sabbath when Jesus entered
Mark 3:1
The Pharisees watched him closely — "whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him"
Mark 3:2
Jesus said to the man, "Step forward" — into the center, before them all
Mark 3:3
Then to the watchers: "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" — But they were silent
Mark 3:4
Who they were
- Courageous — he stepped into the center when called (Mark 3:3)
- Obedient — "stretch out your hand" — the impossible command, obeyed (Mark 3:5)
