Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Luke 6:10

"And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did [so]: and his hand was restored." — Luke 6:10 (ASV)

Here Jesus commanded the impossible. Presumably the man exercised obedience born of faith, and Jesus healed the withered hand completely. The response is violent; the opposition to Jesus mounts in a crescendo of fury more intense than that after the previous miracle. So now, near the very start of Jesus’ ministry, a plot against him is beginning to form.
