Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Luke 6:11

"But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus." — Luke 6:11 (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.
