Context of Matthew 12:13

11And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath days. Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out; and it was restored as whole, as the other. 14Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. 15But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from there: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

Commentaries on Matthew 12:13

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13Stretch forth thine hand - The bare command of God is a sufficient reason of obedience. This man might have reasoned thus: "Lord, my hand is withered; how then can I stretch it out? Make it whole first, and afterwards I will do as thou commandest." This may appear reasonable, but in his case it would have been foolishness. At the command of the Lord he made the effort, and in making it the cure was effected! Faith disregards apparent impossibilities…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9-13Verses 9-13 The account contained in these verses is recorded also in Mark 3:1-5, and Luke 6:6-10. Matthew 12:10 The very hairs of your head are all numbered - That is, each one has exercised the care and attention of God.

Matthew 12:12 How much, then, is a man better than a…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 9-13Verses 9-13 Christ shows that works of mercy are lawful and proper to be done on the Lord's day. There are more ways of doing well upon sabbath days, than by the duties of worship: attending the sick, relieving the poor, helping those who need speedy relief, teaching the young to care for their souls; these are doing good: and these must be done from love and charity, with humility and self-denial, and shall be accepted, Ge 4:7. This, like other cures…Read the comment

And he stretched it forth--the power to obey going forth with the word of command. and it was restored whole, like as the other--The poor man, having faith in this wonderful Healer--which no doubt the whole scene would singularly help to strengthen--disregarded the proud and venomous Pharisees, and thus gloriously put them to shame.Read the comment
