“And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. hardness: or, blindness”
Mark 3:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Mark 3:5
Jesus looked 'with anger' (περιβλεψάμενος αὐτοὺς μετ᾽ ὀργῆς)—righteous anger targeting hard hearts prioritizing rules over suffering. God's anger is holy response to sin. Jesus was 'grieved for the hardness of their hearts' (συλλυπούμενος). 'Hardness' (πώρωσις) means callousness, hearts hardened like stone. This combination—anger at sin, grief at effects—reflects God's character. Jesus commands: 'Stretch forth thine hand.' The man obeyed, 'his hand was restored whole.' Reformed theology: Christ's emotions reveal God's heart.
