12:13a–b

Stretch out your hand: With this clause, Jesus commanded the man to extend his arm so that his hand was out in front of him.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Extend your hand
-or-
Reach out your hand
-or-
Hold out your hand (Contemporary English Version)

12:13c

restored: This word means “brought back to the original good condition.” The man’s hand became completely healthy again.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

healed/cured
-or-
well again (New Century Version)
-or-
normal again (God’s Word)

just like the other: The Greek has a word before this phrase that the Berean Standard Bible leaves untranslated because its meaning is similar to “restored.” Some other English translations translate the word, which means “well” or “healthy.” For example:

healthy like the other (English Standard Version)
