Jesus looked around at everyone there, and you could see he was angry — but it was the kind of angry you get when people you care about are being stubborn and missing the point. His heart was actually breaking for them. Then he turned to the man and said, 'Go ahead, stretch out your hand.' The guy did it, and instantly his hand was completely healed, just like his other one.
