Luke 6:10

Arabic Bible AVDDV 1999 (الكتاب المقدس (تخفيف تشكيل))

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ حَوْلهُ إلَى جميعِهِمْ وقالَ للرَّجُلِ: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ». ففَعَلَ هكذا. فعادَتْ يَدُهُ صَحيحَةً كالأُخرَى.

What Does This Mean?

In this verse from Luke's Gospel, Jesus looks at the people around him and tells a man with a crippled hand to stretch it out. The man does as told, and his hand is healed completely. This shows Jesus' power over sickness and His compassion for those in need.

Explained for Children

Imagine if your arm was broken and you couldn't play or eat properly. That's what this man felt like with his hand. Then a kind doctor comes along, looks at everyone around him, and tells the man to stretch out his arm. He did it, and suddenly, his arm worked perfectly again! This story shows how Jesus can help us when we're sick or hurt.

Historical Background

This verse is from the Gospel of Luke, written by Luke, a physician and companion of Paul. It was likely composed around AD 80 for both Jewish and Gentile Christians. In this context, healing miracles were a significant way Jesus demonstrated His divine authority and compassion in a time when medical knowledge was limited.

Living It Out Today

In modern times, if someone is struggling with illness or disability, we can apply the message of Luke 6:10 by showing empathy and seeking ways to help them. Just as Jesus healed this man's hand, we too can work towards healing in various forms – emotional support, physical aid, or even advocating for better care.
