‏ Mark 3:1

 Had his hand withered ( εξηραμμενην εχων την χειρα ). He had his ( the in the Greek, common idiom with article as possessive) hand (right hand, Lu 6:6) in a withered state, perfect passive participle (adjective  ξηραν in Matthew and Luke), showing that it was not congenital, but the result of injury by accident or disease. Bengel: Non ex utero, sed morbo aut vulnere.
