Exegesis

The Greek articular infinitive en tō tēn kheira sou ekteinein se eis iasin {ἐν τῷ τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐκτείνειν σε εἰς ἴασιν} functions adverbially to express the circumstance and purpose of God’s action. It is rendered as “While You stretch out Your hand to bring healing” in the formal and “As You extend Your hand to heal” in the dynamic to preserve the ongoing and purposive nuance.

In contextActs 4:30

While You stretch out Your hand to bring healing, may signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus .
