13.65 · (ἀποκαθίστημι) · Be, Become, Exist, Happen · Change of State
to restore, to cause again to be, restoration to change to a previous good state A rendering of ἀποκαθίστημι in MRK 3:5 as was healed is justified on the basis that at a previous time the hand was crippled, but ἀποκαθίστημι in and of itself does not mean to be healed. Note, however, a contrasting situation in ἰάομαι[b] (13.66).

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀποκαθίστημι. For the meaning “" restore,” ‘‘ give back,” see P Petr III. 53 (2)13, where in connexion with certain arrears into which a priest had fallen provision is made πρᾶξαι τοὺς éyytous αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡμῖν ἀποκαταστῆσ[α]ι, ‘that payment be exacted from his sureties and restitution made to us” (Edd.). P Rein 1715 (8.6. 109) may be cited for its grammar, noteworthy at this early date: ὅπως ot αἴτιοι ἀναζητηθέντες ἐξαποσταλῶ[σ]. ἐπὶ τὸν στρατηγόν, [καὶ] ἐμοὶ μὲν διαπεφωνημένα ἀποκατασ[τα]θείη, οἱ δὲ αἴτιοι ἐξακολουθούντων. The passive ἀποκατασταθήσεται occurs in BGU IV. 106078 (B.c. 23-2). OGZ/S gol® (Rosetta stone—B.C. 196) ἀποκατέστησεν εἰς τὴν καθήκουσαν τάξιν. Syd 540%4 (B.c. 175-1) if a workman breaks a stone, ἕτερον ἀποκαταστήσει δόκιμον. P Revill Mél p. 295° (B.c. 131-0) (= Witkowski?, p. 96) μέχρι τοῦ τὰ πράγματ' ἀποκαταστῆναι, P Amh II. 4810 (b.c. 106) καὶ ἀποκαταστησάτω els olko[v] [π]ρὸς αὐτὴν τοῖς ἰδίοις, “shall deliver it to her at her house at his own expense” (Edd.). P Oxy I. 3813 (A.D. 49-50) (= Selecéions, p. 53) ὕφ᾽ od Kal ἀποκατεστάθη μοι ὁ vids, 16. II. 27817 (hire of a mill—a.D. 17) Kal μετὰ τὸν χρόνον ἀπίοκα]ταστησάτωι ὃ μάνης (the servant) τὸν μύλον ὑγιῆι καὶ ἀσινῆι, οἷον καὶ παρείληφεν, 26. VI. 929!" (ii/iii A.D.) ἀποκαταστῆσαί μοι εἰς ᾿Οξυρυγχείτην ἐξ ὧν ἔσχον τὰ προκείμενα πάντα, etc. In the long land survey τύχωσι τῶν ἀποκαλυπτω 63 P Tebt I. 61(6)24 (B.c. 118-7) the question is asked with regard to certain land, et [ajith [ἀνταναι]ρετέα [ἄλλη δὲ] ἀπὸ ὑπολόγου ἀνταναιρεθεῖσα ἀποκαταστατέα, ‘whether it should be deducted (from the cleruchic land) and other land subtracted from that in the unprofitable list should be substituted ” (Edd.): cf. a land survey of the second century, where a holding that had become καθ᾽ ὕδατος ἀποκατεστάθ(η) τῷ ἐνεστ[ῶτι] (ἔτει), was ‘‘ reclaimed” in the year in which the survey was written (P Oxy VI. 918 intr.). Note the passive in Vettius Valens, p. 6839 = ex captivitate redire (Ed.). For the double augment, which is found in the NT (Mt 1238, Mk 835. Lk 62°), cf. such an occasional occurrence in the inscriptions as Calder 8° ἀπεκατέστησεν, Letronne 5258 (ii/A.p.) ἀπεκατεστάθη, and similarly A7chzv il. p. 436, no. 31 (i/A.pD.); also P Tebt II. 413% (ii/iii A.D.) ἀπεκατέστησα. By the Byzantine period it had become very common. See further Winer-Schmiedel G7. p. 103, and Brugmann-Thumb Gy. p. 311. Note the perf. ἀποκαθέστακεν, Syil 3657 (i/A.D.).
