We prove a pointwise gradient estimate for positive Jacobi fields on minimal hypersurfaces of dimension two and three, inspired by the Cheng--Yau estimate for harmonic functions. The estimate also controls the second fundamental form, and so provides yet another proof of the stable Bernstein theorem in dimensions two and three.
