Healing on the Sabbath^(A)

^6 (B)Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered. ⁷ So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would ^(C)heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an ^(D)accusation against Him.

¹⁰ And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, ^(A)“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.

⁸ But He ^(A)knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood.

⁴ Then He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they kept silent.

¹¹ Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? ¹² Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

⁵ And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the ^(A)hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored ^[a]as whole as the other.

¹¹ But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

^6 (A)Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with ^(B)the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.
