Mark 3:4-10

English Standard Version

⁴ And he said to them, ^(A)“Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. ⁵ And he ^(B)looked around at them with anger, grieved at ^(C)their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” ^(D)He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. ^6 (E)The Pharisees went out and immediately ^(F)held counsel with ^(G)the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

A Great Crowd Follows Jesus

^7 (H)Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and ^(I)a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea ⁸ and Jerusalem and ^(J)Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around ^(K)Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him. ⁹ And he told his disciples to ^(L)have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they ^(M)crush him, ¹⁰ for ^(N)he had healed many, so that all who had ^(O)diseases pressed around him ^(P)to touch him.
