Luke 6:6-11

International Standard Version

Jesus Heals a Man with a Paralyzed Hand^(A)

⁶ Once, on another Sabbath, Jesus^[a] went into a synagogue and began teaching. A man whose right hand was paralyzed was there. ⁷ The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Jesus^[b] closely to see^[c] whether he would heal on the Sabbath, in order to find a way of accusing him of doing something wrong. ⁸ But Jesus^[d] knew what they were thinking. So he told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Get up, and stand in the middle of the synagogue.”^[e] So he got up and stood there.

⁹ Then Jesus asked them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?”

¹⁰ He looked around at all of them and then told the man,^[f] “Hold out your hand.” The man^[g] did so, and his hand was restored to health. ¹¹ The others were furious^[h] and began to discuss with each other what they could do to Jesus.
