Luke 6:6-11

Modern English Version

The Man With a Withered Hand^(A)

⁶ On another Sabbath, when He entered the synagogue and taught, there was a man whose right hand had withered. ⁷ The scribes and the Pharisees watched Him to see whether He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against Him. ⁸ But He knew their thoughts, and He said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise and stand in front.” So he rose and stood in front.

⁹ Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

¹⁰ Then looking around at them all, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. ¹¹ But they were filled with madness and discussed with each other what they might do to Jesus.
