Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

3 ^(A)He ^(B)entered a synagogue again; and a man was there whose hand was withered. ² And ^(C)they were watching Him ^[a]closely to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, ^(D)so that they might accuse Him. ³ He *said to the man with the withered hand, “^[b]Get up and come forward!” ⁴ And He *said to them, “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do harm, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent. ⁵ After ^(E)looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He *said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. ⁶ The Pharisees went out and immediately began ^[c]conspiring with the ^(F)Herodians against Him, as to how they might put Him to death.

Healing on the Sabbath

¹⁰ Now Jesus was ^(A)teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. ¹¹ And ^[a]there was a woman who for eighteen years had had ^(B)a ^[b]sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent over double, and could not straighten up at all. ¹² When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.” ¹³ And He ^(C)laid His hands on her; and immediately she stood up straight again, and began ^(D)glorifying God. ¹⁴ But ^(E)the synagogue leader, indignant because Jesus ^(F)had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, “^(G)There are six days during which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” ¹⁵ But ^(H)the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites, ^(I)does each of you on the Sabbath not untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it away to water it? ¹⁶ And this woman, ^(J)a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom ^(K)Satan has bound for ^[c]eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this restraint on the Sabbath day?” ¹⁷ And as He said this, all His opponents were being ^[d]humiliated; and ^(L)the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.

³⁰ And ^[a]large crowds came to Him bringing with them those who were limping, had impaired limbs, were blind, or were unable to speak, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and ^(A)He healed them.
