Jesus Heals a Man with a Paralyzed Hand(A)

Jesus[a] went into the synagogue again, and a man with a paralyzed hand was there. The people[b] watched Jesus[c] closely to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath,[d] intending to accuse him of doing something wrong. He told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Come forward.”[e] Then he asked them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on Sabbath days,[f] to save a life or to destroy it?” But they remained silent.
