¹⁰ And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, ^(A)“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.

¹⁴ But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had ^(A)healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, ^(B)“There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and ^(C)not on the Sabbath day.”

¹⁶ Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not ^[a]keep the Sabbath.”

Others said, ^(A)“How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And ^(B)there was a division among them.

⁶ This they said, testing Him, that they ^(A)might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, ^[a]as though He did not hear.

¹⁰ The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; ^(A)it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”
