Matthew 12:9-14

Lexham English Bible

A Man with a Withered Hand Healed

⁹ And going on from there he came into their synagogue. ¹⁰ And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying, “Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?” in order that they could accuse him. ¹¹ But he said to them, “What man will there be among you who will have one sheep and if this one fell into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it^[a] out? ¹² Then to what degree is a man worth more than a sheep? So then, it is permitted to do good on the Sabbath.”

¹³ Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand,” and he stretched it^[b] out, and it was restored as healthy as the other one. ¹⁴ But the Pharisees went out and plotted^[c] against him in order that they could destroy him.
