Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath

(A)And departing from there, He went into their synagogue. 10 And behold, a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned [a]Jesus, saying, “(B)Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him. 11 And He said to them, (C)What man [b]is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 (D)How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do [c]good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then He *said to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” (E)He stretched it out, and it was restored to [d]normal, like the other. 14 But going out, the Pharisees (F)took counsel together against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.

13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.(E)
