Matthew 12:9-14
Christian Standard Bible
The Man with the Shriveled Hand
9 Moving on from there, he entered their synagogue.(A) 10 There he saw a man who had a shriveled hand, and in order to accuse him they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” (B)
11 He replied to them, “Who among you, if he had a sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and lift it out?(C) 12 A person is worth far more than a sheep; (D) so it is lawful to do what is good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored,(E) as good as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted against him, how they might kill him.(F)

Matthew 12:9-14
New American Standard Bible
9 (A)Departing from there, He went into their synagogue. 10 And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned [a]Jesus, asking, “(B)Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might bring charges against Him. 11 But He said to them, “(C)What man [b]is there among you who [c]has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 (D)How much more valuable then is a person than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do [d]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 [e]normal, like the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and [f](F)conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
