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)

So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”(C) 13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and it was restored, as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.(D)
