Matthew 12:9-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

Jesus Heals a Man With a Withered Hand

⁹ Going on from there, he went into their synagogue. ¹⁰ A man was there who had a withered hand. Looking for a way to accuse Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on Sabbath days?”

¹¹ He said to them, “Who among you, if you have one sheep that falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? ¹² How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” ¹³ Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and it was restored, as healthy as the other one. ¹⁴ But the Pharisees went out and plotted against him, considering how they might put him to death.
