Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, ‘There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.’

He replied, ‘Go and tell that fox, “I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.”

Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, ‘Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?’

But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.

Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus travelled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.

One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.

Jesus said to him, ‘Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.’

But Jesus answered, ‘No more of this!’ And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
