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 accuse Him. 11 And 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 man 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.
