Matthew 12:9-14 - A Man With A Withered Hand Healed

⁹ And, going away from thence, he came into their synagogue. ¹⁰ And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

¹¹ But he said to them, What man shall there be of you who has one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and raise it up? ¹² How much better then is a man than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.

¹³ Then he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out, and it was restored sound as the other. ¹⁴ But the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

¹ And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up. ² And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him. ³ And he says to the man who had his hand dried up, Rise up and come into the midst. ⁴ And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they were silent. ⁵ And looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. ⁶ And the Pharisees going out straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

⁶ And it came to pass on another sabbath also that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered. ⁷ And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching if he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find something of which to accuse him. ⁸ But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up, and stand in the midst. And having risen up he stood there. ⁹ Jesus therefore said to them, I will ask you if it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? ¹⁰ And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch out thy hand. And he did so and his hand was restored as the other. ¹¹ But they were filled with madness, and they spoke together among themselves what they should do to Jesus.
