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

⁹ And going on from thence, he came into their synagogue; ¹⁰ and, behold a man was there who had a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

¹¹ Then he said to them; What man of you is there who hath one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath, doth he not lay hold on him, and lift him out? ¹² Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath days.

¹³ Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand; and he stretched it out, and it was restored, sound as the other. ¹⁴ Then the Pharisees went out, and held a consultation against him, how they might make away with him.

¹ AND he entered again into the synagogue; and a man was there who had a withered hand. ² And they watched him if he would cure him on the sabbath; that they might accuse him. ³ And he saith to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up in the midst. ⁴ And he saith to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do evil, to preserve life, or to kill? but they were silent. ⁵ Then looking round about on them with indignation, exceedingly grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he stretched it out: and his hand was restored sound as the other. ⁶ And the Pharisees instantly going out, held a council with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

⁶ And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and a man was there, and his right hand was shrunk. ⁷ Then the scribes and Pharisees watched him, if he would heal on the sabbath-day, that they might find an accusation against him. ⁸ Now he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst. And he arose, and stood up. ⁹ Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you a question; Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to preserve life or to destroy it? ¹⁰ And looking round upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he did so: and his hand was restored sound as the other. ¹¹ But they were filled with madness, and talked earnestly to each other what they could do to Jesus.
