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

⁹ Passing on, Jesus went into their Synagogue, ¹⁰ And there he saw a man with a withered hand. Some people asked Jesus whether it was allowable to work a cure on the Sabbath- -so that they might have a charge to bring against him.

¹¹ But Jesus said to them: "Which of you, if he had only one sheep, and that sheep fell into a pit on the Sabbath, would not lay hold of it and pull it out? ¹² And how much more precious a man is than a sheep! Therefore it is allowable to do good on the Sabbath."

¹³ Then he said to the man. "Stretch out your hand." The man stretched it out; and it had become as sound as the other. ¹⁴ On coming out, the Pharisees plotted against Jesus, to put him to death.

¹ On another occasion Jesus went in to a Synagogue, where they was a man whose hand was withered. ² And they watched Jesus closely, to see if he would cure the man on the Sabbath, so that they might have a charge to bring against him. ³ "Stand out in the middle," Jesus said to the man with the withered hand; ⁴ And to the people he said: "Is it allowable to do good on the Sabbath--or harm? to save a life, or destroy it?" ⁵ As they remained silent, Jesus looked round at them in anger, grieving at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man: "Stretch out your hand." The man stretched it out; and his hand had become sound. ⁶ Immediately on leaving the Synagogue, the Pharisees and the Herodians united in laying a plot against Jesus, to put him to death.

⁶ On another Sabbath Jesus went into the Synagogue and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. ⁷ The Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, to see if he would work cures on the Sabbath, so that they might find a charge to bring against him. ⁸ Jesus, however, knew what was in the their minds, and said to the man whose hand was withered: "Stand up and come out into the middle." The man stood up; ⁹ And Jesus said to them: "I ask you, is it allowable to do good on the Sabbath--or harm? to save a life, or let it perish?" ¹⁰ Then, looking round at them all, he said to the man: "Stretch out your hand." The man did so; and his hand had become sound. ¹¹ But the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were goaded to madness, and consulted together what they could do to Jesus.
