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

⁹ Departing thence He went to their synagogue, ¹⁰ where there was a man with a shrivelled arm. And they questioned Him, "Is it right to cure people on the Sabbath?" Their intention was to bring a charge against Him.

¹¹ "Which of you is there," He replied, "who, if he has but a single sheep and it falls into a hole on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? ¹² Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath."

¹³ Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." And he stretched it out, and it was restored quite sound like the other. ¹⁴ But the Pharisees after leaving the synagogue consulted together against Him, how they might destroy Him.

¹ At another time, when He went to the synagogue, there was a man there with one arm shrivelled up. ² They closely watched Him to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath--so as to have a charge to bring against Him. ³ "Come forward," said He to the man with the shrivelled arm. ⁴ Then He asked them, "Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?" They remained silent. ⁵ Grieved and indignant at the hardening of their hearts, He looked round on them with anger, and said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He stretched it out, and the arm was completely restored. ⁶ But no sooner had the Pharisees left the synagogue than they held a consultation with the Herodians against Jesus, to devise some means of destroying Him.

⁶ On another Sabbath He had gone to the synagogue and was teaching there; and in the congregation was a man whose right arm was withered. ⁷ The Scribes and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath that they might be able to bring an accusation against Him. ⁸ He knew their thoughts, and said to the man with the withered arm, "Rise, and stand there in the middle." And he rose and stood there. ⁹ Then Jesus said to them, "I put it to you all whether we are allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil; to save a life, or to destroy it." ¹⁰ And looking round upon them all He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He did so, and the arm was restored. ¹¹ But they were filled with madness, and began to discuss with one another what they should do to Jesus.
