Healing on the Sabbath^(A)

^9 (B)Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue. ¹⁰ And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, ^(C)“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.

¹¹ Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? ¹² Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” ¹³ Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other. ¹⁴ Then ^(D)the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

Healing on the Sabbath^(A)

^6 (B)Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered. ⁷ So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would ^(C)heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an ^(D)accusation against Him. ⁸ But He ^(E)knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood. ⁹ Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: ^(F)Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or ^[a]to destroy?” ¹⁰ And when He had looked around at them all, He said to ^[b]the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored ^[c]as whole as the other. ¹¹ But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
