6
On another Sabbath, Jesus entered a synagogue to teach. A man was there whose right hand was withered.
7
The legal experts and the Pharisees were watching him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They were looking for a reason to bring charges against him.
8
Jesus knew their thoughts, so he said to the man with the withered hand, " Get up and stand in front of everyone." He got up and stood there.
9
Jesus said to the legal experts and Pharisees, " Here's a question for you: Is it legal on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?"
10
Looking around at them all, he said to the man, " Stretch out your hand." So he did and his hand was made healthy.
11
They were furious and began talking with each other about what to do to Jesus.
