Mark 3:1-9

A Man with a Withered Hand Healed

1 And he entered into the synagogue again, and a man who had a withered hand was there.

2 And they were watching him closely [to see] if he would heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they could accuse him.

3 And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come into the middle."

4 And he said to them, "Is it permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent.

5 And looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched [it] out, and his hand was restored.

6 And the Pharisees went out immediately with the Herodians {and began to conspire} against him with regard to how they could destroy him.

Jesus Heals Crowds by the Sea

7 And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd from Galilee followed [him]. And from Judea

8 and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and the other side of the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon a great crowd came to him [because they] heard all that he was doing.

9 And he told his disciples that a small boat should stand ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not press upon him.
