1
Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand.
2
They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him.
3
And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come forward."
4
Then he said to them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent.
5
He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
6
The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.
7
Jesus departed with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him;
8
hearing all that he was doing, they came to him in great numbers from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan, and the region around Tyre and Sidon.
9
He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him;
10
for he had cured many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him.
