Matthew 12:9-14

A Man with a Withered Hand

9 He went on from there and 1entered their synagogue.
10 And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, 2"Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"--3so that they might accuse him.
11 He said to them, "Which one of you who has a sheep, 4if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?
12 5Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So 6it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."
13 Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And 7the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other.
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.
