Matthew 12:10-13

10 And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, "¹Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"-so that they might accuse Him.

11 And He said to them, "²What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

12 "³How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

13 Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" ⁴He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other.
