Matthew 12:12-22

12 How much more is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is leaveful to do good in the sabbaths [in the sabbath].
13 Then he said to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched forth; and it was restored to health as the other.
14 And the Pharisees went out, and made a council against him, how they should destroy him [how they should lose him].
15 And Jesus knew it, and went away from thence; and many followed him, and he healed them all.
16 And he commanded to them, that they should not make him known;
17 that that thing were fulfilled [that that thing should be fulfilled], that was said by Esaias, the prophet, saying,
18 Lo! my child, whom I have chosen, my darling, in whom it hath well pleased to my soul; I shall put my Spirit on him, and he shall tell doom to heathen men.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry, neither any man shall hear his voice in streets.
20 A bruised reed he shall not break, and he shall not quench smoking flax, till he cast out doom to victory;
21 and heathen men shall hope in his name.
22 Then a man blind and dumb, that had a fiend [having a devil], was brought to him; and he healed him, so that he spake, and saw.
