6
And it came about on another Shabbos that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered into the shul and taught Torah. And there was a man there also whose right hand was withered.
7
Now the Sofrim and Perushim were watching Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to see if he brings refuah on Shabbos, in order that they might find something to accuse him.
8
But he knew their machshavot (thoughts), and said to the man having the withered hand, Rise and stand in the midst. And the man got up and stood.
9
And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, I ask you whether it is mutar on Shabbos to do hatov or to do harah, to save nefesh or destroy it?
10
And having looked around at all of them, he said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he did. And his hand was restored.
11
But they (the Sofrim and the Perushim) were filled with ka’as (anger), and they were discussing with one another what they might do to him.
12
Now it came about in those yamim that Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach went forth to the mountain to daven, and he was spending the whole night b’tefillah to Hashem.
13
And when boker came, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach summoned his talmidim, and chose from them Shneym Asar (Twelve), whom he also named Shlichim:
14
Shimon, whom also he called Kefa; Andrew his brother; Yaakov, Yochanan, Philippos, Bar-Talmai,
15
Mattityahu, Toma, Yaakov Ben-Chalfai, Shimon, the one being called the Zealot,
16
Yehudah Ben Yaakov, and Yehudah from Kriot, who became the boged (traitor, betrayer) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
