8
For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
9
And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue:
10
and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him.
11
And he said unto them,
What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12
How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.
13
Then saith he to the man,
Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, as the other.
14
But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
15
And Jesus perceiving [it] withdrew from thence: and many followed him; and he healed them all,
16
and charged them that they should not make him known:
17
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18
Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit upon him, And he shall declare judgment to the Gentiles.
