7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, [to see] whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find an accusation against him.

8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose, and stood forth.

9 Then said Jesus to them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath-days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy [it]?
