Mark 3:4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
4 And He says to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do-harm[a], to save a life or to kill?” But the ones were being silent. 5 And having looked-around-at them with anger, while being deeply-grieved at the hardness of their heart, He says to the man, “Stretch out the hand”. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 And having gone out, the Pharisees immediately were giving counsel against Him with the Herodians[b] so that they might destroy Him.

- Mark 3:4 The answer is that the day makes no difference. It is good to do good and wrong to do harm on all seven days. The Sabbath is a day of rest from one’s work, not from doing good.
- Mark 3:6 That is, those politically linked to Herod’s family. As a false prophet, being a Sabbath-breaker, Jesus is a religious and political problem for these leaders.
Mark 3:4-6
New International Version
4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.
5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians(A) how they might kill Jesus.(B)
