The Man with the Paralyzed Hand

⁹ Moving on from there, He entered their synagogue.^{(A) 10} There He saw a man who had a paralyzed hand. And in order to accuse Him they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”^(B)

¹¹ But He said to them, “What man among you, if he had a sheep^[a] that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and lift it out?^{(C) 12} A man is worth far more than a sheep,^(D) so it is lawful to do what is good on the Sabbath.”

¹³ Then He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored,^(E) as good as the other. ¹⁴ But the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.^(F)

The Man with the Paralyzed Hand

⁶ On another Sabbath^(A) He entered the synagogue and was teaching. A man was there whose right hand was paralyzed. ⁷ The scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely,^(B) to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a charge against Him.^{(C) 8} But He knew their thoughts^(D) and told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Get up and stand here.”^[a] So he got up and stood there. ⁹ Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do what is good or to do what is evil, to save life or to destroy it?”^{(E) 10} After looking around at them all,^(F) He told him, “Stretch out your hand.”^(G) He did so, and his hand was restored.^{[b] 11} They, however, were filled with rage and started discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.
