English Standard Version

A Man with a Withered Hand

⁹He went on from there and ^(A)entered their synagogue. ¹⁰And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, ^(B)“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—^(C)so that they might accuse him. ¹¹He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, ^(D)if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? ¹²^(E)Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So ^(F)it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” ¹³Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And ^(G)the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other. ¹⁴But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.

A Man with a Withered Hand

3 ^(A)Again ^(B)he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. ²And ^(C)they watched Jesus,^[a] to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. ³And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” ⁴And he said to them, ^(D)“Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. ⁵And he ^(E)looked around at them with anger, grieved at ^(F)their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” ^(G)He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. ⁶^(H)The Pharisees went out and immediately ^(I)held counsel with ^(J)the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.
