Jesus Heals on the Day of Worship^(A)

⁹ Yeshua moved on from there and went into a synagogue. ¹⁰ A man with a paralyzed hand was there. The people asked Yeshua whether it was right to heal on a day of worship so that they could accuse him of doing something wrong.

¹¹ Yeshua said to them, “Suppose one of you has a sheep. If it falls into a pit on a day of worship, wouldn’t you take hold of it and lift it out? ¹² Certainly, a human is more valuable than a sheep! So it is right to do good on the day of worship.”

¹³ Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held it out, and it became normal again, as healthy as the other.

¹⁴ The Pharisees left and plotted to kill Yeshua. ¹⁵ He knew about this, so he left that place.

Jesus Is God’s Servant

Many people followed him, and he cured all of them.

Jesus Heals on the Day of Worship^(A)

⁶ On another day of worship, Yeshua went into a synagogue to teach. A man whose right hand was paralyzed was there. ⁷ The experts in Moses’ Teachings and the Pharisees were watching Yeshua closely. They wanted to see whether he would heal the man on the day of worship so that they could find a way to accuse him of doing something wrong.

⁸ But Yeshua knew what they were thinking. So he told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Get up, and stand in the center of the synagogue!” The man got up and stood there. ⁹ Then Yeshua said to them, “I ask you—what is the right thing to do on a day of worship: to do good or evil, to give a person his health or to destroy it?” ¹⁰ He looked around at all of them and then said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man did so, and his hand became normal again.

¹¹ The experts in Moses’ Teachings and Pharisees were furious and began to discuss with each other what they could do to Yeshua.
