Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath

9aAnd departing from there, He went into their synagogue. 10And behold, a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned 1Jesus, saying, “aIs it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him. 11And He said to them, aWhat man 1is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? 12aHow much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do 1good on the Sabbath.” 13Then He *said to the man, Stretch out your hand!” aHe stretched it out, and it was restored to 1normal, like the other. 14But going out, the Pharisees atook counsel together against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
