A man was there whose right hand was shriveled. 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 shriveled 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 to do good on the Sabbath or to do 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, 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.
