Luke 6:7-9
Revised Geneva Translation
7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched Him, to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him.
8 But He knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise, and stand up in the midst.” And he arose and stood up.
9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you a question: Which is lawful on the Sabbath days - to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to destroy?”
