Jesus Heals a Man with a Paralyzed Hand^(A)

3 Jesus^[a] went into the synagogue again, and a man with a paralyzed hand was there. ² The people^[b] watched Jesus^[c] closely to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath,^[d] intending to accuse him of doing something wrong. ³ He told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Come forward.”^{[e] 4} Then he asked them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on Sabbath days,^[f] to save a life or to destroy it?” But they remained silent.

⁵ Jesus^[g] looked around at them in anger, deeply hurt because of their hard hearts. Then he told the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man^[h] held it out, and his hand was restored to health. ⁶ Immediately the Pharisees and Herodians^[i] went out and began to plot how to kill him.

Jesus Heals a Man with a Paralyzed Hand^(A)

⁶ Once, on another Sabbath, Jesus^[a] went into a synagogue and began teaching. A man whose right hand was paralyzed was there. ⁷ The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Jesus^[b] closely to see^[c] whether he would heal on the Sabbath, in order to find a way of accusing him of doing something wrong. ⁸ But Jesus^[d] knew what they were thinking. So he told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Get up, and stand in the middle of the synagogue.”^[e] So he got up and stood there.

⁹ Then Jesus asked them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?”

¹⁰ He looked around at all of them and then told the man,^[f] “Hold out your hand.” The man^[g] did so, and his hand was restored to health. ¹¹ The others were furious^[h] and began to discuss with each other what they could do to Jesus.
