The Man with the Paralyzed Hand

⁹ Moving on from there, He entered their synagogue.^{(A) 10} There He saw a man who had a paralyzed hand. And in order to accuse Him they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”^(B)

¹¹ But He said to them, “What man among you, if he had a sheep^[a] that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and lift it out?^{(C) 12} A man is worth far more than a sheep,^(D) so it is lawful to do what is good on the Sabbath.”

¹³ Then He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored,^(E) as good as the other. ¹⁴ But the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.^(F)

The Man with the Paralyzed Hand

3 Now^(A) He entered the synagogue^(B) again, and a man was there who had a paralyzed^(C) hand. ² In order to accuse^(D) Him, they were watching Him closely^(E) to see whether He would heal^(F) him on the Sabbath.^{(G) 3} He told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Stand before us.”^{[a] 4} Then He said to them, “Is it lawful^(H) on the Sabbath to do what is good^(I) or to do what is evil,^(J) to save life^(K) or to kill?”^(L) But they were silent.^{(M) 5} After looking around at them with anger^(N) and sorrow at the hardness^(O) of their hearts, He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.^{(P) 6} Immediately the Pharisees^(Q) went out and started plotting^(R) with the Herodians^(S) against Him, how they might destroy^(T) Him.
