The Man with the Shrivelled Hand

⁹ Moving on from there, he entered their synagogue.^{(A) 10} There he saw a man who had a shrivelled hand, and in order to accuse him they asked him, ‘Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? ’^(B)

¹¹ He replied to them, ‘Who among you, if he had a sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and lift it out?^{(C) 12} A person 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 kill him.^(F)

3 Jesus^(A) entered the synagogue^(B) again, and a man was there who had a shrivelled^(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 shrivelled hand, ‘Stand before us.’ ⁴ Then he said to them, ‘Is it lawful^(H) to do good^(I) on the Sabbath or to do evil,^(J) to save life^(K) or to kill? ’^(L) But they were silent.^{(M) 5} After looking round at them with anger,^(N) he was grieved at the hardness^(O) of their hearts and 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 kill^(T) him.
