1 Again he went into a synagogue where there was a man with his hand withered.

2 And they kept watching Jesus to see whether he would cure him on the Sabbath; so as to have some charge to bring against him.

3 "Stand up," Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, "and come forward."

4 Then he asked them. "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath Day, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?"

5 They were silent. Then looking around upon them with anger, and deeply grieved by the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and the hand was at once completely restored.
