Mark 2:27–3:6

²⁷And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.

²⁸Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.

Chapter 3

And he entered again into the synagogue: and there was a man there who had a withered hand.

²And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days, that they might accuse him.

³And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the midst.

⁴And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to destroy? But they held their peace.

⁵And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him.

⁶And the Pharisees going out, immediately made a consultation with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
