²⁷Jesus said to them, “^aThe Sabbath ¹was made ²for man, and ^bnot man for the Sabbath.

²⁸“So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

Chapter 3

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

^1aHe ^bentered again into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered.

^2aThey were watching Him to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, ^bso that they might accuse Him.

³He said to the man with the withered hand, “¹Get up and come forward!”

⁴And He said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent.

⁵After ^alooking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

⁶The Pharisees went out and immediately began ¹conspiring with the ^aHerodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
