Healing a Withered Hand

3:1 Then1 Jesus2 entered the synagogue3 again, and a man was there who had a withered4 hand. 3:2 They watched5 Jesus6 closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath,7 so that they could accuse him. 3:3 So he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Stand up among all these people.”8 3:4 Then9 he said to them, “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath, or evil, to save a life or destroy it?” But they were silent. 3:5 After looking around10 at them in anger, grieved by the hardness of their hearts,11 he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.12 3:6 So13 the Pharisees14 went out immediately and began plotting with the Herodians,15 as to how they could assassinate16 him.
