Healing a Withered Hand

6:6 On18 another Sabbath, Jesus19 entered the synagogue20 and was teaching. Now21 a man was there whose right hand was withered.22 6:7 The experts in the law23 and the Pharisees24 watched25 Jesus26 closely to see if27 he would heal on the Sabbath,28 so that they could find a reason to accuse him. 6:8 But29 he knew30 their thoughts,31 and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Get up and stand here.”32 So33 he rose and stood there. 6:9 Then34 Jesus said to them, “I ask you,35 is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?” 6:10 After36 looking around37 at them all, he said to the man,38 “Stretch out your hand.” The man39 did so, and his hand was restored.40 6:11 But they were filled with mindless rage41 and began debating with one another what they would do42 to Jesus.
