Mark 3:1-9 ▼

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

2 And they watched him, whether he would cure him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse him.

3 And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Arise, and come into the midst.

4 And he said to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they were silent.

5 And looking around on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he said to the man: Stretch forth your hand; and he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored.

6 And the Pharisees immediately went out with the Herodians, and held a consultation against him, that they might destroy him.

7 And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and there followed him a great multitude from Galilee, and from Judea,

8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan: and those about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what things he was doing, came to him.

9 And he spoke to his disciples, that a small ship should continue near him, because of the multitude, that they might not press upon him.
