Mark 3:1-9 ▼

1 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up.

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

3 And he says to the man who had his hand dried up, Rise up [and come] into the midst.

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

5 And looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out, and his hand was restored.

6 And the Pharisees going out straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

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

8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him.

9 And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.
