Mark 3:1-9 ▼

1 And he entred againe into ye Synagogue, & there was a man which had a withered had.

2 And they watched him, whether he would heale him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

3 Then he saide vnto the man which had the withered hand, Arise: stand forth in the middes.

4 And he saide to them, Is it lawfull to doe a good deede on the Sabbath day, or to doe euil? to saue the life, or to kil? But they held their peace.

5 Then hee looked rounde about on them angerly, mourning also for the hardnesse of their hearts, and saide to the man, Stretch foorth thine hand; he stretched it out: and his hande was restored, as whole as the other.

6 And the Pharises departed, & straightway gathered a councill with the Herodians against him, that they might destroy him.

7 But Iesus auoided with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude followed him from Galile, and from Iudea,

8 And from Ierusalem, & from Idumea, and beyonde Iordan: and they that dwelled about Tyrus & Sidon, when they had heard what great things he did, came vnto him in great number.

9 And he commanded his disciples, that a litle shippe should waite for him, because of the multitude, lest they shoulde throng him.
