Par 

9 And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue,

10 And beholde there was a man which had his hande dryed vp, and they asked him, saying: Is it lawfull to heale vpon the Sabbath dayes? that they might accuse him.

11 And he sayde vnto them: What man of you wyll there be that shall haue a sheepe, & if it fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, wyll he not take holde of it, and lift it out?

12 Howe much more then is a man better then a sheepe? Wherfore it is lawfull to do a good deede on the Sabbath dayes.

13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch foorth thy hande. And he stretched it foorth: and it was made whole like as the other.
