Matthew 12:9-13 ▼

9 Moving on from there, Jesus went into their synagogue.

10 Suddenly, a man with a paralyzed hand appeared. The people asked Jesus if it was lawful to heal on Sabbath days, intending to accuse him of doing something wrong.

11 But he asked them, |Is there a man among you who, if he had one sheep and it fell into a ditch on the Sabbath, wouldn't take hold of it and pull it out?

12 How much more is a human being worth than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on Sabbath days.|

13 Then he told the man, |Hold out your hand.| He held it out and it became normal, as healthy as his other hand.
