Matthew 12:9-13 ▼

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

10 And behold, there was a man there who had a withered hand. They questioned him, “Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath?” so that they might accuse him.

11 He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep that falls into a pit on the sabbath will not take hold of it and lift it out?

12 How much more valuable a person is than a sheep. So it is lawful to do good on the sabbath.”

13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and it was restored as sound as the other.
