“On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man

was there whose right hand was shrivelled. The Pharisees and the teachers of the

law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if

he would heal on the Sabbath. But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said

to the man with the shrivelled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.”

So he got up and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful

on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” He looked

around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.”

He did so, and his hand was completely restored. But they were furious and began

to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.” - Luke 6: 6 - 11
