Matthew 12:9-13 (Gospel)
- 9
- Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue.
- 10
- And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” – that they might accuse Him.
- 11
- Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?
- 12
- Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
- 13
- Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.
