6 Once, on another Sabbath, Jesus went into a synagogue and began teaching. A man whose right hand was paralyzed was there.
7 The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, in order to find a way of accusing him of doing something wrong.
8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the paralyzed hand,"Get up, and stand in the middle of the synagogue." So he got up and stood there.
9 Then Jesus said to them,"I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?"
10 He looked around at all of them and then said to the man,"Hold out your hand." The man did so, and his hand was restored to health.
