1 Jesus went into the synagogue again, and a man with a paralyzed hand was there.

2 The people watched Jesus closely to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, intending to accuse him of doing something wrong.

3 He said to the man with the paralyzed hand,"Come forward."

4 Then he asked them,"Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill it?" But they were silent.

5 Jesus looked around at them with anger, for he was deeply hurt because of their hardness of heart. Then he said to the man,"Hold out your hand." The man held it out, and his hand was restored to health.
