1 At another time, when He went to the synagogue, there was a man there with one arm shrivelled up.
2 They closely watched Him to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath–so as to have a charge to bring against Him.
3 »Come forward,« said He to the man with the shrivelled arm.
4 Then He asked them, »Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?« They remained silent.
5 Grieved and indignant at the hardening of their hearts, He looked round on them with anger, and said to the man, »Stretch out your arm.« He stretched it out, and the arm was completely restored.
