MATTHEW CHAPTER 12
12:9-10 – Leaving there he went into their synagogue, where there happened to be a man with a shrivelled hand. “Is it right to heal anyone on the Sabbath day?” they asked him – hoping to bring a charge against him.
12:11-12 – “If any of you had a sheep which fell into a ditch on the Sabbath day, would he not take hold of it and pull it out?” replied Jesus. “How much more valuable is a man than a sheep? You see, it is right to do good on the Sabbath day.”
12:13 – Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” He did stretch it out, and it was restored as sound as the other.
12:14 – But the Pharisees went out and held a meeting against Jesus and discussed how they could get rid of him altogether.
