A MAN WITH A

WITHERED HAND

 

Matthew 12

 10And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

   11And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

   12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

   13Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

Mark 3

 1And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.

   2And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

   3And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.

   4And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

   5And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

Luke 6

 6And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

   7And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

   8But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

   9Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

   10And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
