Matthew 12:9-21

Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath

9 ^aAnd departing from there, He went into their synagogue. 10 And behold, a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned ¹Jesus, saying, “^aIs it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him. 11 And He said to them, “^aWhat man ¹is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 ^aHow much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do ¹good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then He *said to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” ^aHe stretched it out, and it was restored to ¹normal, like the other. 14 But going out, the Pharisees ^atook counsel together against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
15 But Jesus, ¹aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and ^aHe healed them all, 16 and ^awarned them not to make Him known, 17 in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
18

“^aBehold, My ¹Servant whom I ²have chosen;

^bMy Beloved in whom My soul ³is well‑pleased;

^cI will put My Spirit upon Him,

^aAnd He shall proclaim ⁴justice to the ⁵Gentiles.

^aHe will not quarrel, nor cry out;

Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

^aA battered reed He will not break off,

And a smoldering wick He will not put out,

Until He ¹leads ²justice to victory.

^aAnd in His name the ¹Gentiles will hope.”

Luke 6:6-11

Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath

6 ^aNow it happened that on another Sabbath He entered ^bthe synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there ¹whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes and the Pharisees ^awere watching Him closely to see if He heals on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him. 8 But He ^aknew ¹what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and ²come forward!” And he stood up and ³came forward. 9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?” 10 And after ^alooking around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” And he did so, and his hand was restored. 11 But they themselves were filled with ¹rage, and were discussing together what they might do to Jesus.
