Mark 3:1–6 Again he entered the synagogue. There was a man there who had a withered hand. They watched him closely to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. He said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” Then he said to them, “Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent. He looked around at them with anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. Then the Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians how they might destroy him.
