Matthew 12:10–18
10And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.↗
11He said to them,“What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?↗
12Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”↗
13Then he told the man,“Stretch out your hand.”He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.↗
14But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.↗
15Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,↗
16and commanded them that they should not make him known,↗
17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,↗
18“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.↗
