1. Another time when Jesus went into a synagogue, a man with a crippled hand was there.
2. Some people there wanted to see Jesus do something wrong so they could accuse him. They watched him closely to see if he would heal the man on the Sabbath day.
3. Jesus said to the man with the crippled hand, “Stand up here in front of everyone.”
4. Then Jesus asked the people, “Which is right on the Sabbath day: to do good, or to do evil? Is it right to save a life or to destroy one?” But they said nothing to answer him.
5. Jesus was angry as he looked at the people. But he felt very sad because they were stubborn. Then he said to the man, “Let me see your hand.” The man put his hand out for Jesus, and it was healed.
6. Then the Pharisees left and began making plans with the Herodians about a way to kill Jesus.
7. Jesus left with his followers for the lake. A large crowd from Galilee followed him.
