4. Then Jesus asked the people, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath day: to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to kill?” But they said nothing to answer him.
5. Jesus was angry as he looked at the people, and he felt very sad because they were stubborn. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand 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, and a large crowd from Galilee followed him.
8. Also many people came from Judea, from Jerusalem, from Idumea, from the lands across the Jordan River, and from the area of Tyre and Sidon. When they heard what Jesus was doing, many people came to him.
9. When Jesus saw the crowds, he told his followers to get a boat ready for him to keep people from crowding against him.
10. He had healed many people, so all the sick were pushing toward him to touch him.
11. When evil spirits saw Jesus, they fell down before him and shouted, “You are the Son of God!”
12. But Jesus strongly warned them not to tell who he was.
13. Then Jesus went up on a mountain and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.
