8. For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9. He departed there, and went into their synagogue.
10. And behold there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” that they might accuse him.
11. He 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?
12. Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
13. Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
14. But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
15. Yeshua, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
16. and commanded them that they should not make him known:
17. that 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.
19. He will not strive, nor shout;neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20. He won’t break a bruised reed.He won’t quench a smoking flax,until he leads justice to victory.
21. In his name, the nations will hope.”
22. Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
23. All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
24. But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
