Matthew 12:10-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they questioned him, so that they might accuse him, saying, "Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbaths?"

11. But he said to them: "Who is there among you, having even one sheep, if it will have fallen into a pit on the Sabbath, would not take hold of it and lift it up?

12. How much better is a man than a sheep? And so, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbaths."

13. Then he said to the man, "Extend your hand." And he extended it, and it was restored to health, just like the other one.

14. Then the Pharisees, departing, took council against him, as to how they might destroy him.

15. But Jesus, knowing this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he cured them all.

16. And he instructed them, lest they make him known.

17. Then what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled, saying:

18. "Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will place my Spirit over him, and he shall announce judgment to the nations.

19. He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall anyone hear his voice in the streets.
