Mark 3:1-8 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand.

2. And they watched Jesus, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him.

3. And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.”

4. And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent.

5. And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

6. The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

7. Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea

8. and Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him.
