Matthew 12:9-14 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

9. Jesus went from there to their synagogue.

10. In the synagogue there was a man with a crippled hand. Some Jews there were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus of doing wrong. So they asked him, “Is it right to heal on the Sabbath day?”

11. Jesus answered, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a ditch on the Sabbath day, you will take the sheep and help it out of the ditch.

12. Surely a man is more important than a sheep. So it is right to do good on the Sabbath day.”

13. Then Jesus said to the man with the crippled hand, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand, and it became well again, the same as the other hand.

14. But the Pharisees left and made plans to kill Jesus.
