New International Reader's Version

Matthew 12:10-13 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

10. A man with a weak and twisted hand was there. The Pharisees were trying to find fault with Jesus. So they asked him, "Does the Law allow us to heal on the Sabbath day?"

11. He said to them, "What if one of your sheep falls into a pit on the Sabbath? Won't you take hold of it and lift it out?

12. A man is worth more than sheep! So the Law allows us to do good on the Sabbath day."

13. Then Jesus said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." So he stretched it out. It was as good as new, just as good as the other hand.
